Farmers, ranchers, and property owners-- enhance your rodent control programs
and help conserve this beautiful predator at the same time.
Did you know that a family of barn owls can consume over 3000 rodents annually?
There are two models of the Barn Owl Box: the Pole Model and the Barn Model. Additionally,
the Pole Model can be adapted to mount in a tree. Both models come with all the hardware necessary for mounting and
a brochure on placement and installation.
Advantages over wooden nest boxes: Lasts far longer. Lighter,
easily installed. Resistant to bacteria, mold, and parasites. Easy to clean. Waterproof.
Integrated
pest management takes a broad, multidisciplined approach to rodent control. Barn owls can assist such rodent control programs
by harvesting large numbers of rodents throughout the year. This allows other approaches, such as trapping, to be more effective.
The Post Mounted Model
Contains heat-reflective pigment, a radiant barrier, and double-box system to prevent overheating
The Barn Owl Box, designed by a barn owl researcher, is constructed
of durable, UV-resistant plastic, is lightweight, easy to install, and features a landing ledge, a five and a half inch
entrance hole, a rain guard, a removable front, and a Plexiglas viewing window in the rear. And unlike wooden boxes, the Barn
Owl Box will last for many years.
The Pole Model is designed for
use in full sun, and employs special pigments, radiant barrier insulation, and a double-box system to keep the interior of
the box close to ambient temperature even on the hottest of days.
Only the front with entrance, rainguard, and ledge remains on outside
The Barn Model is the first barn owl nest box designed to fit into the walls
of either prefabricated or wooden barns. Once installed, the nest box is mounted on the interior, and only the faceplate with
entrance, rainguard, and landing ledge remains visible on the exterior.
As metal barns have replaced old wooden
barns, they have taken away traditional nesting sites for barn owls, but the Barn Owl Box satisfies the needs of both the
farmer and the owl by providing a good nest site without allowing the owls or pest species access to the barn.

From the vineyards of California to the dairy and crop farms
of the midwest, the sugar cane fields of Australia, the oil palm plantations of South East Asia, and the kibbutzes
of Israel, the barn owl has proved to be a valuable asset in integrated pest management programs. Join those who are using
barn owls for natural rodent control and lower crop losses while reducing the amount of poisons entering the ecosystem.
At the same time, help conserve this beautiful bird.
