Contrary to rats, bats do not like to live near humans.

Good posting.
However, in Austin TX there is a bridge or overpass in town where millions of bats fly out everyday near Sundown and lots of residents and travelers are there to watch and film. This location is not in the boonies, but within the city.
The world's largest urban bat colony in Austin, TX.
So long as the bats in Texas don’t pass it on to armadillos, were might be relatively safe.
