Bats reduce the need for chemical pesticides. Bats normally eat about half their weight in flying insects each night. Most species of North American bats feed on flying insects, including mosquitoes.

Some of the largest colonies of Mexican free-tailed bats consume more than 100 tons of insects during spring and summer nights.
