Bat Removal & Exclusion in Little Italy, Manhattan

Little Italy's older buildings often have small gaps in rooflines, deteriorating mortar, ventilation openings, and architectural features that create ideal bat entry points. Bats need only a 3/8-inch gap to enter, and many pre-war structures have such openings. The neighborhood's dense urban setting also provides limited natural roosting sites, making buildings attractive alternatives.

Yes, but it must be done humanely and in compliance with wildlife protection laws. Bats are protected species in New York, so removal must be performed through exclusion methods that allow bats to leave but not re-enter. Our licensed professionals use one-way exclusion devices and seal entry points only during appropriate seasons, avoiding maternity periods when young bats cannot fly.

Our service includes a thorough inspection of your Little Italy property, identification of all entry points, installation of one-way exclusion devices, complete sealing of entry points after bats have left, attic cleanup and decontamination if needed, and a warranty on our work. The price varies based on the size of your building, number of entry points, colony size, and extent of cleanup required.

The exclusion process typically takes 2-4 weeks from initial installation to complete sealing. One-way devices allow bats to exit over several days to ensure the entire colony leaves. After confirming all bats have departed, we permanently seal all entry points. The timeline can vary depending on colony size and building complexity, but we work efficiently to minimize disruption to your Little Italy home or business.
