Good question! – I am unknowing but I think we would have a great many insects to deal with. Mosquitoes among them! This comment helped me to think to find out – thank you – and indeed: https://www.batswithoutborders.org/role-of-bats-in-our-ecosystems.html https://www.batswithoutborders.org/role-of-bats-in-our-ecosy...

Another interesting question is, what if we could wipe out all viruses? What would go wrong? I suspect that we know relatively little about the systemic role of viruses in the biosphere. It's imaginable that they play a pervasive role in the gradual transformation of the world's genetic code.
