Why Sunnyside Has a Bats Problem
Sunnyside's tree-lined streets, proximity to Calvary Cemetery, and abundance of early 20th-century architecture with accessible attics and eaves make it particularly attractive to roosting bats. The neighborhood's famous Sunnyside Gardens historic district, with its unique courtyard apartments and older rooflines, often requires specialized exclusion techniques to protect both the bats and the architectural integrity of these beloved homes.
Why Choose Us for Bat Removal & Exclusion in Sunnyside
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.

When is bat season in Sunnyside, and when should exclusion be done?▾
Bats are most active in Sunnyside from April through October. However, exclusion work cannot be performed during maternity season (roughly June through August) when flightless pups are present. The best times for bat removal are spring (April–May) or fall (September–October) to ensure humane treatment and legal compliance.
Are bats common in Sunnyside's garden apartments and older homes?▾
Yes, Sunnyside's abundance of pre-war construction, including the historic Sunnyside Gardens complexes, provides numerous entry points through aging rooflines, vents, and architectural details. Bats are attracted to the mature trees throughout the neighborhood and find attics and wall voids ideal for roosting. Regular inspection of older buildings is recommended for early detection.
