Do Your Bat House Research First!<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

It is important to do your research and learn how to properly\ninstall bat houses. They must be constructed and mounted according to certain\nspecifications for them to be safe and humane for bats, and do not pose any\nrisks to you and your home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, bat houses should not be installed on trees,\nand instead, should be mounted on wooden posts, steel poles, or pivot poles.\nAdditionally, they should be mounted at least 15 feet off the ground in an area\nthat gets 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, bat houses should be mounted at least 30 feet\naway from any houses or occupied structures; this is to protect properties from\nbat damages and infestations, as well as, keep bats and pets separated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
