WHAT DO BATS EAT?
DO BATS ONLY EAT INSECTS,
CAN BATS FEED ON PEOPLE AND
ANIMALS LIKE CATS AND DOGS,
LIKE IN THE MOVIES?
BATS ARE INSECT LOVERS WITH OF COURSE THE LATE FALL, WINTER AND EARLY SPRING Exceptions, if the Roost that Bats picked is hot/warm it won't allow Bats to completely Hibernate. The Bats will wake-up and go looking for food.
Well they won't be able to get out the way they came in. As it will probably be frozen with ice and snow. So the Bats are going to follow the heat.
Eventually they will end up in your duct work then they can go anywhere in the house, building shed, garage, shop, barn. Worse the Bat can infect your pets(dogs/ cats) and livestock with Rabies.
****This can be VERY VERY DANGEROUS!!!!! BATS CARRY THE RABIES VIRUS AND THEY ARE HUNGRY AND THERE AREN'T ANY BUGS IN THE WINTER.
So the Bats are HUNGRY and going to take what they can get: you, your kids, your pet dog or cat. Many times we have found bats in the babies crib.
To you it's just a shot but a Rabies Shot that could have been avoided had just got the Bats out before September. NOW THERE'S NOWHERE FOR THE BATS TO GO BUT TO STAY THERE TILL THE END OF MARCH!
THEN IT REALLY GETS EXPENSIVE:
HAVING TO SPECIALLY MESH AND CAULK THIS ENTIRE INSIDE OF YOUR HOUSE AND USE SPECIAL OWD LIVE TRAPS, THEN WE HAVE TO PROPERLY RELOCATE THE BATS TO A BAT RESERVE.
WHAT KIND OF INSECTS DO BATS EAT?
"Little brown bats are insectivores, eating moths, wasps, beetles, gnats, mosquitoes, midges and mayflies, among others. Since many of their preferred meals are insects with an aquatic life stage, such as mosquitoes, they prefer to roost near water. Brown bats forage near bodies of water and move in and out of adjacent vegetation.Evening forages are done in groups and above the water. They echo locate to find their prey. They are particularly good at hunting insects when they are at close range and packed together. When hunting, little brown bats capture prey both by gleaning and by catching them in the air. When in flight, bats scoop up the prey with their wings, while prey above water is directly grabbed with the mouth.
"Brown bat doesn't claim feeding areas like a territory, however individuals frequently return to the same feeding sites where they have previously made successful catches. When hunting swarms, brown bats usually select no more than two species. They feed on more species when they are scattered. If they do not catch any food, they will enter a torpor similar to hibernation that day, awakening at night to hunt again.

The bats' diet makes this species beneficial to agriculture as it eats many species of agricultural pests. Other than that, it can pollinate crops."
