Why Tottenville Has a Bats Problem
Tottenville's proximity to Conference House Park, Raritan Bay, and the wooded areas along the Arthur Kill make it particularly attractive to bat populations seeking foraging grounds and roosting sites. The neighborhood's mix of Victorian-era homes, Cape Cods, and newer waterfront properties all present different entry points that require specialized exclusion techniques to keep bats out permanently.
Why Choose Us for Bat Removal & Exclusion in Tottenville
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.

Bat Removal & Exclusion in Tottenville — FAQs
Why are bats common in Tottenville homes?▾
Tottenville's abundance of mature trees, proximity to Raritan Bay waterways, and older homes with attics and architectural details provide ideal habitat for bats. Small gaps in soffits, vents, chimneys, and roof lines allow bats to access attics and walls where they roost in colonies.
What is included in the $900 - $2,500 bat removal service?▾
Our bat removal service includes a thorough inspection to locate entry points and roosting areas, humane bat exclusion using one-way devices, sealing all potential entry points, attic sanitation and guano cleanup, and a warranty on exclusion work. Pricing varies based on colony size, number of entry points, and extent of cleanup required.
When is bat removal season in Staten Island?▾
Bat exclusion work in New York is restricted during maternity season (approximately June through August) when flightless pups may be present. The best time for bat removal in Tottenville is spring (April-May) or fall (September-October) when all bats can safely exit and relocate.
Are bats dangerous to my Tottenville home and family?▾
While bats are beneficial for controlling insects, they pose health risks when roosting in homes. Bat guano can contain histoplasmosis spores, and bats may carry rabies. Additionally, accumulated droppings cause odors, attract insects, and can damage insulation and structural materials in attics and walls.
