There are no mammals other than bats that can fly. All other mammals with flight-like abilities are only capable of gliding. Most bats eat insects, while others eat fruit. Bats help pollinate tropical flowers and spread fruit seeds around so new plants can grow. There are humane and effective means by which to rid your house of bats should you discover yourself with a bat infestation.
Thanks to their ability of echolocation, bats can “see” better than human beings could ever hope to. Echolocation can give bats a detailed map of their surroundings and guide them through nearly any obstacle.

Some of the horror stories are real. For instance, vampire bats actually do drink the blood of mammals and also birds, but just because they drink blood does not mean they are going to turn into Count Dracula before your eyes. Like you and I, bats drink water, only they have a very special method of hydrating themselves. The guano produced by bats is loaded with nutrients and is used for fertilizer, and it can also be used to make gunpowder.
A bat bite can carry SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome), the Nepah and Hendra virus, and of course rabies. Though cases of rabies from animal bites are quite few in the United States, most of them do come from dogs and bats.
A bat who has rabies is very ill, and likely does not understand what is happening. Due to the small size of their teeth, a bat bite can actually go unnoticed by someone who is sleeping at the time, or drunk from alcohol.
If a bat enters your home, separate it from the people in the house as best you can, and then close all of the windows but one. The bat should leave. In the case of a family of bats infesting your home, you should call a professional and not attempt to deal with the problem yourself.
