The sounds of those bats that I did record were in the 12kHz to 15kHz 
range. 44.1kHz sample rate is sufficient. I did use two Rode NT1 
microphones, connected to a Tascam DR-70D recorder. If I record the 
ultrasound in the recorder, I use 48kHz sample rate. If live processing 
is required, I connect the Tascam's output to my notebook's audio input, 
which has only 44.1kHz sample rate. That works as well. It is important 
that you disable the low pass filter in the Windows control panel 
(properties of the microphone).
