The Upper West Side's mix of historic brownstones, pre-war apartment buildings, and tree-lined streets creates ideal roosting conditions for bats seeking shelter in attics, chimneys, and wall voids. Our bat removal and exclusion services safely and humanely remove bats from your Upper West Side property while preventing future infestations. We specialize in protecting Manhattan's residential and commercial structures with proven exclusion techniques that comply with all NYC wildlife regulations.
Why Upper West Side Has a Bats Problem
Upper West Side properties, particularly those near Central Park and Riverside Park or along historic blocks between Columbus Avenue and West End Avenue, frequently experience bat activity due to proximity to green spaces and older building construction with accessible entry points. The neighborhood's classic brownstones, co-ops, and landmark buildings require specialized care to ensure bat exclusion work respects architectural integrity while effectively sealing entry points.
Why Choose Us for Bat Removal & Exclusion in Upper West 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.
