Bat House Zones

A bat zone is what is used to distinguish what type of bat house design is best suited for your area. The lower 48 states are broken down into 4 zones. These bat zones determine bat house color, and if it should be vented or not. It also determines where and how much direct sun light (which way it should face) your bat house should receive. When purchasing a bat house it is important to pay attention to bat house placement where you are located to ensure you purchase the right design for your area. See the map located below.
