Hello All!

We just received a beautiful bat box as a gift.  There is already an established colony living about 100 yards away from where we would like to mount it.  Is this too close for comfort for the pre-existing colony?  The location we have picked is (unfortunately) the only location available on our property suitable for a bat house.

Thank you for any information!

Welcome! There is no such thing as too close...........the closer you are to an existing colony, the quicker you will get bats roosting in your new box.
