Why Mill Basin Has a Bats Problem
Mill Basin's tree-lined streets and proximity to Marine Park and Jamaica Bay make it an attractive area for bat populations seeking roosting sites in attics, soffits, and chimneys of the neighborhood's classic brick homes and newer construction. The area's many waterfront properties and mature landscaping can provide ideal habitats for bats, making professional exclusion services essential for long-term protection.
Why Choose Us for Bat Removal & Exclusion in Mill Basin
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 technicians β licensed or working under the direct supervision of a licensed applicator β 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 β terms depend on the service and are confirmed on the call.
