Why Scarsdale Has a Bats Problem
Scarsdale's tree-lined streets, proximity to the Bronx River Parkway Reservation, and abundance of mature landscaping create ideal habitats for bat populations seeking shelter in residential structures. The village's many pre-war homes with slate roofs, decorative gables, and spacious attics are particularly vulnerable to bat colonization, especially during spring and fall migration periods.
Why Choose Us for Bat Removal & Exclusion in Scarsdale
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 Scarsdale — FAQs
How much does bat removal cost in Scarsdale?▾
Bat removal and exclusion services in Scarsdale typically range from $900 to $2,500, depending on the size of the colony, entry points, and the complexity of your home's architecture. We provide free inspections and detailed estimates before beginning any work.
Is bat removal legal in Scarsdale and Westchester County?▾
Yes, but bat removal must be performed humanely and in compliance with New York State wildlife laws. Bats are protected species and cannot be harmed. Our exclusion methods allow bats to leave safely while preventing re-entry, and we observe seasonal restrictions during maternity season (June-July) when flightless young are present.
What are the signs of bats in my Scarsdale home?▾
Common signs include scratching or squeaking sounds in the attic at dusk or dawn, dark staining near entry points, accumulation of guano (droppings) in attics or near foundations, and sightings of bats entering or exiting your home at twilight. You may also notice a strong ammonia-like odor from bat urine in affected areas.
How long does the bat exclusion process take?▾
The complete bat exclusion process typically takes 2-4 weeks from initial inspection to final sealing. We install one-way exclusion devices that allow bats to exit but not return, monitor for activity to ensure all bats have left, then permanently seal all entry points. Follow-up inspections and attic cleanup can be scheduled as needed.
