Download our general manual on siting any bat house: All About Bat Houses Download our ColonyCondo specific bat house manual

BCM has designed a relatively low cost, long lasting bat roost with features based on 30+ years of observation, perfect for any backyard! Our one-piece, UV-resistant resin outer shell will outlast any unmaintained all-wood bat house on the market; no painting required. The ColonyCondo is ideal for sites where a bat colony is already established, where long term mitigation is desired, or as a building block to form larger structures such as a Super Duplex, or a 2x2 or 3x3 Modular Condo.

If you are just trying to -start- a colony of bats, we recommend trying several ColonyCabins or DayLodges in different areas around your property, with varying degrees of solar exposure until bats take hold. Direct morning sun is critical. But if you already have bats roosting onsite or in the neighborhood, bigger is better with bat houses, and the ColonyCondo is the largest single bat house BCM sells, but is still manageable for installation with simple tools and a few extra hands

Each ColonyCondo ships finished, with all interior surfaces permanently roughened by hand in random directions for the best "bat-holds" possible. We do not use screen material for baffles, which can shred over time and may trap bat pups, or simple horizontal grooves. Our decorative bat design on the front serves as a vent in addition to up to 8 vents on the rear. Besides providing a desirable temperature gradient from a very hot roof to ambient, bats can exit the back onto a Perch Panel included in the mount kit, or pass into other ColonyCondos on the same post.

Which color bat house is best for you? Select black, brown, or green for most northern states and high elevations. Select tan for warmer climates such as all the Gulf Coast states and low elevation/desert of AZ, NM, and CA. Please refer to our online manuals which will assist you with site determination, installation, and long-term maintenance tips. Actual colors may differ slightly than what is depicted online.

  • Rear exit vents allows bats to cool off on a Perch Panel, included with all Mount Kits.
  • Available in 4 colors (Black, Tan, Dark Green, and Dark Brown)
  • Seamless exterior recycled resin shell, significantly outlasts any wooden bat house

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask BCM a Question

  • I have a neighbor, he has a LED dusk to dawn light in his driveway, where I want to set my pole for my bat house is about 55 to 60 feet from his light, I am planning on putting the bottom of the house about 18 feet from the ground. The back of the bat house will be facing the light. Do you think this will cause the bats not to take to the house in this location? Due to the light or will this light not bother them. We have lots of bats in the neighborhood. I live on the Texas Gulf Coast. I am going to buy your 5 chamber ColonyCondo bat house. Thanks in advance.

    Being in the light is not a deal killer, but there has been recent work showing myotis-type bats distinctly avoiding brightly-lit areas. Your local Mexican free tail bats may not care so much, but it's going to be best to keep the bat house away from light as possible. -JC

  • Hello, I am trying to give the bats residing in my attic a place to roost once my attic is renovated and sealed (hopefully). My house is block, but the previous owners found it to be too cold and not insulated, so they framed the outside and installed vinyl siding. So I am unsure where to place these boxes, since siding was kind of not recommended. I'm in PA, north west. I have a barn that I can also install houses on and I can install a post. Should I place the boxes on the house to attract them to it? Can I move them away from the house and onto a pole after they establish, to get them away from the house?

    Any of our Colony-series bat houses can be mounted on siding; the mount kit provides plenty of landing area even if you're mounting on vinyl siding. Mounting on a building that is being closed up for bats almost guarantees the bat house will be used. Install it close to the existing entrances. Bat houses can be moved off the building after a few seasons and bats will probably continue to use it. Barns are great for mounting bat houses on as well; you might consider the more economical DayLodge bat house and install on a couple side of the barn; more options=more likely bats will use one. Please see our All About Bat Houses manual here for more ideas: https://batmanagement.com/pages/manuals

  • What color bat house for central North Carolina?

    Hi there- any dark shade of any color will do. If choosing from our Colony- bat house series, any of the colors -except- the lighter tan is fine. 

  • I have bats living somewhere in my roof or attic. I believe there are quite a few because I hear them at night. I also see they’re on the ground. I had my skylights cleaned the other day and three baby bats flew out. So that means there’s more than one mom. Anyway, my question is since I already have what I believe to be quite a few I am wondering if the five chambered one would be the best one to use. And how do I entice them to leave my attic roof and move in. I live in Lompoc, California, and they are here pretty much all year as we never get really cold. Thank you for any help with my situation. Also, I’m starting to get flies in the house all the time so I know that they’re living up there or at least I think that’s an indication of them living in the attic. Thank you.

    Our bat houses are quite successful in your situation; just install near where you see them exiting the building. A couple sides of the building is even better. Flies and insects are getting in because of season changes and the crevices are available. They don't have anything to do with bats. The fix is the same for all of them; systematically sealing up the crevices. There's some info here with 4 articles starting here: https://batmanagement.com/blogs/bat-exclusion-control/bats-in-buildings

  • Hello, I am looking to find some estimates on costs for custom bat condos/hotels. I am thinking very large, like the giant condos on stilts that are like tree houses (see here: https://www.nps.gov/neri/learn/nature/grandview-bat-condo.htm). Is this something you all have experience with or possibly have an idea on how much one might cost to build and install? For context, I am currently working on a rough budget for a potential long-term research project. Thank you for your insights!

    BCM used to build those condos- the uncredited photo of the baffles in that link is by BCM's John Chenger. We no longer advise building that type of structure. Smaller, modular bat houses heat up faster and are used more often than the large Condo. Multiple roosts is far better than 1 large one, to protect against disasters, vandalism, and predators. You can install multiple (such as 6+) 3x3 Modular Condos for less than one old-style Condo. If you want to explore the old-school condo more, search for "pa game commission bat condo plans". I would expect the raw materials to be ~$7k and require 1 week labor in a woodshop, and 1 week assembly onsite. In contrast, our Modular Condos are installed in a few hours.
