Bat removal, inspection, cleanup guidance, and exclusion
Bat Removal & Wildlife Exclusion in NYC & NJ
Seeing bats around the attic, roofline, vents, wall openings, or upper parts of the building? We help property owners identify how bats are getting in, plan safe removal, and close the entry points so the problem does not keep coming back.
Rooflines
Vents & louvers
Exclusion work
Need bat control help?
Bats can enter through small roofline gaps, attic vents, fascia openings, soffits, wall voids, and older structural openings.
Do not seal openings until the situation is inspected. Timing and method matter, especially when bats may still be inside.
Bat problems we solve
Signs You May Need Professional Bat Removal
Bat calls usually begin with sightings near the roofline, noises in an attic, staining around an opening, droppings, or repeated activity around vents and upper exterior gaps.
Bats in attic
Noises above ceilings, sightings near attic vents, droppings, odors, or activity around louvers can point to an attic bat issue.
Bats at roofline
Small gaps at fascia, soffits, trim, siding, or roof edges can become repeat entry points if they are not found and sealed correctly.
Vents and louvers
Attic vents, gable vents, louvers, and utility openings often need inspection, screening, or exclusion recommendations.
Droppings or odor
Bat droppings and odor around an opening or inside an attic should be handled carefully, especially in enclosed spaces.
Wall and tower gaps
Older buildings, towers, wall voids, trim gaps, and masonry transitions can create hidden bat access points.
Managed properties
We help homeowners, landlords, supers, property managers, and commercial buildings understand the problem and next steps.
Where bats enter
Common Bat Entry Points We Inspect
Bats can use very small openings, so the visible animal is only part of the problem. A proper inspection looks for the route, the condition of the opening, and whether exclusion or repair work is needed.
- Fascia gaps
- Soffit openings
- Attic vents and louvers
- Chimney or tower areas
- Roofline gaps
- Siding cracks
- Wall voids
- Utility penetrations
Inspection matters before sealing
Closing a bat opening without confirming activity can trap bats inside or shift the problem to another part of the building.
We look at the structure first, then recommend the safest removal and exclusion plan for that specific property.

Our process
How Bat Removal and Exclusion Usually Works
Inspection
We look for activity, droppings, staining, openings, vents, roofline gaps, and conditions that may allow bats inside.
Removal plan
We recommend a humane bat control approach based on the building, activity level, and timing of the issue.
Exclusion or repair
Once appropriate, entry points are addressed with exclusion recommendations, screening, or repair guidance.
Cleanup guidance
We explain droppings, odor, attic concerns, and prevention steps so the building is better protected going forward.
Do Not Seal Bat Openings Too Early
Do not seal a suspected bat opening until you know whether bats are still inside. Sealing too early can trap bats in the building, push them into living spaces, or create a more complicated removal problem.
Bat exclusion also depends on timing, health and safety concerns, and local rules. If someone has had direct contact with a bat or there is a possible exposure, contact a medical professional or local health department for guidance.
