Tools needed: small power drill
Additional tools you may find helpful: clamps or masking tape
Supplies needed: paintable latex caulk, paper towels and water-based paint for exterior finish
We use high quality building materials: exterior grade ACX plywood. All interior surfaces have cut grooves giving bats a permanent gripping surface that will never come loose and entangle or injure the bats. Kit comes with instructions, screws, nails and a cut-out bat to decorate the front of the house.
The manual covers choosing a paint color, as well as, where and how to install your bat house for the best chances of success.
Made in the USA using global materials by us in our BatShop!

Specifications:
Dimensions: H 28" x W 18" x 4.5 D "
Weight: 13 lbs.
Bat Capacity*: about 150 to 220 (depending on the species)
Cubic Inches of Roosting Space: 660
*We attempt to be honest with our estimates allowing approx. 3 cubic inches for each bat. This includes an allowance for unused space since the bats will not pack the house top to bottom. Some species will crowd in very tightly, others will not. Here's the math: "Cubic Inches of Roosting space / 3 Cubic Inches = estimate of capacity".
Why does it cost so much to ship?
Our bat houses are full size and certifiable. They are not toys or small bird house style kits - this kit ships in a 29x17x4 box and ships at 15 lbs.
If you purchase more than one kit, the kits will be flat packed in as few boxes as possible and your shipping charges will be adjusted to compensate. If you prefer to have each kit individually box, please let us know in the order comments.

I just built my new 3 chamber bat house, so I can only review the house itself, not if it attracts bats. That's yet to be seen. The construction and assembly of the house is excellent. It goes together very easily. I'm pretty sure I overdid the silicone sealer (exterior, paintable), but no matter. If the bats like it as much as I do, then we're in business.

Really pleased with how easily I was able to put this kit together following the included instructions. Very thorough, all needed parts (including driver bit and screws) are included, so that all you have to provide is caulk and time.

The 3 chambered bat house was well designed and easy to assemble thanks to many pre-cut slots and accurate measurements. I watched the online video and it was straight forward.

My Habitat for Bats kit was exactly as described and expected. Communication with the company was superb. Shipping was prompt. The kit went together very well. And the bats moved out of my attic and into the house immediately. I've had the house up several weeks and will do the exclusion this weekend. I am very satisfied.

I ordered the three chamber Bat House Kit for my husband. He is very handy and had no trouble assembling it. He mounted it on a 20' pole, anchored in concrete and with bolts in the base, so he can lower it easily. It's only been up a few weeks and no bats yet, but hope they will soon.
