In Venezuela, Handley (1976) collected several species of Eptesicus in a variety of habitats, but mainly in moist, wooded areas; most roosting bats were found in holes in trees or logs. For North America, Banfield (1974) wrote that E. fuscus was originally a forest dweller, using hollow trees for roosting during warmer months and hibernating in caves in the winter.

This species is normally a forest dweller, but it does not hesitate to utilize attics and crevices in buildings, caves, and crevices in rocks for daytime retreats. Favorite roosts are under the loose bark of dead trees and in cavities of trees.

Населяют ландшафты от пустынь до тропических дождевых лесов и тайги, в горах до 2300 м над уровнем моря. Селятся в постройках человека и в дуплах деревьев, трещинах скал. Насекомоядны, ловят добычу в воздухе, или собирают с земли. Дальних миграций не совершают. В умеренных широтах зимуют в пещерах, подземных сооружениях и постройках человека.
