Q: There are no mounting holes in the box, how do I install a mounting screw.
8 days ago1 Answer
- AI-assisted, Human-approvedA: Hi stauf10545: To install a mounting screw, you can use a small screw for the existing hole and then place a second screw through the bottom for stability. Alternatively, you may add brackets to each side or use galvanized metal flashing to create a custom mount.5 days agoHelpful?
Q: *Will this house draw the bats to it?*
11 days ago1 Answer
- AI-assisted, Human-approvedA: Hi Avtfirefly- It depends on proper placement, as simply hanging the house does not guarantee attracting bats. To increase your chances, mount the house 12 to 20 feet high on a pole or building in a location that receives at least 6 hours of full sun.7 days agoHelpful?

Q: Where/How do i mount this? On a post,in a tree?
a year ago1 Answer
- A: Bat houses should face south or southeast to get 6–8 hours of direct sunlight each day. However, some say that trees can block sunlight, making it difficult for bat houses to get the right amount of sun. Bat houses should be placed in open areas that are free of obstructions within a 20-foot radius. They should also be at least 12 feet off the ground and 20–30 feet from tree branches. If possible, you can choose a location near a water source like a stream, river, pond, or lake. These areas are natural bat flyways and provide a nearby feeding zone for bats on hot daya year agoHelpful?
Q: How can I attract bats to house? Is there something I can use?
3 years ago1 Answer
- A: Fragrant flowers, herbs, and night-blooming plants attract nocturnal insects, which, in turn, lure bats. The more insects, the better. Try planting dahlia, French marigold, nicotiana, evening primrose, thyme, raspberry, or honeysuckle.3 years agoHelpful?
Q: A purchased two of the s&k cedar 50-bat houses. How far apart do they need to be from the other? Do I need to put a finish on them to protect them from weather before hanging them?
3 years ago1 Answer
- A: The manufacturer has not specified a distance, typically there is no set rule on how many you can place per acre. The houses come fully assembled, adding a finish would be per preference and not necessarily needed or required to house the bats.3 years agoHelpful?
Q: I know there is a hole in the back for a lag screw, but how do you get in the house enough to get the screw into the hole?

Cute bat house
7 years ago
I ordered this bat house because it is not too big not too small. It also has spooky looking trees on the front which makes it cute in my opinion . We mounted it at the top of a wooden 4 x 4 I think. I’ve heard it can take a couple years for bats to move in but I am hoping they like the location! We NEED bats because mosquitoes LOVE our backyard. :)

Good for the money
8 years ago
This is a cute house and nice for the low cost. However, the biggest flaw I found after it arrived was that it doesn't open to be cleaned. A lot of the other houses I looked at specifically said that the tops opened for easy cleaning. This one didn't specify if it did or didn't and I assumed it would. Also, the hole that is drilled into the back is impossible to get to with a drill or hammer. So hanging it was another problem. I had to add brackets to each side and then drill into the house. The house is also much smaller than I expected, but I'm not really sure how close bats like to sleep so I'm not sure if that will be a problem or not.
Still not a bad product for the very low price compared to the certified bat houses that are offered through "Bat Conservation International". I would say this is a very novice house and if you're really looking to add bats to your property, I would go with a better quality house from a certified dealer.

roof was broken
a month ago
purchased 2 of these "50" bat houses. one had broken roof so rather than return it, i put scrap piece of wood over it to keep water out. i would like to see 50 bats fit inside this small box. i didn't look at dimensions thinking, " 2x50=100 bats should be plenty around the house to keep mosquitos down," but i can't see even 10 bats crowding into this. on the brighter side the rough cedar is great and the symbol on the front side is festive
No, I do not recommend this product.

Heather was the best.
a month ago
Well built with quality materials. I have been meaning to get one for many years so I looked up two other favorite online shopping sites and was not satisfied. For the first time ever I called Tractor Supply online and spoke with the nicest salesperson named Heather. The HQ where she works is Brentwood, TN just south of Nashville. She was great. In order to avoid shipping I ordered two of these. Installation is best in the Winter because bats already have roosts at this time of year.
