Why Flatlands Has a Bats Problem
Flatlands' mix of single-family homes, multi-family dwellings, and older residential structures near Kings Plaza and Marine Park often provide ideal entry points for bats seeking shelter. The neighborhood's tree-lined streets and proximity to green spaces make bat encounters more common, especially in attics and eaves of homes along Avenue U and Flatbush Avenue.
Why Choose Us for Bat Removal & Exclusion in Flatlands
Bat removal is strictly regulated under New York State law β bats may not be killed, and removal must use exclusion methods during approved windows outside maternity season (Juneβmid-August). Our technicians β licensed or working under the direct supervision of a licensed applicator β 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 β terms depend on the service and are confirmed on the call.
