Yes, but bat removal in New Jersey must follow strict wildlife protection laws. Bats cannot be harmed or removed during maternity season (May through August) when flightless young are present. Our licensed bat removal specialists use legal exclusion methods that allow bats to leave naturally while preventing re-entry, ensuring full compliance with New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection regulations.

Bats enter Fort Lee properties through surprisingly small openings—gaps as narrow as 3/8 inch around chimneys, roof vents, fascia boards, and architectural details common in both older Fort Lee homes and modern buildings. The area's proximity to the Palisades provides natural bat roosting sites, and bats often migrate into nearby residential and commercial structures seeking warm, dark spaces for roosting or raising young.

Our bat exclusion process begins with a thorough inspection to locate all entry points and assess colony size. We then install one-way exclusion devices that allow bats to exit but prevent re-entry, typically leaving these in place for 3-7 days. After confirming all bats have left, we permanently seal all entry points with durable materials, perform attic cleanup and sanitation if needed, and provide warranty protection against future bat intrusions.
