Installation

Southeast or southwest orientation, at least 2-3 m high, with a clear flight path. Provide a source of mud nearby for the birds to maintain the nest.

About the species

Suitable for both house martins and barn swallows. Gregarious, swallows appreciate grouped nests: prioritize installing several HiroNid together.

Instructions for use

Direct mounting on all types of facades, without additional support: two fixing holes accessible through the entrance window.

  • Quarter sphere, closed bottom
  • Internal Ø: 160 mm — Input window: 50 mm

Placement

Install at least 2-3 m from the ground, facing southeast or southwest, with a clear flight path in front of the nest. Provide a source of mud nearby.

Maintenance

Generally do not require cleaning, except in certain specific circumstances:

  • Nest abandonment:If swallows no longer use a nest for several seasons, it may be filled with debris or infested with insects. In this case, cleaning can help attract new swallows.
  • Parasite infestation:If you notice a significant presence of parasites (fleas, mites, etc.), it may be helpful to clean or replace the nest to ensure a healthy environment for future broods.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to choose the right nesting box?

Each product is sized for a specific species (diameter of the entrance hole, chamber volume). Refer to the description and the technical sheet downloadable on each product page.

How are birdhouses installed?

AQUAPANEL® recessed nest boxes are integrated into the thickness of the insulation during external thermal insulation, or are fixed directly onto the masonry with the supplied accessories. Surface-mounted nests can be installed on all types of facades.

What are the delivery times?

Our products are made in France, to order: allow approximately 4 weeks from receipt of the order, then delivery by carrier within 48 hours. Free delivery from €200 incl. VAT for individuals; for professionals, transport costs according to the total weight of the order.

Should birdhouses be maintained?

Generally, no: swifts and bats do not require any cleaning. The NIDELLE cornice swallows' nests have removable supports for easy inspection, outside of the nesting period.

How long does it take for nesting boxes to be occupied?

Colonization can take one to several seasons depending on the species and the proximity of existing colonies. Installing several nest boxes side by side encourages settlement.
