Bats | Cool Facts
Did you know that bats are the only mammal that has the ability to fly?
Some mammals like squirrels have developed the ability to glide for suprisingly long distances, but only bats can truely fly!
Bats have evolved unique wings that are designed for powered flight. Their wings are made up of thin, flexible membranes of skin that stretch between elongated fingers and the body. The wings are controlled by highly specialized muscles that allow for precise movements and quick changes in direction.
Bats also use an incridible system of echolocation that allows them to navigate and locate prey in complete darkness. They emit high-frequency sounds that bounce off objects in their environment, and then use the echoes to construct a mental map of their surroundings.
Bats have elongated thumbs with a hook-like structure at the tip, which they use to hang upside down. They have specialized tendons and muscles that allow them to maintain a tight grip on surfaces, even when they are asleep.
Bats have a specialized organ called the uropatagium, which is a thin membrane of skin that connects their hind legs and tail. This membrane is used to capture and hold insects while the bat is in flight. The uropatagium also plays a role in thermoregulation, helping to maintain the bat’s body temperature during flight.
We think bats are pretty amazing at Innovative Pest Solutions. We hope you will too!
Fearless Through Knowledge
Little brown bats are fascinating creatures. They also play a vital role in the ecosystem. While they may seem intimidating or scary to some people, there is no need to fear them. By understanding more about these creatures and their importance to the environment, we can appreciate their value and work towards protecting their place in our ecosystem.
Little brown bats are insectivores that primarily feed on moths, and a variety of other pest insects. They can consume up to half their body weight in insects each night. This makes them an important predator that helps to control many pest insect populations. By reducing the number of insects, little brown bats help to prevent the spread of diseases and protect crops and gardens.
In addition to their role in pest control, little brown bats are also important pollinators. They feed on nectar and pollen from flowers, and their activity helps to transfer pollen from one flower to another, aiding in the reproduction of plants.
Despite their small size, little brown bats exhibit remarkable adaptations and behaviors. They have the ability to echolocate, using sound waves to navigate and locate prey in the dark. They can also fly at incredible speeds and maneuver with agility to capture insects mid-flight.
Unfortunately, little brown bats are facing significant threats to their survival. One of the biggest challenges they face is the spread of White-Nose Syndrome, a fungal disease that has decimated bat populations in North America. This disease disrupts the hibernation cycle of bats, causing them to awaken too early and deplete their fat reserves, leading to starvation and death. This is one of the reasons that Innovative Pest Solutions takes a cautious approach to the time of year we remove bats.
In addition to disease, little brown bats also face habitat loss and destruction. Human activities such as deforestation, development, and pesticide use can all contribute to the decline of bat populations.
Occasionally bats can carry rabies. Contrary to popular belief occurs rabies only occurs in one in fifteen hundred bats, and is typically dormant in healthy bats. The dormant rabies virus however can be aggravated by stress and spread in the population, then to other animals or people. That’s why our approach to bat control is taken with the utmost care and respect for the bats in people’s homes and buildings. We have committed to humanely and compassionately relocate bats to minimize stressors that may cause the spread of rabies.
It is important to recognize the value of little brown bats and work towards protecting them. By taking steps to reduce the use of pesticides, preserve natural habitats, treat them humanely when it is necessary to remove them from a human environment, and educating others about the importance of bats, we can help to ensure their survival and maintain the health and balance of our natural environment.
Even when control measures are necessary for bats bats, we should appreciate their value and work towards protecting them. By doing so, we can help to maintain the diversity and balance of the our ecosystem.

Under
The
Microscope
Little brown bats may look cute and harmless, but they have a particularly gross habit when it comes to their feeding habits. These small mammals feed on insects like mosquitoes, moths, and beetles, but they do so by catching their prey mid-flight with their sharp teeth and strong jaws.
However, what’s truly disgusting is that little brown bats are known to consume their prey while in flight, swallowing their food whole without even taking a moment to stop and chew. This means that they often end up with bits of insect stuck in their fur and around their mouths, creating a rather unsightly and unappetizing appearance.
The Real Batman
Little brown bats may not have the same level of fame and recognition as Batman, but they are still important creatures in their own right. As one of the most common bat species in North America, they play a crucial role in controlling insect populations and are an important food source for other animals.
While Batman is a fictional character, the story of his origins is closely tied to bats. In the Batman comics, Bruce Wayne becomes Batman after witnessing a bat flying through a window and being inspired by its ability to move silently and strike fear into its enemies. Similarly, little brown bats are known for their remarkable flying abilities and the way they can navigate through the darkness using echolocation.
However, the real-life struggles of little brown bats are far different from the challenges faced by Batman. In recent years, their populations have been declining due to a disease called white-nose syndrome. This disease is caused by a fungus that grows on the bats’ noses and wings, causing them to become weak and disoriented. While Batman may have his gadgets and resources to overcome his foes, little brown bats are facing a much more difficult battle.
Fortunately, there are ways to help little brown bats and support their populations. One way is by supporting organizations that are working to protect bats, such as the Bat Conservation International. You can also create a bat-friendly environment in your own backyard by avoiding the use of pesticides and installing a bat house.
In addition to their ecological importance, little brown bats also have cultural significance in many Native American traditions. For example, the Pueblo people of New Mexico and Arizona consider bats to be a symbol of good luck and happiness. In other cultures, bats are associated with darkness and fear, but their importance cannot be denied.
Nighttime Navigators
Little brown bats are an important part of our ecosystem, and they have some unique qualities that make them particularly interesting. Female little brown bats are capable of some incredible feats of endurance, flying up to 100 miles in a single night in search of food during the summer months. This requires incredible stamina and strength, as well as the ability to navigate through the darkness using echolocation.
In addition to their impressive physical abilities, little brown bats are also incredibly nurturing mothers. Female bats typically give birth to one or two pups each year, and they devote a great deal of time and energy to caring for their young. They will carry their pups with them while they hunt for food, and they will even nurse their young while in flight.
While bats are often associated with fear and darkness, little brown bats have a softer side. They are known to be social animals, and they will often huddle together in large groups to stay warm during the winter months. This behavior is particularly important for pregnant females, who need to maintain a warm and stable environment for their developing pups.
In addition to their ecological importance, little brown bats also have cultural significance in many indigenous traditions. For example, the Hopi people of Arizona consider bats to be messengers of the underworld and see them as symbols of rebirth and renewal. In many asian cultures, bats are associated with good luck and happiness.
