Bechstein's bat is also recorded to enter artificial nest boxes, but rarely roosts in human buildings. Over the winter, Bechstein's bats hibernate underground and in tree holes.

Bats represent a convenient mammal to exploit as they roost communally, returning to the same roost regularly. It is perhaps to avoid the parasites that some species of bat regularly change roosts. The subfamily Haematosiphoninae use birds in the swift and swallow families, Apodidae and Hirundinidae . [ 4 ]
Bats fly mostly at night but some indication of the species by sight at dusk or dawn can be given by size, flight patterns and proximity to known roosts. An example is when doing a bat roost emergence count at dusk when the likely species is further confirmed using an acoustic bat detector.

However, breeding evening bats have been found as far north as Michigan and as far west as the 100th meridian. [13] Evening bats roost in a variety of structures, including Spanish moss, under bark, in tree cavities, and in buildings. [18] For foraging habitat, evening bats in Georgia prefer pine forest, riparian zones, and open fields. [19]
