Free Info Bat Houses Laura conducted an intensive study of bat house use in Central Florida from 1993-1997. This study involved the comparison of temperatures in a variety of designs and treatments of bat houses and temperatures in building roosts. Cedar is not used due to the odor that may deter bats until the wood has aged.
Additional chambers provide bats with the needed variety of thermal conditions.
Research shows bat houses that are caulked and painted are more likely to be occupied than bare wood bat houses.
