While most people know bats bounce sound waves too high for people to hear off of objects (even ones as small as mosquitoes) to "see" in the dark (sonar), few people know that bats create sounds we can hear.

So YES, they do chirp- very loudly. Just ask anybody who has bats in their attic. It sounds like baby birds, lots of baby birds. They chirp socially while they are roosting to communicate with the rest of the colony. One thing that might set the whole colony chirping is approaching danger. In other words, that bat in the eave of your house that chirps when you get near it during the day isn't asking for you to help get it out- it's screaming to everybody else to watch out because there's some giant two-legged monster coming!

Also, RABID BATS DON'T ATTACK! Bats get paralytic rabies, not aggressive rabies (the 0.5 % that even get rabies, that is).

Get rid of your mosquitoes the natural way! Build a Bat House!
