Description Bats are a sort of ‘bug police’: they fly around and catch insects using a process called echolocation to find their insect meals. They make high-pitched sounds that bounce off objects and return to the bat as echoes. Bats in flight can distinguish the difference in sound between a tree, your head, and a mosquito! They reduce pests naturally, reducing the need for pesticide usage and thereby helping to make our water and earth cleaner. Rocket bat hotels provide suitable roosting and breeding sites for various insect-eating bat species. This bat hotel is mounted on a gum pole and, if possible, close to the water’s edge to allow bats to control your insect populations. These bat boxes can be mounted again the side of the house under the eaves or installed on a gum pole. The gum pole is an additional cost of R290.00. Dimensions: 95cm x 55cm x 25cm Weight: 15kg
