Genus TadaridaObserver

These bats are bu the thousands, come out at 6h20, roost in every building in holes,cracks, between the roof tiles or any small hide-away they can find. I noticed that none of them was hanging upside down and were always wedged in between cracks, in small holes or laying down on the walls. They are really a nuisance and threat for diseases as they get into every roof of the buildings, including schools, church and even the hospital where the ceilings are impregnated by their droppings. Actually the whole village smells when you get close. Everything has been tried to keep them away without success. The reason for them being so many is because we are surrounded by swamps that produce thousands of insects like Day-flies and other.
