Why Rutherford Has a Bats Problem
Rutherford's tree-lined streets, historic Victorian homes, and proximity to the Passaic River create ideal conditions for bat colonies seeking shelter in attics, chimneys, and roof spaces. Properties near Lincoln Park and the older neighborhoods around Union Avenue are particularly susceptible to bat intrusions during spring and fall migration periods.
Why Choose Us for Bat Removal & Exclusion in Rutherford
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.
