Our signature product, the patented Barn Owl Box, is now in use by thousands of orchards, vineyards, row crop farms, and private land owners. This innovative nest box is contributing to highly effective natural rodent control programs while reducing the use of pesticides and aiding in barn owl conservation in numerous states.
Barn owls, which can be established in dense colonies, eat high numbers of rodents, and remain faithful to their nest sites, have been shown to reduce rodent numbers at less cost than trapping or poisons. They exert a constant pressure on pest populations. A single family of barn owls will consume between 2,000 and 3,000 rodents annually. The large population of 18 breeding pairs on our study site in California consumed over 30,000 rodents in three years.
The Barn Owl Box Company participates in numerous research projects around the country. Please view the PBS segment on our cutting edge research on the sidebar link that highlights how we established a colony of over 100 barn owls on a single vineyard with significant reductions in rodent numbers.

Why Choose Plastic Over Wood?
Unlike wooden nest boxes, our molded plastic nest box is lightweight, rainproof, never needs painted, outlasts several wooden boxes and, due to its highly reflective outer box and its dark inner box with ventilation space all around, the plastic nest box stays close to ambient temperature in full sun. Studies throughout the U.S. have shown the plastic nest box to attract very high rates of occupation quickly. See our Testimonials page. Then there is the issue of honeybees taking over wooden boxes!

Testimonial of the Month
“We had nearly 100% occupancy in our owl boxes this year. When we cleaned out the boxes they were loaded with gopher skulls… Thanks for building such a great product. I put up around your recommended number…12 in a 60 acre field. 4 in a 17 acre field. The only box that didn’t get occupied was near an irrigation pump, road and house.” Ray Yeung of Yeung Produce in Woodland, CA.
