⚠️ Maternity Season — Exclusion Restricted

Bat exclusion is legally prohibited in most states during the maternity season while nursing pups cannot fly. We can inspect and prepare now so exclusion can begin the moment the season ends.

Bat Removal in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts — Local Context

The big brown bat and little brown bat are the primary species forming maternity colonies in Northeastern structures. Most Northeastern states — including Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, New Jersey, and New York — strictly prohibit bat exclusion between June 1 and August 15 to protect nursing pups. Exclusion work must be completed before June or after mid-August, making early scheduling critical.

All wildlife removal in Massachusetts is regulated by the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife. Our Chestnut Hill contractor is fully licensed under the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife and uses only permitted, humane removal methods.

Frequently Asked Questions — Bat Removal in Chestnut Hill

How much does bat removal cost in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts? +
Bat exclusion in Massachusetts typically costs $400–$1,500+ for the exclusion work itself. Guano cleanup and attic decontamination — required to eliminate the health risk from Histoplasma-contaminated material — adds $1,500–$8,000+ or more depending on colony size. Chestnut Hill properties with large, long-established colonies are at the higher end of this range.
Are there legal restrictions on bat removal in Massachusetts? +
Yes. Bats in Massachusetts are protected under state law administered by the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife. Bat exclusion is prohibited during the maternity season — typically May through August — when nursing pups cannot fly. Performing exclusion during this period is illegal and traps pups inside, causing a serious decomposition problem. Contact us now to get on the schedule for the legal exclusion window.
Is bat guano in my Chestnut Hill home dangerous? +
Yes. Bat guano supports the growth of Histoplasma capsulatum, a fungus that causes histoplasmosis — a serious respiratory illness documented in Massachusetts. Disturbing dry guano releases spores into your home's air. Do not sweep, vacuum, or disturb bat droppings. Professional cleanup with respiratory protection and proper disposal is required.
I found one bat inside my house in Chestnut Hill — do I have a colony? +
A single bat inside living space usually entered from an attic or wall void where a larger colony roosts. This is one of the most common bat calls across Massachusetts. A professional inspection can determine whether you have a colony above the ceiling. Any bat that may have had contact with a sleeping person should be tested for rabies — contact Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife for guidance.
How do professionals remove bats in Massachusetts? +
Bats are not trapped — they are excluded. One-way exclusion devices are installed over every entry point so bats can exit but not re-enter. After all bats have departed — typically 3–7 nights — the devices are removed and all gaps are permanently sealed. The Massachusetts colony is never harmed, and all work follows Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife guidelines.
