The Schwegler 1FD Bat Box is a meticulously designed habitat tailored to support small bat species such as Pipistrelles, Nathusius’ Pipistrelle, Daubenton’s, and Long-Eared Bats. Constructed from Schwegler's durable Woodcrete material—a blend of wood, concrete, and clay—this bat box offers exceptional longevity, with a lifespan of up to 25 years, and provides excellent insulation against temperature fluctuations. Its triple-layered front panel, featuring double, corrugated wooden boards with optimal spacing, creates an inviting environment that closely mimics natural roosting sites, encouraging bats to establish maternity colonies.

The 1FD Bat Box is particularly effective in mixed bat zones and serves as an essential tool for initial settlement efforts. Its design deters larger species and predators, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for smaller bats. The removable front panel allows for easy inspection and maintenance, making it a practical choice for conservation projects and biodiversity initiatives.
