Yes, but it must be done humanely and according to NYC and New York State regulations. Bats are protected species, so removal must be conducted by licensed professionals — licensed by NYS DEC or working under the direct supervision of a licensed applicator — using exclusion methods that allow bats to leave but not return. Timing is also important—bat removal cannot be performed during maternity season (roughly May through August) when flightless young are present.

Common signs include seeing bats enter or exit your building at dusk, hearing scratching or squeaking sounds in attics or walls, finding small dark droppings (guano) near entry points, or noticing a strong ammonia-like odor. Crown Heights' older buildings often have bats in chimneys, attic spaces, or behind exterior siding and trim.

Our process begins with a thorough inspection to locate all entry points and assess the colony size. We then install one-way exclusion devices that allow bats to exit but not return, seal all secondary entry points, and clean affected areas. After all bats have left (typically 3-7 days), we remove the devices and permanently seal all openings. We also provide attic restoration and sanitation services if needed.
