With an increase in development of new sites and redevelopment of older buildings particularly those in more rural areas, availability of roost sites for our bat species is becoming more limited. With thoughtful planning bats can be encouraged to remain at old sites or even colonise new sites by the introduction of species specific eco-friendly building products such as the Terca/EcoSurv Bat Box, as featured on the Bat Conservation Trust website, which creates a new habitat or enhances existing habitats enabling bats to roost, breed and hibernate.

The Terca/EcoSurv Bat Box can also help towards gaining the credits on offer to meet the requirements of the Ecology Category of the Code for Sustainable Homes.

The Bat Box has been specifically designed to be incorporated into the fabric of the building and to encourage the use by species such as Pipistrelle, Natterer’s, Whiskered and Brandt’s which are most commonly found roosting in buildings. It can also be open at the rear allowing access into existing cavities or roof spaces of older buildings for species such as Brown Long Eared bats. If required, they can also be joined side by side to increase the bats roosting space.

The facing of the Bat Box can be manufactured to match any existing brick in the Wienerberger range or complement stonework and uses partly recycled materials.
