Bat Removal & Exclusion in Midtown, Manhattan

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 times of year (avoiding maternity season from May-August) and must use exclusion methods that allow bats to leave but not return. Our licensed technicians ensure full compliance with all local and state laws.

Bat removal and exclusion services in Midtown typically range from $900 to $2,500, depending on the size of the colony, number of entry points, building height and accessibility, and extent of exclusion work needed. We provide free inspections and detailed quotes before beginning any work.

The complete bat exclusion process typically takes 3-7 days after the initial inspection. We install one-way exclusion devices that allow bats to exit but not return, monitor the situation to ensure all bats have left, then permanently seal all entry points. Follow-up inspections are included to guarantee the problem is fully resolved.

Common signs include squeaking or scratching sounds at dusk or dawn, droppings (guano) accumulating near entry points or on windowsills, brown staining around small openings in walls or rooflines, and seeing bats entering or exiting your building at twilight. Bats can enter through openings as small as 3/8 of an inch, making early detection important.
