The nest box is made from Woodstone a concrete and wood fibre mix which has excellent thermal properties and safeguards against attacks from predators including woodpeckers, cats and squirrels.
Hang the artificial nest in a shed/barn, under a carport or bridge. The nest should be placed directly under the ceiling so that only a small space (at least 4 cm) remains between ceiling and nest edge. Preferably place several nests together because the swallow prefers to breed in colonies. For a better chance of occupation, site the nest in a location with horses or cattle present as it means there will be plenty of flies for the swallows to eat.
Clean the nest bowl once a year at the end of the season (October). The reliability of the suspension must also be checked annually.
