Common pipistrelle magnet – Backyard Heroes

Discover the common pipistrelle (Pipistrellus pipistrellus), the twilight hunter of your garden and Europe's smallest and most common bat. This nocturnal garden guardian devours up to 3,000 mosquitoes and midges every night — the most effective and eco-friendly pest control nature has to offer. As the only flying mammal in Europe and a protected species, the common pipistrelle is an indispensable yet often invisible hero of our gardens.

This premium magnet features stunning wildlife photography that captures the elegance and mystery of this special night hunter.

Why bats are garden superheroes:

• Each bat eats 3,000 mosquitoes and midges per night
• Natural pest control — no chemicals needed
• Pollinate night-blooming flowers
• Only flying mammal in Europe
• Protected species — all European bats are endangered

How to make your garden bat-friendly:

• Plant night-scented flowers (honeysuckle, evening primrose, jasmine)
• Install bat boxes on south-facing walls or trees
• Create a small pond — attracts insects for bats
• Leave dead trees standing (natural roosts)
• Reduce outdoor lighting — bats love darkness
• Never use pesticides — toxic to bats and their food

We partner with organizations that make a real, measurable contribution to wildlife protection. Together, we build a community of wildlife ambassadors — one magnet at a time.

With the purchase of this magnet, we donate €2.00 to wildlife conservation – allowing you to directly contribute to the preservation of the common pipistrelle and its habitat.
