Abstract
The latrines contained cockroaches, mostly American cockroach I Periplaneta americana i , and other insects and sometimes also insect predators such as geckoes I Hemidactylus i spp. Bats in Kenyan pit latrines: Non-invasive sampling by photography Bats seek out a variety of daytime retreats such as caves, rock crevices and hollow trees, but there are also some that use anthropogenic structures such as buildings, bridges and culverts (Kunz, 1982). In Kenya, we have observed three bat species using the lower part of pit latrines, the pit, for roosting and breeding. [Extracted from the article]
