Why College Point Has a Bats Problem
College Point's mix of single-family homes near Poppenhusen Avenue, waterfront properties along the East River, and older residential buildings near St. Fidelis Church provide numerous entry points for bats seeking shelter. The area's proximity to green spaces like College Point Fields and mature tree coverage make bat encounters increasingly common in attics, chimneys, and vents throughout the neighborhood.
Why Choose Us for Bat Removal & Exclusion in College Point
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.

If you notice any of these signs, contact us immediately for an inspection.
Is bat removal in College Point safe and humane?▾

Pricing depends on the severity of infestation, number of entry points, and building size. The service includes full inspection, humane bat exclusion, sealing all entry points, attic cleanup if needed. We provide free phone consultations and transparent pricing before any work begins.

Most bat exclusion projects take 1-3 days for installation, but exclusion devices remain in place for 3-7 days to ensure all bats have exited.
