One bat that flew in through an open window is a visitor. Repeated sightings, droppings collecting in the same spot, staining around a gap at the roofline or bats emerging from the building at dusk point to a colony that is roosting there. The inspection settles it.

No, and neither can anyone else legally in New York. Bats are protected, and lethal methods are not permitted. What a licensed operator does instead is bat exclusion, which removes the colony humanely and closes the building permanently.

It is the process of letting bats leave through one way exit devices while preventing them from re entering, then sealing every opening once the structure is empty. Our exclusion work carries a 2 year warranty.

Bats sealed inside can find another route, often into the living space, or the colony can reopen or relocate to a gap you did not know about. Sealing has to come after the colony is out and after every opening is found.

Regular pest control treats insects with products. Bats are wildlife, so the work is structural: finding openings, installing exit devices and sealing. Quality Pro is licensed for both, so one team covers the whole job.

The exit devices stay in place for several nights so every bat has left, and final sealing follows. Timing also depends on the season, since exclusion is restricted during the summer months when pups cannot yet fly.
