>attach a bat home to your house

Never knew these were a thing but it's exactly what I expected. Deserves a bat signal.

We built one into the gable end of our roof during renovation: https://imgur.io/Gc42NPn?r

(and added appropriately bat-wing shaped bargeboards)

That’s a very pretty house! What country do you live if I can ask and is this a common theme?

Thanks! We live in London. Quite a few properties around in this style.

This is Edwardian, built around 1902.

Do bat houses require any kind of cleaning/maintenance?

I asked this of our bat expert friend. Apparently not. The droppings, of which there won't be many for a small house, are quite dry and will naturally fall out of the opening.

Great. Thank you for following up.
