I live out in the country and I do have bats and owls around. I thought it would be fun to have a house around the place so I can watch them better.

I know placement is important, from what I have read. Both ~12' up and be on a pole.

Bats facing s/se for the sun, open area with no branches.

Owls can be in a tree, I guess. Open area next to a field.

That is about all I got...
Bought my Dad a Bat house one year for Fathers Day and he put it on a tall pole in the middle of his garden. Said it worked to keep the bugs down and bats did use it. HE got another one and put it on the house as well.
