Bats do indeed have eyes, but their vision is very dim. They navigate mainly by echo location, where they emits squeaks , and judge how close something is by the sound that bounces back. That is why bat capture is done with nets. The open mesh does not return an adequate amount of sound to enable bats to successfully avoid them.
What would happen if you killed all bats?
Please look up information before reporting that bats are not useful. The potential extinction of America's bats is more than just a conservation issue. During spring and summer bats eat more than half their body weight in insects every night to store up fat reserves for the long winter hibernation. If America's bats die out scientists say the loss to the farming industry would be devastating.
Bats are one of nature's greatest pesticides, while they are awake from hibernation (180 days or so), a million little brown bats will eat - and this is a conservative estimate - in the region of 500 tons of insects. Imagine if all the bats died...our food prices would skyrocket. The cost to farmers for pesticides would increase tremendously. The University of Boston, using a test study compiled over eight counties in Texas, believes the US farming industry will go from spending $1bn a year on pesticides to $9bn.
