Why DUMBO Has a Bats Problem
DUMBO's cobblestone streets and converted 19th-century factories along the East River create numerous entry points where bats commonly roost in attic spaces, old ventilation systems, and behind the iconic cast-iron facades. The neighborhood's proximity to Brooklyn Bridge Park and the waterfront attracts insect populations that draw bats to the area, making professional exclusion essential for property owners.
Why Choose Us for Bat Removal & Exclusion in DUMBO
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.

Bat Removal & Exclusion in DUMBO — FAQs
Why are bats common in DUMBO buildings?▾
DUMBO's historic warehouse conversions and older brick buildings feature many gaps, cracks, and architectural details that provide ideal bat entry points. The waterfront location attracts insects that bats feed on, and the tall buildings offer perfect roosting heights away from ground predators.
What does the bat exclusion process involve in DUMBO lofts?▾
Our process includes a thorough inspection of your property to locate entry points, installation of one-way exclusion devices that allow bats to exit but not return, sealing of all potential entry points, cleanup of guano if present, and follow-up inspections. We take special care with DUMBO's historic building materials and architectural features.
Is bat removal legal in NYC, and when can it be done?▾
Bat removal must follow strict NYC and New York State guidelines. Exclusion cannot be performed during maternity season (roughly May through August) when flightless pups would be trapped inside.
