Bat Removal & Exclusion in Lenox Hill, Manhattan
Lenox Hill's elegant townhomes and pre-war apartment buildings can sometimes harbor unwanted bat colonies in attics, chimneys, and roof voids.

We use humane, legally compliant methods to safely remove bats and prevent their return.
Why Lenox Hill Has a Bats Problem
Lenox Hill's proximity to Central Park and the mix of historic buildings near Lexington Avenue and Park Avenue create ideal roosting conditions for bats seeking entry through deteriorated masonry and roof gaps. The neighborhood's mature trees and green spaces attract insects that draw bat populations to nearby residential and commercial structures.
Why Choose Us for Bat Removal & Exclusion in Lenox Hill
Bat removal is strictly regulated under New York State law β bats may not be killed, and removal must use exclusion methods during approved windows outside maternity season (Juneβmid-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.
