Why Bed-Stuy Has a Bats Problem
From the landmark Restoration Plaza to the tree-lined streets near Herbert Von King Park, Bed-Stuy's century-old brownstones often have gaps in soffits, loose roof shingles, and unused chimneys that attract bats. The neighborhood's dense residential architecture requires specialized exclusion techniques that preserve the historic character while effectively preventing bat re-entry.
Why Choose Us for Bat Removal & Exclusion in Bed-Stuy
Bat removal is strictly regulated under New York State law — bats may not be killed, and removal must use exclusion methods during approved windows outside maternity season (June–mid-August). Our technicians — licensed or working under the direct supervision of a licensed applicator — inspect your home or building for all entry points, paying particular attention to ridge caps, gable vents, soffit gaps, and chimney flashing where bats typically enter. We install one-way exclusion devices over primary entry points during the legal exclusion window, allowing bats to exit but not re-enter, then return to seal all openings permanently with caulk, hardware cloth, and foam once bats have vacated. Every service includes a service agreement — terms depend on the service and are confirmed on the call.

Bat Removal & Exclusion in Bed-Stuy — FAQs
How much does bat removal cost in Bed-Stuy?▾
Brownstones and multi-story buildings may require additional work. We provide detailed pricing during your phone consultation before any work begins.
Is bat removal legal in Brooklyn?▾
Yes, but bats are protected species in New York, so removal must be done humanely and legally. Best Pest Control NYC follows all state and local regulations, using exclusion methods that allow bats to leave but not return. We never harm bats and time our services to avoid maternity seasons when flightless young are present.
How do bats get into Bed-Stuy brownstones?▾
Bats can squeeze through openings as small as 3/8 of an inch. In Bed-Stuy's historic buildings, common entry points include gaps around chimneys, deteriorated soffits and fascia boards, loose roof shingles, attic vents, and spaces where additions meet original structures. Our thorough inspection identifies all potential entry points for complete exclusion.
How long does bat exclusion take in Bedford-Stuyvesant?▾
The exclusion process typically takes 3-7 days after installation of one-way exit devices, allowing all bats to leave naturally. Complete sealing and cleanup may take 1-2 weeks total depending on your building's size and the extent of the infestation. We then provide follow-up inspections to ensure your Bed-Stuy home remains bat-free.
