Why not cull the bats?

Interesting, is it not? Thousands of fruit bats that refuse to live in the bush have joined us in suburbia. The entirety of our suburb is their toilet. As we watch T. V. in our houses, the filthy fetid smell pervades. If they were rats the authorities would have no hesitation in an eradication program. Let us be honest, they are just rats that have had flying lessons. As treasured native animals, I presume conservation people or ‘greenies’ are opposed to culling. They refuse to cull them, but are happy to cull any amount of trees and forest ecosystem at great cost.
