Bat houses, mating, and gestation period

Did you know bats will mate prior to winter hibernation and when the females arise in the spring, the gestation period of 50-60 days begins?

The most active time for mating in North America is August, and they are quite the promiscuous mammal!

If you'd like to assist bats by providing a bat house we have a large selection of shapes and sizes.  One of the most important requirements for a successful bat house is the location; it must be exposed to seven or so hours of sunlight to heat the interior of the house.

Our bat houses include literature explaining the bat's natural ability to help control the insect population.
