Fait main en cèdre résistant aux intempéries dans une finition marron chaude, ce nichoir certifié MTBC accueille jusqu'à 200 chauves-souris sur trois chambres — assez de profondeur pour une colonie de mise bas stable, et une finition calée sur les régions à étés chauds.
Trois chambres, jusqu'à 200 chauves-souris. L'intérieur reproduit les fentes étroites que les chauves-souris choisissent dans la nature, avec la profondeur qu'une colonie de mise bas exige pour élever ses jeunes ensemble plutôt que de s'entasser dans un seul espace.
Calé sur les étés chauds. La finition marron convient aux régions où la moyenne se situe entre 29 et 35 °C : elle maintient l'intérieur dans la plage de 27 à 40 °C dont les chauves-souris ont besoin. Le cèdre naturel réfléchit davantage la chaleur pour les régions plus chaudes, le noir en retient davantage pour les plus fraîches.
Certifié par Merlin Tuttle's Bat Conservation. La certification MTBC signifie que les dimensions des chambres, la ventilation et la finition ont été évaluées au regard de ce que les chauves-souris occupent réellement — et non supposées.
Fait pour affronter les saisons. Le cèdre résiste à la pourriture sans traitement chimique et tient face à la pluie, à la neige, au soleil et au vent. Le toit incliné évacue l'eau et l'intérieur rainuré offre une prise tout en laissant circuler l'air.
Soyons clairs sur les délais. Les chauves-souris prospectent au printemps et prennent leur temps. Certains nichoirs se remplissent la première saison, d'autres la deuxième. La hauteur, l'ensoleillement et la distance à l'eau comptent plus que tout le reste.

Les gîtes à une chambre sont un choix courant pour les petits jardins et les cours. Quand la place manque, un modèle à une chambre s’intègre sans encombrer. Sur un terrain plus vaste, un modèle à deux ou trois chambres offre en revanche bien plus d’espace de repos aux chauves-souris.
Le principal atout d’un gîte à deux chambres est sa capacité : il accueille davantage de chauves-souris qu’un modèle à une chambre, ce qui en fait une bonne option pour les grands terrains ou pour attirer une colonie plus nombreuse. L’espace supplémentaire offre aussi de meilleures conditions pour se reposer et élever les jeunes.
Les gîtes à trois chambres présentent plusieurs avantages nets sur les modèles à une ou deux chambres. Ils accueillent des colonies plus importantes, régulent mieux la température au fil de l’année et favorisent la cohésion du groupe, ce qui renforce l’effet sur les insectes. Construits dans des matériaux durables et de qualité, ils constituent un choix solide et pratique sur le long terme.

La taille joue sur la capacité comme sur la régulation thermique. Un gîte à 2 chambres accueille environ 50 à 75 chauves-souris et convient aux petits jardins ou aux colonies de mâles. Les gîtes à 3 ou 4 chambres peuvent abriter plusieurs centaines d’individus, colonies de mise bas comprises, et conservent la chaleur de façon plus régulière – ce qui compte dans les régions à forts écarts de température.
Trop petit, le gîte limite les chances de réussite ; trop grand, c’est rarement un problème. Si vous avez la place et l’ensoleillement, un modèle plus grand donne les meilleurs résultats sur la durée.
La bonne couleur dépend du climat local. Les teintes sombres, noir ou brun foncé, absorbent plus de chaleur et conviennent aux régions fraîches aux étés doux. Les teintes moyennes, bois naturel ou brun moyen, vont aux zones tempérées. Les teintes claires, cèdre ou sable, renvoient la lumière et prennent l’avantage là où les étés dépassent régulièrement 35 °C. L’objectif : maintenir l’intérieur du gîte entre 27 et 40 °C.
Concrètement, en Europe de l’Ouest :
En cas de doute, choisissez la teinte la plus foncée, surtout là où les nuits restent fraîches.
La capacité dépend de la taille et de l’emplacement. Un gîte à 2 chambres peut accueillir 50 à 75 chauves-souris ; les modèles à 3 ou 4 chambres en abritent plusieurs centaines, colonies de mise bas comprises.
Comme les chauves-souris se regroupent pour garder la chaleur, un espace de repos suffisant conditionne leur réussite. En cas d’hésitation, voyez plus grand : un gîte trop vaste pose rarement problème, alors qu’un gîte trop petit freine la croissance de la colonie et réduit les chances à long terme.
Certains gîtes sont occupés en quelques semaines, mais il faut compter 2 à 6 mois en moyenne. Les grands modèles peuvent demander jusqu’à deux ans avant d’abriter une colonie.
L’emplacement fait tout : installez le gîte près de l’eau, dans un secteur dégagé et ensoleillé, à la bonne hauteur (4,5 à 6 mètres). Les grands modèles se remplissent souvent plus vite une fois repérés, car ils offrent plusieurs espaces de repos. Dans le doute, un modèle plus grand augmente vos chances d’attirer les chauves-souris et de les garder.
Oui : ce sont des prédateurs d’insectes très efficaces. Une seule chauve-souris avale chaque nuit des milliers de moustiques et de ravageurs des cultures, sans le moindre produit chimique. Contrairement aux insecticides, qui peuvent toucher les pollinisateurs et la faune en général, les chauves-souris ne visent que les insectes et soutiennent la biodiversité.
Installer un gîte réduit la pression des insectes et aide à conserver des populations menacées par la disparition de leurs abris. Les grands gîtes favorisent par ailleurs des colonies plus nombreuses, donc un effet plus marqué sur votre terrain.
