Bat introduction involves the artificial establishment of a population of bats in areas where they have been extirpated. Bat introduction should be considered where certain prey species such as fungus gnats are abundant enough to support a predetermined bat population.

The introduction of bats increases biodiversity within the home. There is an increase in the new-growth of peppers and other plants because of the reduction in gnat numbers. The peppers are able to recover because not only is the gnat population reduced because of predation due to bats, but bat guano is also produced and distributed. This process is known as top predators regulating the lower sections of the trophic pyramid.
