Bats are nocturnal animals and rest during the day in old tree cavities, rotten knotholes, and other secret hiding spots on and in trees. However, since old, ailing trees are cut down fairly quickly these days, it is becoming increasingly difficult for bats to find a suitable place. Deep sleep is absolutely essential for their survival.
What many people don't know… You can also build a small shelter for bats, similar to a bird house. So you can give the bats back their important habitat. As you can see in the video by DIY simply creative, such a bat box is quickly built. All you need is some wood, some screws and you're good to go.
Important Hanging Tips
As mentioned above, it is extremely important that the bats have their rest during the day. Be sure to hang up the bat box in a noise-protected place. The optimal height is about three to five meters and should be accessible for the bats without obstacles such as branches and leaves. Also make sure that the box is not exposed to direct sunlight. Too cool and windy place is also not recommended.
