Why Flatbush Has a Bats Problem
Flatbush's mix of century-old Victorian homes, pre-war apartment buildings, and Dutch Colonial residences creates numerous opportunities for bat roosting in attics, eaves, and chimneys. The tree-lined streets near neighborhoods like Ditmas Park and proximity to Prospect Park make this area particularly attractive to bat populations seeking shelter in residential structures.
Why Choose Us for Bat Removal & Exclusion in Flatbush
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 NYS DEC licensed technicians 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. Our 30-day guarantee covers any bat re-entry through areas we treated.

Bat Removal & Exclusion in Flatbush — FAQs
How much does bat removal cost in Flatbush?▾
Bat removal and exclusion services in Flatbush typically range from $900 to $2,500, depending on the size of the colony, number of entry points, and the complexity of your building's structure. We provide free inspections and detailed estimates before beginning any work.
Is bat removal legal in NYC?▾
Yes, but bats are protected wildlife in New York, so removal must be done humanely by licensed professionals. We use one-way exclusion devices that allow bats to leave but not return, and we never harm or relocate bats. Our methods comply fully with all NYC and state wildlife regulations.
What are signs of bats in my Flatbush home?▾
Common signs include squeaking or scratching sounds at dusk or dawn, dark staining near entry points, accumulation of guano (droppings) in attics or near walls, and seeing bats emerge from your roof or chimney at sunset. You may also notice a musty ammonia-like odor from bat waste.
How long does bat exclusion take in Flatbush homes?▾
The exclusion process typically takes 2-4 weeks from initial installation to final sealing. We install one-way exclusion devices and monitor to ensure all bats have left before permanently sealing entry points. The timeline may be longer during maternity season (May-August) when baby bats are present, as we wait until young bats can fly.
