Accessories: complete and extend the life of your installations
The France Nichoirs range of accessories includes complementary products that facilitate coexistence between buildings and protected wildlife: access ducts for bats and droppings boards for swallows. Made in France from durable materials (stainless steel, aluminum), they are suitable for both individuals and building professionals (request a quote).
The CHIROJOINT duct for bats
The CHIROJOINT access duct transforms a simple facade expansion joint into a refuge for chiropterans. Made of highly corrosion-resistant 316L stainless steel, ultra-discreet with its 2 mm walls, it guarantees secure access for bats while protecting the joint from water infiltration. This is a particularly relevant solution for new buildings. To further accommodate bats, combine it with the BATHOME-AO roost from the built-in nest box range, and discover these little-known species in the different varieties of bats and the distribution of pipistrelles in France. See bat accessories.
NIDCLEAN droppings boards for swallows
Under swallows' nests, droppings can stain the facade and hinder the acceptance of colonies. NIDCLEAN droppings boards, made of 2 mm aluminum with a 250 mm wide collection surface, cleanly collect these droppings while preserving nesting sites. Three sizes match the NIDKIT nest boxes: NIDCLEAN1 (matching the NIDKIT1), NIDCLEAN2 (for the NIDKIT2) and NIDCLEAN3 (for the NIDKIT3). Find them among the swallow accessories.
Installation tips
Fix the NIDCLEAN board 30-50 cm below the nest box so as not to hinder the birds' flight, and clean it periodically outside of their presence. The CHIROJOINT duct is installed in the upper part of the joint, at a minimum of 3-5 m, facing south. Each product sheet offers its downloadable technical sheet. To make the right choice, consult our practical guide to nest boxes.
Why choose France Nichoirs accessories
Made in France, from stainless steel and aluminum, our accessories are designed according to industrial quality standards to guarantee longevity and discretion.

By limiting nuisance related to droppings and securing bat access, they transform a building constraint into a concrete action for biodiversity. Find the entire range of accessories.
Durable materials and careful integration
The CHIROJOINT duct is made of 316L stainless steel, a variant of stainless steel offering increased corrosion resistance, including in saline or chlorinated environments – ideal for exposed maritime or urban applications. NIDCLEAN droppings boards, made of 2 mm aluminum, are lightweight, weather-resistant, and 100% recyclable. Both can be offered in a raw finish or lacquered in various RAL colors, to blend perfectly into the facade or joint. Their thinness guarantees discreet integration, without altering the aesthetic of the building.
A range designed for building professionals
Designed for quick installation on concrete, masonry, wood, cladding or insulated facades, our accessories facilitate work at height and adapt to the configuration of each colony – from a single nest to a complete row. They ideally complement surface-mounted nest boxes for swallows and built-in nest boxes for bats. Each reference has a downloadable technical sheet, and professionals benefit from progressive pricing: request your quote.
Did you know?
A single pipistrelle can catch up to 3,000 insects in one night, and swallows effectively regulate mosquito populations. Preserving these species also improves the quality of life around buildings. Discover them in our articles on bat varieties and pipistrelles in France.
Sustainably promote biodiversity
Swallows, swifts, and bats are protected species, essential for the natural regulation of insects. By limiting nuisances and making habitats sustainable, our accessories enhance the acceptance of wildlife in both urban and rural environments. Complete your project with surface-mounted nest boxes for swallows, built-in nest boxes for swifts, sparrows, tits, and bats, or decorative moldings from the Mod&Nature range. Have a specific need?
