We ensure complete bat removal and seal all entry points to prevent future infestations.
Why Kips Bay Has a Bats Problem
Kips Bay's mix of pre-war apartment buildings, converted townhouses, and newer residential towers creates numerous opportunities for bat entry through damaged vents, chimneys, and facade gaps. The area's proximity to the East River and established tree cover along side streets makes it particularly attractive to urban bat populations seeking shelter.
Why Choose Us for Bat Removal & Exclusion in Kips Bay
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.

Call for a free phone consultation to discuss pricing and service details before any work begins.
Are bats common in Kips Bay buildings?▾
Yes, bats are found throughout Kips Bay, particularly in older buildings with architectural features like cornices, roof gaps, and ventilation openings. Pre-war buildings and those near Murray Hill and the waterfront are especially susceptible to bat roosting in attics and wall voids.
Is bat removal in NYC legal and humane?▾
Absolutely. We follow all New York State and NYC regulations for bat removal, which require humane exclusion methods rather than extermination. Our one-way exclusion devices allow bats to leave safely but prevent re-entry, and we time our work to avoid maternity season when flightless young are present.
How long does the bat exclusion process take?▾
The typical bat exclusion process in Kips Bay takes 3-7 days for the initial installation of one-way devices, followed by a 3-7 day monitoring period to ensure all bats have departed. Complete sealing and cleanup usually occurs within 2 weeks, though complex cases in larger buildings may require additional time.
