Test the efficacy of using whole-room ultra-violet (UV) light treatment on the fungus that causes white-nose syndrome in 10 mines that host hibernating populations of little brown bats in Michigan, New Jersey and New York. Project will test the ability of commercially available technology to benefit bats by killing or slowing growth of the fungus in summer, when bats are not present.
