Why Hudson Heights Has a Bats Problem
Hudson Heights' elevated terrain and proximity to natural areas like Fort Tryon Park and Inwood Hill Park make it particularly susceptible to bat activity, especially in older apartment buildings and historic homes along Cabrini Boulevard. The neighborhood's mix of pre-war architecture and hillside properties often feature the roof gaps, attic spaces, and ventilation openings that bats seek for roosting sites.
Why Choose Us for Bat Removal & Exclusion in Hudson Heights
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 Hudson Heights — FAQs
How much does bat removal cost in Hudson Heights?▾
We can discuss your situation and walk through pricing on a free phone consultation before beginning any work.
Is bat removal legal in New York City?▾
Yes, but it must be done humanely and in compliance with NYC and New York State regulations. Bats are protected species, so removal must occur outside of maternity season (June-August) when flightless young may be present. Our technicians — licensed by NYS DEC or working under the direct supervision of a licensed applicator — follow all legal requirements for safe, humane bat exclusion.
What are signs of bats in my Hudson Heights home?▾
Common signs include squeaking or scratching sounds at dusk or dawn, droppings (guano) in attics or near entry points, grease marks around openings, strong ammonia-like odors, and seeing bats enter or exit your home at twilight. If you notice any of these signs, contact us immediately for an inspection.
How long does the bat exclusion process take?▾
The complete bat exclusion process typically takes 2-4 weeks, depending on colony size and weather conditions. We install one-way exclusion devices that allow bats to leave but not return, then seal all entry points once we confirm all bats have exited. We also provide cleanup and sanitation services to remove guano and restore affected areas.
