Bats carry Rabies.
Yes, and ...
Estimates from studies show that some bats eat more than 70% of their weight in insects each night and some pregnant females at 100% of their body weight (thats a lot of insects!). Another way of looking at it, taken from an example on the Bat Conservation International website, is that: A single little brown bat can eat up to 1,000 mosquito-sized insects in a single hour. --Source ( http://www.batswithoutborders.org/role-of-bats-in-our-ecosystems.html )
Net plus in my book.

So do skunks, and coons and other animals.
Go on up to the north central USA and camp out in the summer now. You’ll wish that those bats were still around.
