The Cavity Bat Box is designed for British bat species that naturally roost in tree cavities. It provides a larger internal space compared to crevice-style boxes, making it suitable for species that prefer open roosting environments.
Manufactured from FSC® certified exterior grade plywood, the box features a black exterior to increase heat absorption and internal ceramic heat sinks to help stabilise temperature conditions within the roost.
