Bat Removal & Exclusion in Ossining, Westchester

Our bat removal process includes a thorough inspection of your Ossining property to locate all entry points and roosting areas, humane bat exclusion using one-way devices that allow bats to exit but not re-enter, complete sealing of all potential entry points with durable materials, attic cleanup and decontamination if needed, and a warranty on our exclusion work. The entire process typically takes 2-4 weeks to ensure all bats have safely departed.

Bat removal pricing varies based on the size of your Ossining property, the number of entry points requiring sealing, colony size, accessibility of roosting areas, and extent of cleanup needed. Smaller jobs with single-entry points may cost around $900, while larger homes with multiple access points, significant attic contamination, or difficult-to-reach areas may reach $2,500. We provide detailed estimates after inspection.

In Ossining, bat exclusion work must avoid the maternity season from May 1st through August 15th when flightless baby bats are present, as New York State law prohibits separating mothers from pups. The best times for bat removal are spring (before May) and fall (after mid-August). However, we can perform inspections and prepare exclusion plans year-round and schedule work for the appropriate season.

Yes, bats are quite common in Ossining due to the area's abundant tree cover, proximity to the Hudson River, and prevalence of older homes with accessible attics, soffits, and chimneys. Little brown bats and big brown bats frequently roost in residential and commercial structures throughout Westchester County. Professional exclusion is essential, as bats can carry rabies and their droppings (guano) can pose health risks and cause property damage over time.
