Bat Removal & Exclusion in Long Island City, Queens

Our pricing covers complete inspection, humane bat exclusion using one-way devices, sealing all entry points, attic cleanup if needed, and sanitization. Smaller single-entry properties typically fall at the lower end ($900-$1,200), while multi-story buildings, commercial spaces, or properties with extensive damage and multiple colonies reach the higher range ($1,800-$2,500). Each Long Island City property receives a detailed estimate after our thorough inspection.

Yes, Long Island City experiences regular bat activity, particularly in older industrial conversions and waterfront properties near Gantry Plaza and the East River. Big Brown Bats and Little Brown Bats frequently roost in attics, behind siding, and in ventilation gaps of both historic and modern LIC buildings. The neighborhood's green spaces and proximity to water attract insects, which in turn attract bat populations seeking feeding grounds and shelter.

Most Long Island City bat exclusion projects are completed in 1-3 days for initial installation of one-way exclusion devices and sealing work. However, the devices must remain in place for 3-7 days to ensure all bats exit safely, as they're protected under New York law. We return to remove devices and complete final sealing once all bats have departed. Larger commercial buildings or extensive infestations may require 2-3 weeks for complete resolution.

Bat exclusion in Long Island City is restricted during maternity season (approximately May 1 - August 15) when flightless pups are present, as separating mothers from young is illegal under New York wildlife protection laws. The best times for exclusion are early spring (March-April) or fall (late August-October). If you discover bats during restricted periods, we can perform emergency sealing of interior spaces while scheduling full exclusion for the legal window.
