Bats Returned to Central Ohio in Mid-April: Did you know the most common bat in central Ohio is the little brown bat, which spends the winter hibernating in caves and mines in southeastern and southern Ohio? These wintering roosts may number up to 300,000 individual bats, says Jed Burtt, Ph.D., OWU professor of zoology. The bats emerge from hibernation in early April and return to their summer roosts in attics, barns, hollow trees, and bat houses by mid-April. Those who had bats around their homes last year probably will have them again as they are faithful to their breeding and wintering sites. The bats, which can live up to 34 years or more, forage at 10-20 feet and can eat up to their weight in insects each night.
