Why Prospect Lefferts Gardens Has a Bats Problem
The historic Victorian and brownstone homes throughout Prospect Lefferts Gardens, particularly near Prospect Park and along tree-lined streets like Maple and Midwood, often provide ideal entry points for bats seeking roosting sites. The neighborhood's proximity to Prospect Park creates a favorable environment for bat populations, making professional exclusion services essential for protecting these beautiful century-old structures.
Why Choose Us for Bat Removal & Exclusion in Prospect Lefferts Gardens
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.

We provide detailed quotes before beginning any work—call for a free phone consultation and a price on the call.
Is bat removal legal in NYC?▾
Yes, but it must be done humanely and in compliance with New York State wildlife laws. Bats are protected species, so removal must be performed by licensed professionals — licensed by NYS DEC or working under the direct supervision of a licensed applicator — using exclusion methods that allow bats to leave but not re-enter. Certain times of year, particularly during maternity season (May-August), have restrictions to protect flightless young bats.
How do I know if I have bats in my Prospect Lefferts Gardens home?▾
Common signs include squeaking or scratching sounds at dusk or dawn, droppings (guano) in attics or near entry points, brown staining around gaps in siding or rooflines, and seeing bats enter or exit your home at sunset. You may also notice a strong ammonia-like odor from accumulated guano.
How long does the bat exclusion process take?▾
The complete bat exclusion process typically takes 2-4 weeks. After the initial inspection and sealing of entry points with one-way exclusion devices, we monitor for 1-2 weeks to ensure all bats have left. Once confirmed, we seal all remaining openings and perform cleanup and decontamination of affected areas as needed.
