Why Sheepshead Bay Has a Bats Problem
Sheepshead Bay's mix of pre-war apartment buildings, single-family homes near Emmons Avenue, and older structures along the waterfront create ideal roosting spots for bats seeking shelter. The area's proximity to the bay and Marine Park provides natural bat habitat, making professional exclusion essential for properties from Ocean Avenue to the Belt Parkway.
Why Choose Us for Bat Removal & Exclusion in Sheepshead Bay
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 technicians — licensed or working under the direct supervision of a licensed applicator — 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 — terms depend on the service and are confirmed on the call.

Is bat removal legal in Brooklyn?▾
Yes, but bats are protected wildlife in New York, so removal must be done humanely and during appropriate seasons. Our licensed professionals — licensed by NYS DEC or working under the direct supervision of a licensed applicator — follow all state and local regulations, using exclusion methods that allow bats to leave safely without harming them. We never use extermination methods, ensuring full legal compliance.
What are signs of bats in my Sheepshead Bay home?▾
Common signs include squeaking or scratching sounds at dusk or dawn, droppings (guano) in attics or near entry points, grease marks around openings, strong ammonia-like odors, and seeing bats entering or exiting your property at twilight. Sheepshead Bay's older homes are particularly susceptible to bat entry through damaged soffits, vents, and roof gaps.
How long does bat exclusion take in Sheepshead Bay?▾
The complete bat exclusion process typically takes 3-7 days, depending on colony size and property conditions. Initial inspection and one-way door installation happen first, allowing bats to exit safely over several days. Once all bats have left, we seal all entry points permanently and perform cleanup.
