Almost no molossids have population estimates, though the Mexican free-tailed bat is estimated to have a population of nearly 100 million, as one of the most numerous mammals in the world, [2] while seven species—the blunt-eared bat, equatorial dog-faced bat, Fijian mastiff bat, La Touche's free-tailed bat, Natal free-tailed bat, São Tomé ...
Bat detectors pick up various signals in the ultrasound range, not all of which are made by bats. To distinguish bat and bat species it is important to recognise non-bat species. Captured bats can be exactly identified in the hand but in many countries a licence is required before bats can be captured.
Insectivorous bats, such as this Mexican free-tailed bat, have historically been the most important producers of bat guano.

E. distanti is a scavenger, taking advantage of any animal or vegetable matter available, picking out energy-rich parts of food presented to them. In Tamana Cave, Trinidad, E. distanti wait buried beneath guano nightly, with antennae extended above the surface, until local insectivorous bats return from foraging around 3:00 a.m., then emerge to consume the fresh guano droppings.

Neither species is listed as endangered, but Oregon has both on a list of species in need of conservation attention. Utah has done the same, but only for the Townsend big-eared bat.
