I looked at several bat houses before buying this one. I chose this particular bat house because it is made to the Organization For Bat Conservation Specifications. Some of the other bat houses that I looked at online did not indicate that they were built according to the same standards. For instance, most did not indicate if they were properly caulked or even constructed with screws rather than nails.
To be upfront, I was initially going to buy a bat house from the Organization for Bat Conservation itself. (The organization was recommended to me by an article in a national gardening magazine on attracting bats to your garden to control insects). However, the organization's bat houses and bat house kits are sold as fund raisers, so they cost a bit more than I was hoping to pay. I looked up their specifications for building bat houses, but decided that it would be easier for me to find something on amazon.com that fit the specifications rather than build my own.
This company was the only one I found that clearly stated whether they followed the organization's recommendations. Some of the other boxes were built to other standards, such as to Audubon Society Standards, which would probably be OK too. However, most of the other vendors listed how easy it would be to attract bats with their boxes without giving an ounce of information on how well their products were constructed. Unfortunately, the reviews for the other boxes did not give much information on construction either. This one met the construction standards that I was looking for, had more than one chamber, and was reasonably priced for the quality.
The bat house arrived on time and well-packed. It also came with some literature on whether or not the bat house ought to be painted/stained - and if so, what color. Again, this is consistent with what I found through the Bat Conservation website (www.batcon.org). The same literature included information on hanging, maintenance, and how long it may take before the bats move in. Overall, I am satisfied and would recommend the product to others. However, be aware that it does not come with a pole and it comes unstained/unpainted. (Granted, this appears to be consistent with all of the other bat houses available online, so I don't view it as a problem).

I purchased the Looker Triple Chamber bat house less than a month ago. I also purchased the bat "scent" to attract bats to their new home. I already have bats living in their new house. Since I live in the woods, I prefer to kill mosquitoes without harming birds or other animals. Bats feast on the mosquitoes every night - and, I enjoy watching them from my back porch.

The Looker OBC Bat triple Chamber House was exactly as described, very sturdy and well built. I liked it so much that I purchased one as a Christmas present and the recipient was also very please with the product. I only gave it four stars because it's not time for the bats to arrive to see if their as impressed with this house as I was and make it their home. Also, this same exact bat house was more expensive on all the other sites that I saw it. Would definitely recommend.