Amazing, we have Bats!! Took about 8 months and I about gave up but here we are! Had to take back the space from wasps a few times but finally won. Do your homework because these boxes need to be facing the right way and giving the bats access to water is important. We used a bird bath. Don’t give up just be patient and they will find your bat hotel. Good luck!
I put it up in my backyard unprotected a couple years ago and it still looks new. No bats, though.
Sturdy and can't wait for my bats to find it. It came with some damage (pictured) but I'm keeping it because I hate to waste AND when it's up high on my garage it's not noticeable. But still, bit of a bummer to receive damaged goods.
Put these houses east or south facing and plant native night blooming flowers nearby for happy bats 🥰 they love morning sun.
I was thinking about making one of these but for this price and the quality your just better off buying it pre made. I unfortunately have not been able to hang it yet but that's coming as soon as the snow melts! Comes with everything you need to hang it and the material/finish it spot on. You can't go wrong!
Well built, easy to install, will update when bats come.
Update:
6 weeks after installing I counted 14 bats in the house last evening. They come out pretty quick so it is hard to get a shot of them.
A reminder if you are planning in installing a bat house, the house must be facing East or West to work.
Great purchase, great build, great fun!
I hung this box in June 2022 after looking online for the best recommended bat box. I hung it on top of a flag pole facing south.
I never had any evidence of bats, but was giving them time. Everything I read said it can take a couple years for them to find it, and to try other locations after waiting.
This year (two years after hanging it), the woodpeckers found it. I just pulled it down with the intention of adding metal plates, but it just doesn't look like it is worth it with how much it's weathered, in addition to the woodpecker damage. I don't know if I'm supposed to take it down every year and repaint?
I could not be happier with this bat house. The first thing we noticed was the wonderful cedar smell as soon as we opened the box. The box is so well built and sturdy. The instructions were easy to read and install. We had to modify where the hardware had to be placed since we have a family of squirrels living right above where the box was placed. Every night for the past 3 years we’ve watched bats come out at dusk to get the bugs for the night. Nothing makes my family happier than to know we might have our own place for the bats soon!! Thanks for making this product for both us and the bats…
We were having our roof replaced. We had bats living in a space between the porch roof and house roof. The porch roof was being ripped off. A pest control expert recommended these houses, to give them somewhere to move to. I put it on the south facing wall of our house, a sunny location. I bought bat phermone/urine scent, and sprayed it and hung it up. Bats were living in it the next day (we could see their little bat poops on a white strip at the bottom of the wall under the bat-house). They seem to like it, so it's a win/win. We live in a forrest with lots of mosquitos, so we are glad the bats continue to be part of our yard's ecosystem. It was relatively easy to hang, strongly recommend.
Photo: The black bat house, on our south facing wall. Above it is an older bat house, that was never occupied. I think that's because it was too light colored, and we hung it too high up under the roof ledge; it was often in shade, and probably too cold for the bats. So we got the black house (to attract more heat) and hung it a little further down to get more sun.
We had bats in our attic. I mounted this thing before I sealed up their hole (after they left at night). A year later they seem to be returning and moving into their new house.
This was a challenge!
Box was fine, though a bit more roof protection ie tin or shi gle would have been nice.
Very well built.
Came with hardware to mount to a hoise, i would suggest adding hardware to mount to a pole as well.
After getting surprised by bats under our deck 1 morning. I started googling and decided to put 1 on a tree away from the house. Said its certified, but not the same as the internet says. Cedar is the key, but this is hard to tell. Also there are no vents, it maybe too hott in Ga. Mounting, brackets is our biggest complaint. I saw some with a hole in the bottom so we decided to drill 2 and use ext screws with washers to secure. Wood is thin so be careful not to overtighten. The L bracket will rust, paint is already coming off and its shiny. The screws are long so be careful where u put them, could injure a bat inside. We had to bend them for the tree. We live on lake so we have bugs! Now we wait to see if Dracula comes. Hope this works.
Right out of box noticed a crack across the top of box. Little disappointed for the price I paid. Other than that it is built better than other bat boxes that I have purchased.
Good product I like that it’s made out of cedar one recommendation is the screws are a little small other than that. Looks like a good product. Can’t wait for it to fill up with bats.
We just installed this bat house on a 20’ post, along with an older bat house that has had previous inhabitants. The new bat box from Amazon is great! Fantastic quality and easy to install. Hoping the bats find it soon.
Got your bat nursery , erected in April, saw my first bats exiting it last evening. Attractive product, well-built and easy to install. The bats and I are pleased. Onward and upward!
Not a big deal because I have a drill, but mine had no pre drilled holes. Feels well built though. And smells good.
Hoping to get some natural mosquito control by adding a bat house… I researched a long time and decided on this box and I’m glad I did.
Sturdy, well made high quality bat box! Super easy to install, looks cool too!!
I expected small and it’s smaller than I thought. Arrived well put together. Went right from the box to the tree. I appreciate the built in hanging hardware on the back. Now we wait for the bats.
Put this up a month or so ago to replace an old bat box that the roof had lifted on after a hurricane rolled through last year.
Looks like they are enjoying it thoroughly. There’s so many in there that they don’t care about how many it says it holds. Haha.
New to the bat world, so I purchased the BIGBATHOUSE because of all the good reviews. This is a solid built bat house made out of cedar wood. Now I am waiting for the bats to show up and give me their review!
Seems like a nice bat house, but I wish the method of mounting had been more clear. They send L brackets to attach to the outside of the bat house and the structure. Not very aesthetically pleasing to see the brackets. We figured out a different way.
