Where do I mount the BATitat?

The solar aspect or the amount of sun exposure will depend on the geographic location or the climate where the BATitat is installed.  During breeding season, bats prefer temperatures between 80-100 degrees.  Therefore, it is recommended to mount the BATitat facing in a southerly direction with direct sun exposure for added warmth.  In addition, protection from predators, such as cats and raccoons, is also an important consideration when determining a location for the BATitat.  You should mount the BATitat 10-20 feet off the ground.

You may choose to mount the BATitat on the wall of a building.  The wall will act as a heat sink and protection from wind.  You may also choose to install the BATitat on a pole.  It may be acceptable to mount in a tree as long as the canopy does not block the sunshine.
