Comment by Jon S. z7 tx God blessed the USA on March 3, 2012 at 10:05pm: high as you can get it on a shade side to keep the light and heat down attract them with fruit like oranges or something tacked to the out side cut one in half stick it on a nail. the fruit will attract and grow gnats and fruit fly's around the box the bats will be attracted to eat.

Comment by Robin (N.IL zone 5) on March 2, 2012 at 10:11pm: I believe it's a height requirement more so than a destination. though if you can put it on a building that would be good, and make sure that you have screens on your chimney stacks.
