Why Hicksville Has a Bats Problem
Hicksville's mix of mid-century homes, split-level houses, and commercial buildings near the LIRR station often provide ideal entry points for Little Brown Bats and Big Brown Bats seeking roost sites. The tree-lined streets around Old Country Road and the older structures throughout the community frequently experience bat intrusions in attics, soffits, and roof vents, especially during spring and fall migration periods.
Why Choose Us for Bat Removal & Exclusion in Hicksville
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 Hicksville — FAQs
How much does bat removal cost in Hicksville?▾
Bat removal and exclusion services in Hicksville typically range from $900 to $2,500 depending on the colony size, number of entry points, and extent of damage. This includes full inspection, humane exclusion using one-way doors, sealing all entry points, and initial cleanup. Additional costs may apply for extensive guano removal or attic restoration.
Is bat removal legal in Hicksville, NY?▾
Yes, but bat removal in New York must follow strict regulations. Bats are protected species and cannot be harmed or removed during maternity season (roughly May 1 - August 15) when flightless young are present. Best Pest Control NYC uses only humane exclusion methods that comply with all state and federal wildlife protection laws.
How do I know if I have bats in my Hicksville home?▾
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 emerge from your home at sunset. Many Hicksville homeowners first notice bats flying around their roofline during evening hours between April and October.
How long does the bat exclusion process take?▾
The complete bat exclusion process typically takes 3-5 days for installation of one-way exclusion devices, followed by a 3-7 day monitoring period to ensure all bats have left. After confirming the colony has vacated, we permanently seal all entry points. The entire process usually takes 1-2 weeks, though larger infestations may require additional time.
