Why Mott Haven Has a Bats Problem
Mott Haven's mix of pre-war apartment buildings, brownstones, and older residential structures along streets near St. Mary's Park and the historic Hub district often provide ideal roosting spaces for bat colonies in attics, chimneys, and wall voids. The neighborhood's proximity to the Harlem River and nearby green spaces increases the likelihood of bat activity, making professional exclusion services essential for property owners.
Why Choose Us for Bat Removal & Exclusion in Mott Haven
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 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.
