They don't need protection, we get dive bombed in the pool at night by bats, they are always landing in the pool. Ugh, they give me rigors.

But when they migrate south of the border for the winter, fear and superstition drive locals to kill them, even though they are crucial to the tequila industry.... "All the tequila we have today we owe to the bats who have been pollinating the agaves for thousands of years. The bats cross-pollinate the agave, a cactus that produces tequila juice. Without the pollination, the cactus will not produce healthy plants."
Save the bats! Tequila is at risk without them!
