Since bats are mammals, they copulate just as other mammals do. Pallid bats become sexually mature at about two years of age. Mating begins in October and goes through February. The female stores the sperm until sometime during the first two weeks in April, when ovulation and fertilization take place. The female bat usually gives brith to twins. Birth takes place during the first half of June. The foetuses weighs 3 to 3.5 grams at birth, and their eyes are closed. See similar questions...

Bats often roost under eves at night and leave early in the morning before sunrise. During the day they roost in and among cracks, crevices, foliage, caves, and other manmade objects like attics, barns, and abandoned buildings where it is quiet and less chance of disturbance. Never attempt to touch or forcefully remove a bat from your home. The best method is to make your home less appealing. First try using bright lights in the area that they prefer to roost.
