Bat Removal & Exclusion in Pelham, Westchester

Yes, but bat removal must be performed humanely and in compliance with New York State wildlife regulations. Bats cannot be removed during maternity season (approximately May through August) when flightless young are present. Our licensed professionals ensure all work meets legal requirements and uses exclusion methods that allow bats to leave but not return.

Common signs include squeaking or scratching sounds in your attic at dusk or dawn, visible bat droppings (guano) in attics or near entry points, dark staining around eaves or vents from body oils, and seeing bats enter or exit your home at twilight. You may also notice a strong ammonia-like odor from accumulated guano.

The complete bat exclusion process typically takes 2-4 weeks in Pelham homes. After the initial inspection, we install one-way exclusion devices that allow bats to exit but not re-enter. Once we confirm all bats have left (usually 3-7 days), we permanently seal all entry points and can perform attic cleanup and sanitization to remove guano and restore insulation if needed.
