Use rough-cut cedar or use a saw to scratch up the surface. There’s no need to add non-biodegradable components except nails or screws

Is there a way for me to print out the bat house instructions? Every time I try, my phone gets hung up.

In reply to Stanley E. Yeates. I always read do NOT put screen inside. The rough cut cedar is enough for them to grab onto. OR run the inside across a bit.

The houses I have made in the past call for window screen inside on the back to give them something to grab onto. The houses should be mounted on a solid structure such as a house or shed. They do not like the motion of houses mounted on trees. I made 4 of these for our Lions Club property in Enfield Nova Scotia.

I’ve watched your video, very intuitive and easy to understand. But i have a question! What are the Bats to hang from ?

Hi Daris — Glad you enjoyed the bat house project. Best of luck getting bats! I put one out on my small shed, and they seem to like it. Of course, we live next to a huge open field so there’s lots of bat chow around here — they never go hungry.
