The Schwegler 1FQ Bat Roost is a meticulously engineered bat box designed to support a variety of bat species that inhabit buildings. Constructed from Schwegler's durable, breathable Woodcrete—a blend of wood, concrete, and clay—this bat box offers exceptional longevity, with a lifespan of up to 25 years, and provides excellent insulation against temperature fluctuations.
Internally, the 1FQ features three distinct roosting zones, offering varying light and temperature conditions to accommodate different bat preferences. The interior surfaces are roughened to facilitate climbing, and the entrance is designed as a step-like recess, allowing even inexperienced young bats to access the box safely. The bottom entrance also ensures that droppings fall out naturally, making the box maintenance-free.
This bat roost is particularly suitable for installation on external walls of buildings, including houses, barns, and other structures, making it an ideal choice for those looking to enhance biodiversity in built environments.
