Yes, but bats are protected wildlife in New York, so removal must be done humanely using exclusion methods rather than extermination. Best Pest Control NYC follows all NYC and state regulations, using one-way exclusion devices that allow bats to leave but not re-enter during appropriate seasons.

Common signs include squeaking or scratching sounds at dusk or dawn, dark stains near entry points, accumulation of guano (droppings) in attics or on exterior walls, and seeing bats enter or exit your property at twilight. A strong ammonia-like odor may also indicate a bat colony.

The exclusion process typically takes 3-7 days for device installation, followed by a 3-7 day monitoring period to ensure all bats have exited. Complete exclusion, cleanup, and sealing usually takes 2-3 weeks total, depending on colony size and property conditions. We cannot perform exclusions during maternity season (May-August) when flightless pups are present.
