We begin with dual 4''x6'' treated posts for redundancy and strength against high winds and long term deterioration. The 5.5'' space between the posts is filled with hand-roughened roost baffles and airtight at the top.

Start small and add on modules as desired. This creates a \"bat condo\"-class structure using four of BCM's successful Universal bat houses. The dual posts easily support the additional weight and negligible additional wind load. This configuration may hold approximately ~920 bats, and is the least expensive, easiest to construct plan to approach the 1000 bat capacity that is ideal for watchable wildlife installations. Add two additional 4 Chamber Universal bat houses below the originals and overall capacity increases 210 bats per box.  Add another ~80 for a second center baffle cluster and total capacity approaches ~1500 bats. This is so many bats that they will continue emerging after it is too dark to see them! Two additional Universal bat houses on either side bring capacity to almost 2000. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it work?\u003c\/strong\u003e Bats often prefer roosting in larger structures, which can help buffer nighttime temperature extremes, as well as heat up faster in the morning. The Super Duplex Bat Roost provides this in both size, style, and most importantly, function. Biologists are considering multiple smaller bat house structures are better than one large \"condo\"-class structure. \u003cstrong\u003eA Super Duplex in Pennsylvania was occupied when checked 12 days after installation.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eThe Super Duplex is easier to install and is less costly. It is possible to install 3 or more Super Duplex configurations than one bat condo-class structure. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMultiple Duplex or other bat houses spread the bat colony out among many structures, providing a variety of microclimate options. Multiple roosts provide bats with parasite and predator avoidance options. Multiple smaller bat roosts allow bat families to break up and segregate as they see fit. If one structure is vandalized or collapses over time, the whole colony will not suddenly be at risk, but will occupy the other nearby structures until repairs made. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Shade Roof version.\u003c\/strong\u003e This model incorporates a shade roof for warm climates. The shade roof does not touch the actual roof of the bat houses. Bat houses receive heat from the sun in the morning and evening, but are shaded during the hottest part of the day. This design is highly successful in all the Gulf Coast states as well as low elevations in the West. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Standard Roof version.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e This configuration is for all but the hotter locations in the US and Canada. A brown aluminum roof is pressed over both bat houses (including the screws holding the bat house onto the structure), and the center roost cavity in the middle between the houses.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShade or Standard Roof and Mount Only version.\u003c\/strong\u003e This option is for those who already purchased 4 Chamber Universal bat houses and would like to construct the Super Duplex. The kit includes the mounts and roof assembly. You provide 4''x6''x16' treated posts. Note this kit is specifically for BCM 4 Chamber Universal bat houses.

It is possible to assemble the mounts, put the posts in place, then add the bat houses and roof \u003c\/span\u003eseparately using ladders, scaffolding, or a lift machine. However, the entire assembly can be assembled on the ground on sawhorses. Four people may lift the Super Duplex while several pull or winch with a rope as the base slides into the holes. The Super Duplex may also lean against a truck with an appropriate ladder rack, or lean on the bucket of a front end loader\/forklift, etc. to be pushed into place. The Super Duplex had been assembled and placed in as little as 2-3 hours in this way. \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBCM delivery, micro siting, and installation is available, please contact jchenger@batmanagement.com for a quote. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the difference between this and the regular Duplex?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Super Duplex bat house is supported by 2- 4''x6''x16' posts for redundancy. Because of this extra support, the Super Duplex may be expanded by adding perhaps 6 -more- Universal bat houses! This max configuration could house ~1840 bats and is ideal for long term watchable wildlife applications.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich color bat house is best for you?\u003c\/strong\u003e Because of the shade roof design, any color may be suitable for most regions, though we would probably lighter colors for the hottest environments.

Start small and add on modules as desired. This creates a \"bat condo\"-class structure using four of BCM's successful Universal bat houses. The dual posts easily support the additional weight and negligible additional wind load. This configuration may hold approximately ~920 bats, and is the least expensive, easiest to construct plan to approach the 1000 bat capacity that is ideal for watchable wildlife installations. Add two additional 4 Chamber Universal bat houses below the originals and overall capacity increases 210 bats per box.  Add another ~80 for a second center baffle cluster and total capacity approaches ~1500 bats. This is so many bats that they will continue emerging after it is too dark to see them!

