Pearce Environment | Bat Bricks
Quantity:
These are brick-sized objects approximately 200mm x 100mm x 70mm hand-made from an absorbent clay, roughened with sand and fired to about 1100 degrees C. to make them frost-proof. They have a series of slits of the correct size for Daubenton's, Natterer's, Brown Long-eared, Brandts, Whiskered and Barbastelle to hide in.These bricks would typically be used to replace an existing perhaps crumbling brick in a brick-built vaulted tunnel. The old brick should be carefully removed using a grinder, drill or cold chisel, taking proper safety precautions, then inserting the bat brick using an appropriate mortar (e.g. a soft lime mortar for old brickwork, or 6:1 sand:cement for modern brickwork). Modern resin-based mortars can be used, but they should be used sparingly, only in the summer when no bats are present, with extra ventilation and so placed to provide a water soluble 'wick' with the original substrate. Prop the brick in place with a length of timber or an "Acro-prop" for a day or so until set, then carefully point-up around any gaps.They are NOT 'entry bricks', neither were they designed to be used facing into the cavity wall of modern houses and are considered unlikely to be used by bats in this situation.
