A private practice in nocturnal pest control.
By appointment, after dusk.
One bat will quiet a thousand mosquitoes in an hour. A small colony will empty an acre by dawn. We do not spray. We do not trap. We commission a residence · and let the night attend to the rest.
Each house is rough-cut cedar, jointed and sealed in non-toxic stain over the course of a week. No two are identical. Each carries a serial, recorded in the casebook.
From first walk to first colony · a measured, four-stage progression carried out across a single season.
A walk of the property at dusk. Flight corridors, water, and prevailing wind are noted in the casebook.
Each house is built from rough-cut cedar to specifications refined for the Eastern Brown Bat. Numbered.
Mounted twelve to twenty feet aloft, on the south aspect required to hold an interior temperature of 85°F.
A maternal colony arrives. From that night, your grounds are quietly patrolled, dusk to dawn.
Mounted twelve to twenty feet aloft, on the southern aspect required to hold an interior temperature of 85°F. Placement, entirely, is everything.
Every commission is bespoke. The figures below are points of departure. The final brief is set after I have walked the property.
A single house
Two paired houses
Acre and above
No. A correctly placed house is far more attractive than your attic · warmer, drier, tucked into the flight corridors they already use. Installing one is the most reliable way to keep them out of the home.
Bats are gentle, retiring, and want nothing to do with people. They never approach humans, children, or pets.
Scout bats often appear within weeks. A maternal colony typically establishes within one to two seasons.
Long Island bats migrate or hibernate. The house remains. By spring the colony returns · generally larger, year on year.
Nassau and Suffolk counties, from Great Neck to Montauk. A modest travel fee applies east of Riverhead.
Our backyard is unrecognizable. We dine outdoors again · no citronella, no fogging. The houses themselves are beautiful objects.
Discreet, professional, and entirely effective. Two seasons in and the colony has doubled. I recommend him to every neighbor who asks.
He walked the property at dusk, took notes by hand, and returned with a brief that read like a piece of architecture. The mosquitoes are simply gone.
