House Musc HMTH1 – surface-mounted, maintenance-free wood-concrete | Unitura

The HMTH1 is a surface-mounted house sparrow nest box made of wood-concrete that you mount on a facade. Wood-concrete lasts longer than wood without maintenance, and the box is intended for the mitigation of house sparrow nesting sites. Great tits and other tits also like to use it.

• Made entirely of wood-concrete, maintenance-free and highly durable
• Slanted roof for good drainage, so fewer dirt streaks on the facade
• Modern, functional design
• Can be placed individually or in clusters
• Easy to mount with the screws and instruction card provided

Tip: hang the box at a minimum height of 3 meters on a north- or east-facing facade or under a roof gutter, with 50 cm between the boxes.

Placement

Place the box at a minimum height of 3 m, preferably near the roof gutter. House sparrow boxes work best between 3 and 12 meters, with the roofline (approx. 6 m) as the favorite position and greenery within 10 meters. Do not hang the box in the sun. As a guideline for compensation or mitigation: two replacement habitats for every lost habitat, with at least 50 cm between the boxes.
