Researching bat houses since 1990, BCM has designed a low cost, long lasting bat roost with updated features perfect for any backyard! Our one-piece, UV-resistant resin outer shell will outlast any unmaintained all-wood bat house on the market; no painting required.
Each ColonyCabin ships finished, with all interior surfaces permanently roughened by hand in random directions and depths for the best "bat-holds" possible. We do not use screen material for baffles, which can shred over time and may trap bat pups. Our decorative bat design on the front serves as a vent in addition to three vents on the rear. Besides providing a desirable temperature gradient from a very hot roof to ambient, bats can exit the back onto a Perch Panel included in the mount kit, or pass into other ColonyCabins or the BCM bat houses on the same post when installed back-to-back.
- Highly durable UV-resistant weatherproof body- no fasteners penetrate the shell!
- Custom bat-shaped front vent and rear vents for air-transfer
- Rear exit vent allows bats to cool off on a Perch Panel, included with all Mount Kits.
- Available in 4 colors (Black, Tan, Dark Green, and Dark Brown)
- Seamless exterior recycled resin shell, significantly outlasts any wooden bat house
- Suitable for at least 14 North American bat species
- Special interior Attic Ledges favored by pups
- Self-cleaning; all droppings fall out naturally
- 10 year warranty against the exterior cracking or splitting due to normal weathering
- Installation available in PA and surrounding states; request a quote
Terry Lobdell, bat house experimenter with nearly three decades of experience adds: "Probably my favorite feature of BCM’s bat houses is the plastic UV resistant outer shell. This type of exterior has many advantages:
-It’s virtually indestructible and should last decades.
-It increases early morning heat gain and holds heat better at night.
-Proper ventilation features to eliminate overheating during hot weather.
-It’s woodpecker resistant. Woodpeckers can make short work of a bat house with a wood exterior. I cover all my bat house exteriors with metal or plastic for this reason. BCM bat houses with the plastic exterior shells eliminate the potential for woodpecker damage from the start."
Which color bat house is best for you? Select black, brown, or green for most northern states and high elevations. Select tan for warmer climates such as all the Gulf Coast states and low elevation/desert of AZ, NM, and CA. Please refer to our online manuals which will assist you with site determination, installation, and long-term maintenance tips. Actual colors may differ slightly than what is depicted online.
