The Bat House Builder's Handbook

About this book

Since 1994, The Bat House Builder's Handbook has been the definitive source for bat house information. The 2020 version is an unmodified reprint of the second edition published in 2013 which, at the time, had been completely revised to incorporate the latest research on improving the success rates for bat houses. It updates the original bat house plans and includes a new "rocket box" design, along with mounting suggestions, tips for experimentation, frequently asked bat house questions, and information about bats most likely to use bat houses.
