Bat house installation tips
Bat houses should be mounted in an area that gets 6-8 hours of direct sunlight (facing either East or South).

To the extent possible, locate all houses 20 to 30 feet from tree branches or other obstacles and 12 to 20 feet above ground (or above the tallest vegetation beneath the bat house).
