Bat Removal & Exclusion in Washington Heights, Manhattan

Washington Heights has many pre-war buildings with older architecture that develops gaps in rooflines, chimneys, and siding over time. Combined with the neighborhood's proximity to Fort Tryon Park and the Hudson River, these structures provide ideal roosting spots for bats seeking shelter. Attics, wall voids, and unused chimneys are particularly attractive to bat colonies.

Our bat removal process begins with a thorough inspection to identify entry points and roosting areas. We then install one-way exclusion devices that allow bats to exit but not re-enter, ensuring humane removal without harming the animals. After all bats have left, we seal all entry points and provide sanitation services to remove droppings and contamination. The entire process typically takes 3-7 days depending on colony size.
