The Bat House Guide

The Bat House Guide combines the wisdom of America’s most experienced bat house pioneers and innovative builders worldwide. It is the definitive resource for bat house information. Coauthors Dr. Merlin Tuttle and Danielle Cordani share their findings from surveys of thousands of houses, explaining conflicting results and opinions, and suggesting areas for further experimentation.

Guided by dazzling photographs, readers will not only discover bat houses from all over the world but learn how to construct and mount their very own. The book also includes builder’s plans, key criteria for success, novel options, suggestions for experimentation, and frequently asked questions. And if you achieve exceptional success, or even unexplained failure, let the authors hear from you at MerlinTuttle.org. Most of all, enjoy your bats and share your experiences with friends and neighbors!
