Why Eltingville Has a Bats Problem
Eltingville's mix of single-family homes near Richmond Avenue and older properties around the Blue Heron Park area often attract bats seeking roost sites in attics, chimneys, and soffits. The neighborhood's proximity to wooded areas and the Great Kills Park watershed creates ideal conditions for bat populations, making professional exclusion services essential for homeowners.
Why Choose Us for Bat Removal & Exclusion in Eltingville
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.

Bat Removal & Exclusion in Eltingville — FAQs
What does the bat removal process involve in Eltingville homes?▾
Our bat removal process begins with a thorough inspection to identify entry points and roosting areas. We then install one-way exclusion devices that allow bats to leave but prevent re-entry, followed by sealing all potential access points. After ensuring all bats have vacated, we clean contaminated areas and apply sanitization treatments to remove guano and odors.
Why does bat removal in Eltingville cost $900-$2,500?▾
Pricing depends on the size of the bat colony, number of entry points, accessibility of roosting areas, and extent of exclusion work needed. A small colony with one or two entry points typically costs $900-$1,200, while larger infestations requiring multiple exclusion points, attic cleanup, and extensive sealing work range from $1,500-$2,500. We provide free estimates with transparent pricing before beginning any work.
When is bat season in Eltingville, and when should exclusion be done?▾
Bats are most active in Eltingville from April through October. However, exclusion work cannot be performed during maternity season (June-July) when flightless pups are present, as this would trap young bats inside. The best times for bat exclusion are early spring (April-May) or late summer/fall (August-October) when all bats are mobile and can safely exit through exclusion devices.
Are bats dangerous to Eltingville residents?▾
While bats are beneficial for controlling insects, they pose health risks when roosting in homes. Bat guano can harbor histoplasmosis fungus, and bats may carry rabies. Their droppings also cause odors, staining, and structural damage over time. Professional removal is essential not only for health safety but also to prevent property damage and ensure humane treatment of the bats according to New York wildlife protection laws.
