This is so sad. I guess we won't have any more bats eating the mosquitoes and blackflies here. And we always had some in our loft but not anymore.

Nova Scotia listed bats as an endangered species Thursday due to a widespread fungal infection that has wiped out over 90 per cent of the province’s bat population in just a couple of years.

Thanks, Спасибо! +Ellie Kennard
Very sad 🙁
In this case it's a fungus Kim. How do you connect it to those products? +Kimberly Smith
Ban petrochemical and neonicatinoid pesticides!!!
No question that it will +David R Robinson – with all of the implications that has for lymes disease etc. They eat, as you say, tons of them. Or half their body weight a night, I think I heard? That is one huge amount of mosquitoes.
Definitely +Ellie Kennard, it's sad.
It also makes you wonder if the disappearance of bats will cause the mosquito populations to explode since they eat tons of them.
Thank Divinity we still have bats in Denmark. But the decrease in their population from 10 years ago is so obvious. I love these little fellows and enjoy so much the rare sight of them in the dusk.
Can't plus one that comment +David R Robinson 🙁
Unfortunately, it's now as far south as here in Georgia as well.
