Why Forest Hills Has a Bats Problem
Forest Hills' mature trees and classic early-20th-century architecture, including the charming Tudor and Colonial homes in Forest Hills Gardens, can provide ideal roosting spots for bats in attics, chimneys, and eaves. The neighborhood's proximity to Forest Park and abundant green spaces means bats are a common wildlife concern for homeowners seeking to protect their property values and family health.
Why Choose Us for Bat Removal & Exclusion in Forest Hills
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 technicians — licensed or working under the direct supervision of a licensed applicator — 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 — terms depend on the service and are confirmed on the call.

Is bat removal legal in New York?▾
Yes, but it must be done humanely and during specific times of year. New York law prohibits bat exclusion during maternity season (May 1 - August 15) when flightless young bats may be present. A Best Pest Control NYC technician — licensed by the NYS DEC or working under the direct supervision of a licensed applicator — ensures all removal work complies with state and federal wildlife protection regulations.
What are signs of bats in my Forest Hills home?▾
Common signs include squeaking or scratching sounds in attics or walls at dusk or dawn, droppings (guano) in attic spaces or near entry points, staining around potential entry holes, and seeing bats entering or exiting your home at twilight. A strong ammonia-like odor may also indicate a bat colony.
How do you prevent bats from returning?▾
We use one-way exclusion devices that allow bats to exit but not re-enter, then seal all entry points with durable materials once all bats have left. We inspect and seal potential entries as small as 3/8 inch, including gaps in soffits, vents, chimneys, and roof edges.
