New Jersey Bat Exclusion Timing

Per NJ Division of Fish & Wildlife guidelines, bat exclusion is not permitted May 1 – July 31 while maternity colonies have flightless pups in the roost. Safe windows for exclusion are April 1 – 30 and August 1 – October 15; work is also limited October 16 – March 31 when bats may be overwintering in a structure. If human or pet contact is suspected, we notify animal control so the bat can be sent for rabies testing, and we advise you to contact local health guidance immediately — see our Union County bat bite & rabies guidance.

Bat Removal Cost in Union County, NJ

Cost depends on colony size, roof type, and how many entry points need sealing — a single-bat capture is priced differently than a full attic exclusion with multiple valve installations. We provide a firm quote after an on-site inspection; call {phone} for current pricing in Union County.

How to Get Rid of Bats in Union County

The only permanent fix for a bat colony is exclusion: letting the existing bats leave through one-way devices, then sealing the openings behind them once the roost is empty. Repellents, mothballs, and ultrasonic devices sold online are not reliable long-term solutions and can violate state wildlife protections if used improperly on an active roost.

Bats in the Chimney vs. the Attic

Bats roosting in a chimney flue behave differently than an attic colony and often need a different exclusion approach, including a chimney cap installed only after the flue is confirmed empty. If you’re hearing sounds from your chimney rather than your attic, mention that when you call so we bring the right equipment.
