Bat Busters Animal Control

Protecting Upstate NY Properties from Animals Big and Small Since 1975

Have an unwanted guest on your property? Even though bat removal has been our specialty since 1975, we also humanely trap and relocate animals – big or small – and set them free back into the wild.

Wildlife Around Your property

We listed the most common wildlife we encounter that often takes up residence in residential and commercial buildings, and where they will often be found. It’s worth taking some time to inspect these areas around your property.
