"Matt at Get Out! Pest Control were incredible. When we discovered bats in our home, they responded quickly and handled the situation with professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care. Matt took the time to explain the process, made sure everything was done safely and humanely, and gave us real peace of mind. You could tell he truly cares about helping people, not just doing a job. If you ever find yourself dealing with a wildlife issue, this is absolutely the company to call. Highly recommend!"

"We have had a host of critters make themselves at home in our attic, and have used a few other big name pest control companies. This time, we had a bat / some bats call our home theirs. Nick from Dunbar came to give us a quote, seemed extremely knowledgeable and had a great price, so we went with him and I couldn t be happier. Nick was always punctual, kept up communications with us, sealed up the house with a one way door, and our bat is gone. I expect we will use Nick and Dunbar Pest control again in the future!"

"All Star Pest Solutions gave me and my Dad a lot of valuable information about getting rid of the bats in my Dad's old house that was on the market at the time. Price was very reasonable compared to the other estimates for the same service. I would hire again if I had the same problem in one of the current properties we still own. Thank you"

"Jesse was great and handled my Yellow Jacket problem the next day. His price was very reasonable and he did not try to sell anything unnecessary. Every time you call big companies like Orkin or Terminix, they just want to sell you huge packages that cost a fortune. I will definitely call him again if I have any future pest problems and will recommend him to anyone."

"After getting a few estimates from a few other companies we called capital wildlife control. They were very informative and gave us a few options to remove skunks under our deck and keep them out for good . Very knowledgeable  and much more affordable then the other estimates we received."

FAQs for bird and bat pest control service projects in Schenectady, NY

Bats slip through gaps as small as 1/4 inch, so your best defense is a thorough seal-up and a few simple habit tweaks. Start by caulking or screening every crack around chimneys, eaves, and vents. Swap dim porch bulbs for brighter LEDs or motion lights (bats dislike the glare), and consider an ultrasonic deterrent if they keep circling. 

Finally, remove easy snacks—cover standing water and skip the nighttime bird-feeder refills. These steps go a long way toward keeping your home bat-free.

Standard homeowners’ insurance rarely pays for bat removal because insurers view it as routine maintenance. You might get partial help for guano cleanup or related repairs, but that varies by policy. Review your insurance policy carefully and contact your provider for a definitive explanation. Securing all entry points remains the homeowner’s responsibility to prevent future incursions.

The sweet spot for bat exclusion is late summer through spring. That window keeps you inside most state rules and protects baby bats that haven’t learned to fly yet. Removal activities are conducted when bats are less active, with some states permitting work from August through May and others ceasing removal in March. Consult a qualified bat removal specialist to confirm the valid timeframe for your area.

Spotting a dead bat can be unsettling, but a calm, careful approach keeps everyone safe. First, call your state wildlife office to report the find and ask about local rules. Snap a quick photo from a distance, then—wearing disposable gloves—place the bat in a sealed plastic bag for disposal as directed. 

Wipe down nearby surfaces with disinfectant, wash your hands thoroughly, and schedule a pest-control pro to make sure no live bats (or harmful guano) remain hidden in the house.
