The Harlech is a versatile bat box that is suitable for a range of bats depending on which species occur in your area locally and where you hang the box.
Key Features:
Why do we need to protect bats?
Bats play an important role within our environment. As well as performing some pollination, bats are a natural control of insect populations as these are their main food source. Bats are also a good indicator species of environmental health, with changes in populations reflecting local biodiversity.
Bats are a schedule 1 protected species under the Wildlife & Countryside Act. It is illegal for any member of the public to disturb a roost, handle or kill any bat. Bat boxes therefore may only be inspected by a licensed bat worker. However, you can monitor your bat box without disturbance, look for mouse-sized droppings beneath the box as a clue to occupation or observe from a distance at dusk to see if bats are exiting the box to hunt.

SITING:
The bat box can be placed on both a tree or a façade. Preferably choose a sunny spot but do not place the cabinet under or in artificial light and avoid placing where the rain can directly access the box.
Ideally, two to three boxes should be erected facing in different directions to account for temperature changes from day to day.
Hang the bat box with the supplied screws. In the back of the box, there is a "keyhole" where the mounted screw can be hooked. The pre-drilled hole in the landing board allows you to secure the bat box. Preferably hang several boxes together. When placing in bunkers, cellars, attics, and stables, place the boxes as high as possible against the façade or posts, they should be hung at a minimum height of 3 meters (approx 10ft).
Suitable for mounting on a tree or wall.
