Why Elmont Has a Bats Problem
Elmont's mix of traditional single-family homes, multi-family residences near the Queens border, and properties surrounding Belmont Park Racetrack often experience bat intrusions, particularly in older attics and ventilation systems. The area's mature trees and proximity to green spaces make it an attractive habitat for bat colonies seeking roosting sites in residential structures.
Why Choose Us for Bat Removal & Exclusion in Elmont
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.
