Barn Owl Box

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.

The Barn Owl Box Company's mission is to provide lightweight, long-lasting barn owl boxes that meet high standards for agriculturalists, conservationists, researchers, and property owners while at the same time providing in-depth information on natural rodent control, integrated pest management, and barn owl conservation. The Barn Owl Box was designed by Mark Browning, animal trainer and field researcher for the Pittsburgh Zoo. Browning has studied barn owls for the past nine years and conducted the first satellite telemetry study of the barn owl's seasonal movements.
