Why Elmhurst Has a Bats Problem
Elmhurst's mix of pre-war apartment buildings, single-family homes near Queens Center Mall, and older structures along Broadway and Roosevelt Avenue often provide ideal entry points for bats seeking shelter. The neighborhood's mature trees and proximity to parks like Elmhurst Park create environments where bat colonies can establish themselves in attics, chimneys, and wall voids.
Why Choose Us for Bat Removal & Exclusion in Elmhurst
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 NYS DEC licensed technicians 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. Our 30-day guarantee covers any bat re-entry through areas we treated.
