Read All Reviews Below
The 1MF contains two nesting chambers for Swifts, each with its own entrance, allowing two pairs to breed and successfully raise their young separately from each other but in the same box.
In addition a recess in the rear panel creates a space between the wall of the building and box, making it ideal for bats that inhabit buildings, such as the Pipistrelle.
Siting & positioning:
High up on external walls of buildings of all kinds, including churches and industrial buildings. A clear distance (drop) below the box is recommended, preferably 5 m or more.
A specially shaped galvanised metal mounting plate supplied is screwed to an external wall of the building, from which the box is then hung.
Cleaning and inspection:
By turning the safety catch, each front panel can be removed to allow easy cleaning. The bat recess at the rear requires no maintenance because droppings simply fall out.
