Bat Exclusion and Removal in Rochester, NY

Bat exclusion is legal in Rochester outside the NYSDEC maternity season restriction, which runs June 1 through August 15. JN Wildlife Solutions schedules all exclusion work within the approved windows to keep your project compliant.

Bats enter Rochester homes through gaps as small as three-eighths of an inch along rooflines, open soffits, fascia boards, attic vents, and chimney edges. Older homes in the Rochester area are especially prone to these entry points as building materials age and shift.

Bats are a known rabies vector species in New York, so a colony in your Rochester home is a health concern that should be addressed by a professional. Do not handle any bat directly, and contact JN Wildlife Solutions to inspect and remove the colony safely.

Bats will attempt to return to a previous roost site, so permanent sealing of all entry points after exclusion is what stops re-entry. JN Wildlife Solutions closes every identified gap after the colony clears to prevent bats from getting back into your Rochester property.

Bat guano left in a Rochester attic can grow a fungus that releases airborne spores linked to histoplasmosis, a serious respiratory illness. JN Wildlife Solutions removes accumulated droppings and treats the affected area as part of the exclusion service.

Signs of a colony in your Rochester home include guano piles below a single entry point, staining on siding, and multiple bats visible exiting the roofline at dusk. A single bat found indoors may have entered from a gap connected to a larger roost above.
