You see, here in\nKentucky, bats are insectivores, which means they eat a diet of insects, mostly\nflying sorts like gnats, flies, moths, and of course, mosquitoes. They also eat\ntermites, beetles, and several others types of insects, but the flying bugs\nwill easily give away a bat\u2019s location. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why? Well these insects typically group together in large\nswarms, which are very visible during dusk. And where do these bugs like to\nfly? Around water, like streams, creeks, ponds, lakes, and rivers. So if your\nhome is located near a body of water such as these, you can be sure there are\nbats living nearby that eat up all the swarming insects each night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To see for yourself, go outside right before the sun sets, when the light is still bright, but receding. Then look above an area of water for a swarm of insects. Be patient, and wait for any signs of bats. If you see a bird-like animal swooping down and darting through the swarm of insects, you are witnessing a bat eating its dinner! They are actually the world\u2019s greatest built-in pest control because a single bat can consume more than 1,000 mosquitoes in just one night! You can thank them for your comfortable backyards and picnic areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Want to learn other ways to spot bat activity in and around your house?
