Welcome one of nature’s most fascinating night-time visitors to your garden.

Bats are an essential part of Ireland’s ecosystem and one of the most effective forms of natural pest control — a single bat can eat up to 3,000 mosquitoes, moths, and beetles in a single night.

As modern homes and buildings become more insulated, natural roosting spaces for bats have become increasingly scarce. This wooden bat box provides smaller Irish bat species with a safe, comfortable place to rest, roost, and shelter.

The interior features grooved wooden panels that help bats land and grip easily, while the two strong suspension hooks allow for quick, secure installation on an exterior wall, shed, or tree trunk. Crafted from FSC-certified pinewood with a zinc roof, it’s built to withstand Ireland’s variable weather for years to come.
