Large-Capacity Artificial Roost for Cavity-Roosting Bat Species

The Eire Ecology Cavity-Chambered Rocket Bat Roost has been developed to provide long-term roosting opportunities for bat species that naturally utilise cavities within mature trees and large structures. Designed and manufactured in Ireland by practising bat ecologists, this innovative roost combines a spacious upper cavity chamber with a lower double-chamber roosting system, creating a range of roosting conditions within a single structure. The enlarged upper cavity provides a sheltered space where bats can cluster and roost within a large internal void, while the lower chamber system provides additional roosting opportunities and allows bats to exploit different microclimates throughout changing weather conditions and seasons. The result is a versatile artificial roost designed to replicate the variety of spaces available within naturally decaying veteran trees.
