BatBnB Manuals & User Guides

BatBnB is a line of designer bat houses endorsed by leading bat biologists and conservationists. Founded to combat the decline in bat populations and provide a natural solution to backyard pest control, BatBnB offers high-quality, dual-chamber structures made from sustainably sourced American cedar. These bat houses are designed to mimic natural roosting environments, featuring interior grooves and ventilation to ensure the safety and comfort of the animals.

By installing a BatBnB, homeowners help support local ecosystems while benefiting from the pest-eating capabilities of bats. The company emphasizes education and safety, guiding users on proper placement to maximize occupancy rates. Developed by Point Line Plane LLC, BatBnB combines architectural aesthetics with wildlife functionality.

• Where is the best place to mount a BatBnB?

  The best location is on a post or the side of a building (house, barn, or shed) at least 10-12 feet off the ground. The unit should receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.

• How long does it take for bats to move in?

  Occupancy can take time. It typically takes anywhere from 6 months to 2 years for bats to discover and inhabit a new bat house. Patience and proper placement are key.

• Does the bat house require maintenance?

  Generally, no. However, you may choose to lightly sand and repaint the exterior every few years if the color fades due to UV exposure. This is best done in winter when no bats are present.

• Are BatBnBs safe to have in the yard?

  Yes. Bats are excellent for pest control, eating thousands of insects per hour. It is important never to touch or handle bats directly; they are wild animals and should be treated with respect.
