Yes, our bat removal methods are completely legal and humane, following all New York State wildlife regulations. We use one-way exclusion devices that allow bats to leave naturally but prevent re-entry, never trapping or harming bats. We also avoid exclusion during maternity season (May-August) when flightless pups could be present.

Common signs include squeaking or scratching sounds at dusk or dawn, dark stains near entry points, accumulation of guano (bat droppings) in attics or around your property's exterior, and seeing bats flying around your roofline at sunset. A strong ammonia-like odor from bat urine is another telltale sign of an infestation.

The complete bat exclusion process typically takes 2-4 weeks from initial inspection to final seal-up. After installing one-way exclusion devices, we monitor for 1-2 weeks to ensure all bats have left before permanently sealing entry points. We then provide attic cleanup, insulation replacement if needed, and a warranty against re-entry.
