      I gotcha, I thought you were saying that bats would suffer if the mosquitoes were eliminated.

      Yes, anything we do to improve bat populations would be good for a variety of reasons. But I doubt that any one bat species would make a dent in the specific mosquitoes that act as vectors for disease. Plus, if you start introducing bat species to non-native habitats, you run the risk of repeating the mosquitofish catastrophe.
