Bats Feast on Termites

Bats Feast on Termites. Last week at my office one of the office staff came to me and asked what she should do about some bats that were attached to the front face of our building. The bats were tagged and being monitored by the biology center at Austin Peay State University.

 

Although I didn’t see the bats myself  I asked some more questions. How many days had she seen the bats? What did they appear to be doing?

 

The bats were basically in the same spot on the outside brick facade where they had been for several days. They were very still and about 8 feet off the ground. I knew that bats like to eat insects so thought maybe they had found a hole in the mortar and were feeding on a little nest of insects. And that was exactly what they were doing.

 

Bats Feast on Termites. In fact the building had termites that had eaten their way up from the ground almost 8 feet into the wall and the bats were having a feast. The bats were giving warning signs of termites. With further investigation the termites had begun to eat through the drywall in the office wall on the other side of the brick wall.

If you have bats around your home watch their actions. They like to eat insects and especially winged insects. They could be helping to free your home of unwanted insects. Or they could be telling you that you have termites.
