Why Tarrytown Has a Bats Problem
Tarrytown's beautiful Victorian and colonial-era homes, along with properties near the Old Croton Aqueduct and Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, often attract bat colonies due to older architectural features and wooded surroundings. The village's tree-lined streets and proximity to the Hudson River Greenway make it particularly attractive to several bat species common to Westchester County.
Why Choose Us for Bat Removal & Exclusion in Tarrytown
Bat removal is strictly regulated under New York State law β bats may not be killed, and removal must use exclusion methods during approved windows outside maternity season (Juneβmid-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.
