Micro bat box Installation Tips
1) Installation Height: Whatever you feel like.
2) Orientation: Spin the compass.
3) Air space below box. Yep, need it.
4) Reasonably quiet location. They love Mozart.
5) Location: Anywhere around your place
6) Inspection. Don’t shine a torch up there.
7) Arrival: Pray to God.
Have fun

Have seen microbats, intend putting up nest boxes.
Are they territorial & what spacing between boxes?

Hi Ken,
Micro bats aren’t territorial. In fact, several species can share the same box. Even huntsman spiders and geckos share the same space. They could teach us a thing or two how to live together. Put up more than one box. They like to move between boxes. Keeps the predators guessing???
Have fun.
We have just made and placed our micro bat box. Very exciting. Thanks so much for the information.
