Habitat
Bats prefer dark, quiet spaces such as caves, trees, and abandoned buildings. In urban and suburban areas, they frequently roost in attics, barns, and under roof shingles. Bats are nocturnal and use echolocation to hunt for insects. They tend to return to the same roosting spot each year, making proper exclusion and prevention essential.
