Eco-Designed Bat House – A Nearby Shelter & Refuge

This bat house has been specially designed to meet the specific needs of these precious nocturnal mammals, essential to the balance of our ecosystems and natural allies on summer evenings.

Designed and made in France (Brittany), this watertight, durable shelter provides a reliable refuge for colonies of up to 20 bats. It offers an ideal resting place, especially during the breeding season and the spring and autumn transition periods.

Why choose our bat house?
• Rot-proof & durable material: Made from a high-strength polymer that resists UV rays and harsh weather, this shelter will not warp, is resistant to frost and moisture, and requires no harmful chemical treatments.

• Hygienic & healthy refuge: Unlike wood, which can retain moisture or develop mold over time, its surface is easy to clean and provides a healthy environment for colonies.

• Insulation & comfort: Its honeycomb design provides excellent thermal insulation to protect bats from temperature fluctuations.

• Made in France: A responsible choice that supports local craftsmanship and keeps its carbon footprint in check.

Did you know?
Bats use echolocation (the emission of ultrasound) to navigate and hunt in the dark. Thanks to this incredible ability, they can detect a wire just 0.1 mm in diameter from 10 meters away! A single bat can eat up to 3,000 insects (including many mosquitoes) in a single night.

Protect biodiversity in your garden
In France, all bat species are protected by law because their natural habitats are in decline. By installing this shelter in your garden, you can actively help preserve local biodiversity while naturally controlling populations of harmful insects.

Installation & use tips
Height: Mount the bat house at least 3 meters high (ideally between 3 and 6 meters) on a wall, a mature tree, or beneath a roof overhang.

Exposure: Choose a sunny location (receiving 4 to 6 hours of sunshine a day), facing south, southeast, or southwest, and well sheltered from prevailing winds.

Quiet: Install it in a quiet spot, away from frequent foot traffic, noise, and any direct lighting (streetlights, floodlights).

Easy, adaptable installation:
Designed to blend easily into your outdoor space, the L’Écho shelter offers two mounting options to suit your needs:

On a wall or beneath a roof overhang: With its 4 pre-drilled holes, it can be securely attached directly to any type of exterior wall (wood, render, stone) using screws suited to the surface (not included).

On a tree (Strap option): If you want to install it on a tree trunk without damaging the bark or hindering the tree’s growth, choose our adjustable mounting strap, available as an option. It provides a secure, stable fit at the recommended height.

Material:
All my creations are designed and manufactured by me using PETG, a durable material – more modern than wood!

• Durable: resists sun, rain, and frost without damage.
• Hygienic: easy to clean, no mold or parasites.
• Design: lightweight, strong, and aesthetic, with a modern style.

I chose to make my creations from PETG because, unlike PLA (which some sellers use), PETG perfectly withstands climatic conditions such as humidity, heat, UV rays, and frost...

Ultra-resistant outdoors: Fears neither frost, rain, nor summer sun (unlike PLA, which deforms in heat).

Healthy & hygienic for wildlife: Smooth and non-porous surface, ultra-easy to wipe clean to prevent disease transmission.

Professional durability: A technical and unbreakable material designed to stay outdoors all year round, season after season.

Zero maintenance: No need for varnish, stain, or chemical treatments toxic to birds.

The electricity for manufacturing is supplied by solar panels during the day and by decarbonized energy for the rest of the time!

Have a question?

The L'Écho bat house serves two essential purposes:

A vital shelter for biodiversity: It provides bats with a safe, warm and waterproof place to rest during the day, raise their young in spring or stop over on their travels. As natural roosting sites become increasingly rare, this shelter helps protect these beneficial, fully protected species.

Natural mosquito control for your garden: By welcoming bats into your garden, you gain a wonderful eco-friendly ally for summer evenings. A single bat can devour up to 3,000 mosquitoes and other nuisance insects in one night!

It’s a simple, lasting way to support local wildlife while enjoying your outdoor space in peace.

The L'Écho shelter was designed for simple, sturdy and versatile installation, adapting to any outdoor setup:

Wall or under-eaves mounting (recommended): Its pre-drilled mounting holes let you securely attach it to a wood, stone or rendered façade using 4 screws suited to your surface (not included).

Mounting on a mature tree (without harming it): If you prefer to install it on a tree trunk, we recommend using our adjustable mounting strap (available as an optional extra). It holds the shelter firmly at the ideal height (3 to 6 metres) without damaging the tree’s bark or restricting its growth.

The L’Écho roost is specially designed to accommodate so-called “crevice-dwelling” species—that is, those that naturally seek out narrow gaps (in tree bark, small rock crevices or under roofs):

The Common Pipistrelle (and Kuhl’s Pipistrelle): By far the most frequent guest in our gardens! This tiny bat (about the size of a thumb) loves to roost in colonies in this kind of snug, warm shelter.

Whiskered Bats and other small Myotis bats: Often spotted in garden sheds and along forest edges.

The Noctule or Leisler’s Bat: These slightly larger species may use it as a stopover roost during migration or seasonal movements.

The Western Barbastelle: A secretive woodland species that particularly favours flat, secure entrances.

To maximize the chances of occupancy and ensure your guests’ well-being, follow these few guidelines when choosing a location:

Ideal height: Place the bat house at least 3 metres above the ground (ideally between 3 and 6 metres) to keep bats out of reach of ground predators such as cats.

Orientation: Choose a south, south-east or south-west facing position. Bats love warmth and sunshine to heat their roost during the day.

Peace and darkness: Install it in a quiet spot, away from regular foot traffic and sources of noise. Above all, make sure it is away from any direct lighting (streetlights, floodlights or torchlight), as bats avoid bright light.

Clear access: Make sure the entrance/slot at the bottom is clear of branches and other obstacles, so they can take off and land easily.

The L'Écho roost is used all year round, but its role changes with the seasons:

Spring and summer (key period): From April to September, bats actively use it as a daytime resting place, as well as a maternity roost where they give birth and raise their young.

Autumn (transition period): In September and October, it serves as a strategic stopover during their travels and a gathering place before hibernation.

Winter: Bats generally move to deeper caves or cellars to hibernate, but the roost can remain in place without risk of damage thanks to its frost-resistant material.

💡 Our tip: Ideally, install your bat house in late winter or early spring (February–March). That way, bats can spot it as soon as they wake from hibernation! If you install it later, don’t worry: they’ll just need a little time to find it and make it their home.
