I heard on a podcast today that smart farmers build owl nest boxes on their property because owls eat their weight in rodents daily.
One of my next projects for sure.

In CM: 25-30 deep/25-30 wide/50-60 high/12,5-13 hole/10-15 sawdust in bottom (not fine dust) In Inches: 11" deep/ 11" wide/ 21,5" high / 4,92 -5" hole / 5" sawdust in bottom.
Attraction: Place it in a tree 5 meters up. They like leaf forests but also a mix of leafs/and needletrees. There should be some open patches around. And last but not least there has to be rodents to hunt. Why: Owls are great hunters of mice and rats and you don't have to worry about using your energy. Be lazy build a owl house :) Careful: Of placing it within 20-30 meters of a house or where people walk. It will attack if people get to close when there are babies to protect.
Info not in film: I read that with a owl present in the area the rodents are 30% less up and about. This is the best rat and mouse repellent to have around. In combination with a cat or two to do the ground work you should be well covered.
