Bat Removal & Exclusion in Upper East Side, Manhattan
Bats in your Upper East Side home or building require immediate professional attention.

We handle everything from inspection to complete exclusion, ensuring bats are removed safely and prevented from returning.
Why Upper East Side Has a Bats Problem
Upper East Side buildings, particularly the elegant pre-war structures along Park Avenue and Fifth Avenue, often have architectural features like decorative cornices, chimneys, and attic spaces that attract roosting bats. Proximity to Central Park and the East River greenways means bat activity is common in this area, making professional exclusion services essential for property owners and residents.
Why Choose Us for Bat Removal & Exclusion in Upper East Side
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.

Is bat removal in NYC humane and legal?▾

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, we install one-way exclusion devices and monitor to ensure all bats have left.
