| Re: Bat Sanctuary
It certainly seems to, there have been no bird nests at all in the bat boxes since we put them up. The main issue seems to be the long term viability of the wooden bird boxes, as they are unlikely to last as long as the woodcrete bat ones.
Another point for the OP would be that unless someone is able to monitor the boxes regularly (at least yearly, needs a licence), you might like to pick a self cleaning design such as the Schwegler 1FF (although if you are planning check them, it is a pain to get bats out of these without them escaping!) or a self cleaning wooden design.
Otherwise, the boxes can quickly fill up with birds nests, or bat droppings, making the box unusable.
Have fun - Toby.
