Perhaps you are already aware about the ability of the bats to help in controlling the population of insects. One bat can eat at least 10 mosquitoes per minute. Each bat will eat an average of 6,000-8,000 insects per night. With their huge appetite for mosquito, this means that our place will be much safer with them. Apart from the mosquito, some of the insects that they will eat include gnats, flies, beetles, and moths.



Controlling Insects with Bats
Since bats are nocturnal creatures, this makes it challenging for the experts to study them. But during the past few years, there has been a great deal of improvement on the research about bats. It is now clear to a lot of people that the presence of bats is actually beneficial. Their appetite for insects can help in reducing the population of the harmful insects.

Can They Really Eat 1000 Mosquitoes per Hour?
While it might be possible for the bats to eat at least 10 mosquitoes per minutes, it will be difficult for them to maintain this hunting behavior for at least an hour. In fact, the evidence about their eating behavior still remains insufficient up to this day. According to the Ball State University, the animal will not only eat mosquitoes. It is also not a major part of their natural diet. Perhaps, the idea behind this has stemmed from a study that was conducted in the 1960s. The bats were released in a confined area together with mosquitoes to monitor how the bats are using their echolocation when hunting their prey.

Bats Will Eat 1/3 of Its Total Body Weight
At least 70% of the bats will prefer to consume insects while the other will eat fruits and nectars. Usually, the bat will be consuming at least 1/3 of its body mass every night. Due to the large number of insects, they can easily achieve their goal. According to the research, the bat will consume at about 4 tons insects annually. This means that without the bats, the population of insects can swell into an uncontrollable pace. Eating the insects that are in flight will happen at an astounding speed. They will be captured using their tail and will stop their movement to consume it.

Bats will also eat the insects that live on the ground. They will have to swoop down in order to capture them. There are also species of bats that will spend most of their time on the ground when hunting food. There are bats that will not use their tail when capturing the insect. Instead, they will use their teeth to capture them. The method that will be used will depend upon the species of the bats.

Eating harmful insects is just one of the reasons why it is beneficial to have a bat in your property. Their bat guano is also excellent when fertilizing the land. Some bats that eat nectar also play an important role on pollination. With their voracious appetite, they can keep the population of the insects in control.
