Why Fordham Has a Bats Problem
Fordham's mix of pre-war apartment buildings, single-family homes near Fordham University, and historic structures along the Grand Concourse creates numerous entry points where bats often roost in attics, chimneys, and wall voids. The tree-lined streets near Bronx Park and older architectural features throughout the neighborhood make professional bat exclusion essential for property owners seeking long-term solutions.
Why Choose Us for Bat Removal & Exclusion in Fordham
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.
