Why Prospect Heights Has a Bats Problem
Prospect Heights' beautiful tree-lined streets and historic brownstones near Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden create ideal conditions for bat roosting, especially in older buildings with accessible eaves and attics. The neighborhood's mix of 19th-century architecture and proximity to green spaces means bats frequently seek shelter in residential chimneys, roof spaces, and behind decorative cornices.
Why Choose Us for Bat Removal & Exclusion in Prospect Heights
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.

Bat Removal & Exclusion in Prospect Heights — FAQs
What does the bat removal process involve in Prospect Heights homes?▾
Our bat removal process begins with a thorough inspection to identify entry points and roosting areas. We then install one-way exclusion devices that allow bats to exit but prevent re-entry, followed by sealing all potential access points. Finally, we clean and decontaminate affected areas and provide monitoring to ensure complete exclusion.
Why does bat removal cost between $900 and $2,500?▾
The cost varies based on colony size, number of entry points, building height, and extent of exclusion work needed. Smaller jobs on accessible single-family homes start around $900, while larger infestations in multi-story brownstones requiring extensive sealing and cleanup can reach $2,500. We provide free inspections and detailed estimates before any work begins.
When is bat season in Prospect Heights, and when should exclusion be done?▾
Bats are most active in Prospect Heights from April through October. However, exclusion work cannot be performed during maternity season (June through mid-August) when flightless baby bats are present. The ideal times for bat exclusion are early spring (April-May) or late summer through fall (late August-October).
Are bats dangerous, and do they damage Prospect Heights homes?▾
While bats rarely attack humans, their droppings (guano) can cause serious health risks including histoplasmosis, and their urine can stain ceilings and create foul odors. Bats can also damage insulation, attract parasites, and their accumulation of waste can compromise structural integrity over time. Professional removal and cleanup is essential for health and property protection.
