Description
Control insects and rodents naturally by inviting magnificent raptors to your yard with the JCS Wildlife Cedar Screech Owl Nest Box. Handcrafted right here in Southern Indiana, this high-performance wildlife house is engineered specifically to match the nesting preferences of Screech Owls and Saw-whet Owls.
By pairing a premium weather-resistant cedar wood body with an indestructible recycled poly lumber roof, this premium nest box gives small cavity-nesting owls a safe alternative to lost natural hollows where they can comfortably raise their young.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Premium Cedar & Poly Hybrid Build: Blends a thick 5/8" natural cedar wood body with a vibrant recycled poly lumber roof. The weather-resistant cedar handles outdoor moisture gracefully, while the poly roof is guaranteed never to warp, crack, split, or fade from exposure to the elements.
  • Natural Insect & Rodent Control: Screech Owls are highly effective, silent nocturnal predators. Inviting a nesting pair to your property provides a 24/7 chemical-free defense system to keep local mice, voles, moths, and large flying insects completely under control.
  • Easy-Access Flip-Open Front Door: The front panel door features an easy-open security latch that swings completely open, allowing wide-open access for seamless initial installation and fast annual cleaning.
  • Integrated Fledgling Grip Slats: Built with specialized grooved cedar slats cut directly into the front interior wall. This serves as a natural interior ladder, helping growing owlets securely climb up to the portal when they are ready to explore.
  • All-Weather Drainage & Airflow: Formulated with pre-drilled bottom drainage holes and precise air gaps beneath the overhanging roof to promote steady horizontal airflow, keeping the nesting cavity dry, cool, and safe from toxic mold.
  • Free Nesting Materials Included: Small owls do not gather their own nesting materials and heavily rely on pre-existing debris. This box arrives with complimentary premium nesting shavings to properly prep your box for immediate seasonal use.

Habitat & Placement Guide: Where to Mount Your Owl Box

Screech Owls are widely found across the United States and central Canada, making them one of the easiest owls to attract to residential neighborhoods, parks, and gardens.
  1. Ideal Environment: Position your nesting box near deep woods, coniferous groves, or dense evergreen thickets. Areas near wetlands, swamps, or mature garden borders are highly preferred due to the rich diversity of local prey.
  2. Mounting Height: For maximum safety from ground predators and domestic pets, securely mount the box 10 to 20 feet high onto a mature, dense tree trunk or sturdy wooden post.
  3. Territorial Spacing: Position this cedar house away from the active nesting sites or feeding stations of other birds. This prevents territorial friction and ensures the small owls feel secure enough to claim the cavity.
  4. Optimal Seasonal Timing: It is best to mount your nesting box between late September and mid-February, giving migratory or resident winter scouts plenty of time to find and claim the territory before the active spring breeding season begins.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why does this box include free nesting shavings?
Unlike songbirds that intricately weave nests out of twigs and grass, Screech Owls and Saw-whet Owls do not gather or carry nesting materials. In the wild, they rely entirely on pre-existing wood rot and wood chips found at the bottom of natural tree hollows. Spreading the included shavings across the bottom floor mimics this natural habitat perfectly.
Will this house protect young owlets from climbing predators?
Yes. The 4" x 3" oval entry portal is situated a deep 9.75 inches above the interior floor. This deepwell construction keeps the vulnerable eggs and developing owlets safely tucked away at the bottom of the box, well out of reach from the straight-line grasp of curious raccoons or cats outside.
Do I need to paint or seal the cedar wood sections?
No. Aromatic cedar wood contains natural self-preserving oils that are inherently water-resistant and insect-repelling. The exterior wood will naturally age into a beautiful, rustic silver-gray patina over time. Never apply chemical paint, varnish, or wood stain to the interior of the box, as artificial chemical fumes are toxic and will permanently deter owls from nesting.
