Description
Looking for a natural pest control solution? Install a Barn Owl Box to help alleviate that pesky pest problem.
The entrance hole of the JCS Wildlife Barn Owl Nesting Box is elliptical in shape to provide protection from predators including raccoons and Great Horned Owls. Additionally, there is an interior divider separating the box into two compartments. Should a predator be able to reach into the box, they will be unable to reach the owl or owlets on the other side of the divider.
The entrance hole is also placed in consideration of young owlets to prevent them from being pushed out of the box by others behind them especially as they all seek to be fed first. Special "grip" grooves underneath the entrance hole also help the adult owl gain access into the box.
A door on the end of the box allows for easy access to the interior - making clean out a simple and quick task. This also provides easy access to mount a wildlife camera in the box, so you can enjoy viewing your own young owlets during their growth process.
Our previous barn owl house design has proven very successful in attracting and providing homes to thousands of owls. Ranchers, farmers, and vineyards have found these useful for their own areas for a form of natural pest control. This new, larger model sports larger overall dimensions to better accommodate larger broods.
Nesting Material: Although Barn Owls can and will find their own nesting material, a bag of pine shavings is included with your nesting box. Scattering some on the floor of the box when mounting will make the box more appealing to the owl. If you need to replace the nesting material, pine shavings are the safest option.
**Cedar should not be used as the dust and fumes have been known to irritate young owls.**
This nesting box also comes with included stainless steel mounting screws for easy installation of our newly designed mounting system. Three total mounting strips are also included in the box to attach to your preferred mounting location.
Natural Finish: The box has been treated with natural linseed oil on the exterior to help protect the wood.
**No paint or varnish should be applied to the interior. Use of these finishes on the interior of the Box could deter Barn Owls from nesting.**
Where Should I Put My Box? Barn owls generally prefer open fields and meadows with a plentiful supply of small animals. The owl generally eats voles, deer mice, house mice, field mice, gophers, and small birds, so the box should be placed where there will be a steady diet of these. One should also make sure that the box is mounted at least 1 mile or more away from areas treated with pesticides to keep the Barn Owls safe.
For example, on farms with cropland bordered by trees, small animals will be in the area between the tree line and the crop line. Placing boxes in this area will attract the owls hunting there.
An additional three-sided platform is also available separately to add to your nesting box.
JCS Wildlife has been offering barn owl boxes for sale for the last few years and our customers have found great success in using our owl boxes as a way to keep their fields, farms and vineyards safe from rodents.

Very sturdy and well built barn owl nesting box. Customer service excellent and quick response to an issue I had.

Well built owl nesting box. Because I wasn’t interested in applying a new coat of linseed oil every year, I chose to paint the box with light grey acrylic paint (two coats on sides and bottom, three coats on top). After researching placing nails/screws in trees, I decided to use three ratchet straps to attach the box to the tree, with horizontal router gap on the three black mounting pieces (where the line of **** holes are located) to accommodate the width of the ratchet straps. If I ever have to replace the three black mounting pieces, I’ll use two vertical treated 2x4s to attach to the box, then use a ratchet strap above and below the box to attach to the tree. Can’t wait for a new feathered friend to reside in its new house.

Absolutely stunning. These far surpassed our expectations!

Very well built and sturdy. Well worth the money, as you can tell a lot of care went into the construction. It looks great up the tree. No owls yet, but hopefully one will move in eventually.

I am amazed how quickly the box arrived after ordering. The packaging was sturdy and well done, so there was no damage during shipping.
The owl box itself is well built. The included instructions are clear, I was able to attach the anchors and get the box mounted without any mis-steps - which is really saying something considering how unskilled I usually am with these sorts of things!
I hung the box this past weekend in a pine tree we have on the property, so no owls yet. It might be a little late in the season, but we are hopeful.

We ordered and received two barn owl boxes, to be installed in a couple pastures for gopher and rat control. We haven't put them up yet, but unpacking them showed great quality, well packed for shipping, prompt shipping. Directions and hardware for mounting were included. Overall a great product and great service.
E
Just what we were looking for! Thank you!

Very well made and comes with all the mounting hardware you need. This is our fifth owl box from JCS! Always a pleasure.

Well made, very sturdy, would definitely recommend to anyone looking to put up an owl box

I am very pleased with the quick service. I received much faster than I thought. I can't comment on the product at this time as it is a Christmas gift and I didn't open the box.. Thank You

While we haven’t installed it yet, this nesting box is made according to guidelines established by bird authorities. The order arrived quickly and was packed securely.

I recommend this nesting box 100%. It is very well built and the enclosed information is helpful when finding the best spot to place the box in order to attract owls.

Exceeded my expectations! Can't wait to see it inhabited!

You advertised two day shipping. It was 7 day shipping.

The boxes appear to be of decent construction, but the clean out door hinge screws had split the plywood. I was able to relocate the screws and predrill the the holes to keep them from splitting. I would like better quality control prior to shipping. It wasn't worth sending them back to get fixed when I was able to in a few minutes. Otherwise a good product.

Very quick and easy. Package came undamaged

The owl nesting box was a very good present that was well appreciated. I am wondering if there is a mounting kit I can purchase to assure that I can bring the project to a conclusion. Thank you

Great customer support

Ordered the barn owl house on JCs instead of other reseller sites so they could keep more of the $.House was VERY well built, and arrived fast without damage.Includes wood shavings, mounting brackets and screws.This will make a great present.
C
The owl box seems to be well designed and constructed, came packed well, included some bedding. I found it to be easy to hang, and it looks great in the tree. Now just need some residents! Considering the price, and the craftsmanship, this is a quality product.
J
No instructions at all, not even on the JC Wildlife website. My box came with missing screws, only instructions on how to hang it, nothing about assembling the box, I had to follow photos online and guess. Not all the holes are pre drilled like the description says so a lot of peices ended up splitting upon assembly. Overpriced considering all the above. Feel really ripped off here. Had to get more screws to finish the job. Hope the owls like it,

Very well built. Pretty heavy, you’ll need a buddy to help mount it!

Delivered quickly. Easy instructions. Great construction. Only possible improvement would be for a family of owls to come with it. Two thumbs up

Excellent purchase.
