MIXXIDEA Cedar Bat House Double-Chamber Outdoor Bat Box — 11 x 3.5 x 15 in, Weather-Resistant, Easy to Install

MIXXIDEA's double-chamber cedar bat house is a weather-resistant, easy-to-install outdoor roost designed to shelter small bat colonies year-round.

This handcrafted cedar bat box creates a snug, protected nesting space for bats while blending into yards, trees, or on building exteriors. Built with two internal chambers, carved grooves for gripping, and durable exterior panels, the design balances insulation, ventilation, and accessibility. At 11 x 3.5 x 15 inches it’s sized for small colonies and migratory visitors and is simple to mount with the included screw locations.

How does the double-chamber layout help bats find shelter?

The twin compartments give bats multiple micro-roost options so populations can redistribute by temperature and occupancy. Narrow internal spaces conserve heat in cool weather and provide escape niches from predators while the grooved surfaces let bats climb and cling easily.

• Two independent chambers for flexible roosting choices
• Interior grooves support secure gripping and movement
• Narrow dimensions help moderate internal temperatures
• Suitable for small colonies and individual bats

What makes the cedar construction weather resistant and durable?

Cedar naturally resists rot and insect damage, giving outdoor shelters longer service life without chemical treatment. The MIXXIDEA bat house uses solid cedar panels and a snug build to shed rain and stand up to seasonal changes while maintaining a breathable interior.

• Handcrafted cedar resists moisture and decay
• Tight seams limit drafts while allowing subtle ventilation
• Exterior finish tolerates sun and rain exposure
• Low-maintenance wood that ages gracefully outdoors

How easy is installation and where should I mount it?

Installation is straightforward: line up the pre-marked mounting points, drive screws and hang the box at the chosen location. For best results mount 10–20 feet high on a building or pole in a sun-facing spot with clear flight paths and minimal nearby foliage obstruction.

• Pre-marked screw locations for quick attachment
• Best mounted on a building, pole, or tree 10–20 feet high
• Preferably facing southeast to capture morning sun
• Place near water or open areas to increase attraction

Will this bat house attract specific bat species or unclutter my garden?

While species vary by region, small insectivorous bats commonly use narrow, multi-chamber roosts like this one to raise young and rest. By providing a dedicated roost, you can encourage natural pest control from local bat populations without altering garden plants or structures.

• Designed for small, common colony sizes
• Helps support local bat activity and insect predation
• Noninvasive: offers a separate roosting option away from buildings
• No chemicals or attractants required—placement matters more

Who is this for? The MIXXIDEA cedar double-chamber bat house suits homeowners, gardeners, property managers, and conservation-minded residents who want a low-maintenance, natural shelter for local bats. It’s ideal for anyone seeking a compact, durable roost that’s simple to mount and built to support small bat groups while blending into outdoor spaces.
