Kuhl's pipistrelle is found in wide areas of the African continent, Arabia, southern Europe, and as far as Pakistan. 
It is one of the most common species in Israel, and its populations are apparently increasing as a result of human settlements: it has been observed in most parts of the country, except in remote and isolated desert areas. It often enters dwellings and forms colonies in tiled roofs, cracks in houses, and the like. Bats can be seen in the heart of the large cities in the country.

It is not known how populations of other bat species are affected by its spread.

Along the edge of the pipistrelle's wing membrane, between the fifth finger and the leg, a white stripe is visible, hence "white-edged". Sometimes the stripe is barely visible and at times is even completely absent.
