Schwegler 1FD Bat Box

£105.99
£105.99

The Schwegler 1FD bat box has been developed specifically for smaller bats.

The interior and the type and size of the entrance hole match the requirements of the smaller species.
It features a special layout inside, the domed roof with increased interior height and two grooved internal wooden front panels with precise spacing between them.

This model has proved highly effective as a nursing area for these highly sociable animals.

Siting & positioning:
Place at a height of between 3 and 6 metres on trees and as high as possible (close to the eaves for additional shelter from the weather) on buildings.

Ensure a clear, unobstructed approach/entry path. Bats like warmth so boxes should be south, southeast or southwest facing to ensure exposure to the sun for part of the day.

Bats are nocturnal and adapted to low light conditions. Artificial light sources should not be directed either on to the box or the approach/entry path to the box.

Cleaning and inspection:
Easy Cleaning and inspection due to removable front panel

Entrance hole:
Slotted hole

Occupants:
Small bats such as the Common Pipistrelle (Pipistrellus pipistrellus), Nathusius Pipistrelle (Pipistrellus nathusii), Daubenton`s Bat (Myotis daubentonii) and Common Long-eared bat (Plecotus auritus), possibly also Pond Bat (Myotis dasycneme).

Air-permeable and longlasting SCHWEGLER wood-concrete

Helpful – Caring – Responsible

When Sean McMenemy started Noah’s Ark Wildlife Gardens as a landscaping business back in 1991, little did he know what a huge impact he was to make on the bird feeding and garden wildlife industries over the following decades.

Over 30-years later he still brings the same passion for garden wildlife to work every day, so it’s no wonder we’re so highly respected. Our expertise lies in providing carefully selected natural food and products that offer significant benefits to wildlife – with the type of customer service only true enthusiasm for our subject can bring.

Meeting a demand for natural, nutritious wildlife food

In those early days, Sean constantly received requests for help in making his clients’ natural gardens more wildlife friendly. Requests for bird food encouraged Sean to research bird feeding, and at that time he found problems in the market with quality and service. He knew then the only way forward was to create his own natural, nutritious range of wildlife food and present it in a way which benefited both the wildlife and the customer. Ark Wildlife was born.

The company has steadily grown since those early days, now standing as one of the UK’s largest independent suppliers of bird food and garden wildlife products, despatching over 500 parcels per day across the United Kingdom.

Exceptional service, because we care more than we can put into words

No matter how large our business is now, Ark Wildlife aims to combine the convenience of an online mail order outlet with the caring, helpful touch of a specialist shop. Our people make the difference. We take great pride in the energy, commitment and enthusiasm of our ever-growing workforce, still led by our inspirational driving force, Sean. If you read through some of Sean’s blog posts you will see how knowledgeable he is and how much he cares for the welfare of our wildlife.
