The hog-nosed bat has been recorded mainly from arid habitats at elevations of 600-2,400 meters. It roosts in caves, tunnels, and buildings, usually in fairly well-illuminated locations, and has been found under the exposed roots of trees in a shaded area. Indirect evidence indicates that colonies in southern Arizona migrate south into Mexico for the winter months. The diet consists of fruit, pollen, nectar, and probably insects.

These bats inhabit deep canyons where they use caves and mine tunnels as day roosts. They also have been found in buildings and often are associated with big-eared bats (Plecotus).
