Biologists are considering multiple smaller bat house structures are better than one large \"condo\"-class structure.  \u003c\/span\u003eMultiple bat houses spread the bat colony out among many structures, providing a variety of isolated microclimate options. Multiple roosts offer bats 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 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA Super Duplex in Pennsylvania was occupied when checked 12 days after installation.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt is possible to install 3 or more Super Duplex configurations than one traditional large one-off \"bat condo\"-class structure.\u003c\/em\u003e We no longer recommend building \"super sized\" bat condos; too many animals in one place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Super Duplex is a significant structure, but by far the easiest and least expensive of any artificial bat roost available of similar capacity. 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 \u0026amp; push the Super Duplex while several pull or winch with a rope as the base slides into the holes. We typically lean the Super Duplex against a truck with an appropriate contractor ladder rack, or lean on the bucket of a front end loader\/forklift, etc. to be pushed into place. Assembly can be as little as a few hours; we have built\/installed 3 in a single day. \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\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich color bat house is best for you?\u003c\/strong\u003e Both dark brown and our tan color has been successful in mid-FL and TX. Definitely select a black or dark green or dark brown for most northern states and high elevations, or tan for warmer climates most of Florida and desert).

They can also heat up faster in the morning. Years ago BCM assisted developing Bat Condos ranging from 4'x4' up to an impressive 16'x16' that contains tens of thousands of bats. Now our biologists consider multiple smaller bat house structures are much better than one large \"condo\"-class structure. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMultiple 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. Multiple smaller roosts can be placed in slightly different areas in a wildlife management area, with different color configurations, and the bats are more likely to find one the suits them. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhat about costs and installation hassle?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Modular Condo is easier to install and is less costly than competing designs with similar capacity.\u003ci\u003e It is possible to install multiple Modular Condos for the same cost as just one \"bat condo\"-class structure. \u003c\/i\u003eIn addition, our modular design breaks down into boxes that can be shipped UPS, and installed without heavy equipment if necessary.

They can also heat up faster in the morning. Years ago BCM assisted developing Bat Condos ranging from 4'x4' up to an impressive 16'x16' that contains tens of thousands of bats. Now our biologists consider multiple smaller bat house structures are much better than one large \"condo\"-class structure. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMultiple 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. Multiple smaller roosts can be placed in slightly different areas in a wildlife management area, with different color configurations, and the bats are more likely to find one the suits them. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhat about costs and installation hassle?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Modular Condo is easier to install and is less costly than competing designs with similar capacity.\u003ci\u003e It is possible to install multiple Modular Condos for the same cost as just one \"bat condo\"-class structure. \u003c\/i\u003eIn addition, our modular design breaks down into boxes that can be shipped UPS, and installed without heavy equipment if necessary.

However, the entire assembly is best assembled on the ground on sawhorses.

Now our biologists consider multiple smaller bat house structures are much better than one large \"condo\"-class structure. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMultiple 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. Multiple smaller roosts can be placed in slightly different areas in a wildlife management area, with different color configurations, and the bats are more likely to find one the suits them. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhat about costs and installation hassle?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Modular Condo is easier to install and is less costly than competing designs with similar capacity.\u003ci\u003e It is possible to install multiple Modular Condos for the same cost as just one \"bat condo\"-class structure. \u003c\/i\u003eIn addition, our modular design breaks down into boxes that can be shipped UPS, and installed without heavy equipment if necessary.

Our Rocket Core mimics a dead tree with both \"wedge\" roost crevices and more traditional vertical baffles.

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.

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.

Our Rocket Core mimics a dead tree with both \"wedge\" roost crevices and more traditional vertical baffles. This is a great choice in forest environments suitable for small colonies of a wide range of species. A 1\/8'' thick heavy-duty custom outdoor UV-resistant plastic shell protects the roost for a no maintenance roost\u003cstrong\u003e. \u003c\/strong\u003e The larger mass of the Super Rocket Roost retains heat longer into the night and provides more roost crevices for more bats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BCM Rocket Roost is intended to be added to an existing 4''x6''x16' treated post. Bats may land on, but never roost against the treated post. F\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eor warm climates consider installing in part (afternoon) or full shade. As with all bat houses, multiple location or roost designs can increase the chances of occupancy. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to \"White Nose Syndrome\" that has killed millions of bats in North America, the landscape of the bat population has changed. 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.
