It is illegal for any member of the public to disturb a roost, handle or kill any bat. Bat boxes, therefore, must only be inspected by licensed bat workers. However, you can monitor your bat box without disturbance by looking for mouse-sized droppings beneath the box or observing from a distance at dusk to check for activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e444 x 250 x 145mm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wildlife World","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56153485869438,"sku":"232275","price":79.14,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/7359\/5435\/files\/CSVBBConservationBatBox7.jpg?v=1756302014","url":"https:\/\/checkout.pitchcare.com\/products\/wildlife-world-conservation-bat-box","provider":"Pitchcare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