Multiple roosts provide bats with parasite and predator avoidance options. Multiple smaller bat roosts allow bat families to break up and segregate as they see fit.

It is possible to assemble the mounts, put the posts in place, then add the bat houses and roof \u003c\/span\u003eseparately using ladders, scaffolding, or a lift machine. However, the entire assembly can be assembled on the ground on sawhorses. Four people may lift the Super Duplex while several pull or winch with a rope as the base slides into the holes. The Super Duplex may also lean against a truck with an appropriate ladder rack, or lean on the bucket of a front end loader\/forklift, etc. to be pushed into place. The Super Duplex had been assembled and placed in as little as 2-3 hours in this way. \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBCM delivery, micro siting, and installation is available, please contact jchenger@batmanagement.com for a quote. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the difference between this and the regular Duplex?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Super Duplex bat house is supported by 2- 4''x6''x16' posts for redundancy.

Rocket Roosts tend to attract small families of bats but of a wider range of species, whereas larger nursery bat houses tend to attract a large number of just a few species. Some bats prefer small roosts which end up being less obvious to predators and less prone to parasite overload. So, one bat roost does not fit all, and BCM Rocket Roosts are a great complement to nursery style bat houses especially on forest edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRocket boxes are highly successful and perform better than many other designs. \u003cstrong\u003eOur 4'' test units had big brown bats occupy in less than 10 days at one site, while at another location little brown bats were recorded the first time it was surveyed 45 days after installation.\u003c\/strong\u003e At one location, \u003cstrong\u003eour Super Rocket Roost had little brown bats occupying in approximately one month.\u003c\/strong\u003e Rocket Roosts are great\u003cspan\u003e for large mitigation projects were a number of long-term replacement roosts are necessary, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ewhile being far more cost effective than other solutions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e (1) 8'' diameter, 56'' tall Super Rocket Roost with heavy-duty plastic exterior and associated hardware.

The extra-wide 1.5'' crevice is suitable for big brown bats found across most of the country, Pallid bats in the West, and Florida bonneted bats in the south half of Florida.

Over the years we have modified the design and it is now evolved into a scaled down version of the highly successful, sturdy Bat Condo. Previously land managers on a budget but with a significant bat challenge could only install multiple houses to provide enough alternate habitat. For most folks five or ten separate bat houses on individual posts throughout the property is unrealistic.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"style221\"\u003eWe took the full size idea, scaled it down, and improved upon it. At 4' square and approximately 6' high at the peak, approximately 68 roost baffles create the core of the roost. Roof crevices create a \"triple layer roof\" where bats may roost against the inside of the roof-- perhaps the most valuable crevices available. The \"floor\" of the Mini Condo is a closed bottom that provides some protection for downed pups. The inside of the doors is coated with fiberglass for longevity and ease of guano dumping. The best bat entrances of the full size condo are preserved here, the entire sides of the Mini Condo form a gigantic landing plate for bats to land and enter under the eves. As with our smaller house designs, the bottom third of the Mini Condo is vented to assure a temperature gradient.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"style221\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/127329347\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"\" mozallowfullscreen=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"style221\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"style88\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBecause a Mini Condo uses stand off bases so the posts do not directly contact the ground, on the first visit we will help you site the bat house and then install the foundation. A few days must pass for the foundation to set. If the installation site is accessible by truck, we will install a mostly assembled Mini Condo using a crane. We usually build the Mini Condo in one or two major sections at our shop, then finish assembly onsite, adding baffles, siding, and trim before finally painting.

As with our smaller house designs, the bottom third of the Mini Condo is vented to assure a temperature gradient.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"style221\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/127329347\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"\" mozallowfullscreen=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"style221\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"style88\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBecause a Mini Condo uses stand off bases so the posts do not directly contact the ground, on the first visit we will help you site the bat house and then install the foundation.
