Bats are predators and as such good indicators of a healthy ecosystem. If your garden is wildlife-friendly, chances are it will be bat-friendly too. They use hedges as a hunting ground (plenty of insects) and also as a route to follow to other hunting grounds.  Ponds are also a good source of insects for bats, as are night flowering plants such as evening primrose, honeysuckle and night scented stocks. Insecticides are not good for bats at all…
