WHY DO SOME BATS ROOST IN BUILDINGS?
Buildings give bats what all mammals need: protection from predators, stable temperatures and safe shelter in which to rest and raise their young. Bats have species-specific roost needs and preferences that vary by season, region, climate and activity. Some bat species use man-made structures like buildings, bridges and other constructions, to complement their selection of natural roosts, whereas others are forced to use buildings almost exclusively as alternative roosts when natural roosts such as caves and hollow trees are in decline or no longer available.
In the U.S. and Canada, almost three-fourths of the 47 bat species have been documented in structures
