Bats live in a variety of habitats, including wetlands, fields, forests, cities, suburbs, and agricultural areas. They usually feed in areas where insects swarm, such as over water and agricultural fields, in forest clearings and along forest edges, and around street lights.
Bats have been reported to eat small quantities of mosquitoes in locations throughout the country, including Alaska, Oregon, California, Michigan, Indiana, New Hampshire, New York, and Florida. The species most likely to eat mosquitoes in Florida is the southeastern bat (Myotis austroriparius).
