Why Jackson Heights Has a Bats Problem
Jackson Heights' pre-war garden apartments, Tudor-style homes, and multi-family buildings along Northern Boulevard and Roosevelt Avenue often provide ideal entry points for bats seeking shelter.

Why Choose Us for Bat Removal & Exclusion in Jackson Heights
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 Jackson Heights, Queens?▾
Yes, but it must be done humanely and in compliance with New York State regulations. Bats are protected species, so removal can only be performed during specific seasons (typically late summer/early fall) when young bats are able to fly. A Best Pest Control NYC technician — licensed by the NYS DEC or working under the direct supervision of a licensed applicator — ensures all work meets legal requirements.
How do I know if I have bats in my Jackson Heights home?▾
Common signs include squeaking or scratching sounds at dusk or dawn, droppings (guano) in attics or near entry points, brown staining around small openings, and seeing bats flying around your property at twilight. Bats can enter through openings as small as 3/8 of an inch, common in older Jackson Heights buildings.
What does the bat exclusion process involve?▾
Our comprehensive bat exclusion includes a thorough inspection to identify all entry points, installation of one-way exclusion devices that allow bats to leave but not return, sealing of all potential entry points, attic cleanup and sanitization if needed. The process typically takes 2-4 weeks to ensure all bats have safely exited.
