The disruption of natural habitat reduces the numbers and varieties of insects that the little brown bat feeds on. Pollution and pesticides can also reduce the food supply for bats, and pesticides can potentially poison the bats themselves. The little brown bats have some natural predators such as hawks and owls that can harm them as well. Most fear of bats is based not on fact but on myths, legends, and superstition. Fear of bats subsides with knowledge and accurate information.
Bats are birds.
Bats are blind. Bats always get tangled in human hair. All bats bite and carry rabies and diseases. Not all bats bite and carry diseases. Bats seldom transmit disease to other animals or humans, but bats are wild animals and should not be disturbed, in case they are carrying certain diseases.
