Wildlife Removal
Professional wildlife removal for Suffolk County, Nassau County & Queens.
Raccoons, squirrels, opossums, skunks, and other wildlife can cause serious damage when they decide your home makes a good den. They tear through insulation, chew electrical wiring (creating fire hazards), contaminate attics and crawl spaces with droppings and urine, and can introduce parasites like fleas, ticks, and mites. Beyond property damage, wildlife can carry rabies and other zoonotic diseases. Professional, humane removal is the safest and most effective approach — and in New York, it's required by law for most species.
⚠️ Signs You Need Wildlife Removal
- •Scratching, thumping, or scurrying sounds in your attic, walls, or chimney — especially at dawn and dusk
- •Droppings, urine stains, or strong odors in your attic, garage, or crawl space
- •Damaged soffits, vents, fascia boards, or roof shingles
- •Chewed wiring, torn insulation, or damaged ductwork
- •Torn garbage bags, overturned trash cans, or scattered debris
- •Visible entry holes or damage around your roofline, foundation, or chimney
Our Wildlife Removal Process
Inspection & Identification
We identify the animal species, locate all entry points, and assess any damage to your home's structure, insulation, and wiring.
Humane Removal
Using humane traps and one-way exclusion devices, we safely remove wildlife from your home in full compliance with state regulations.
Permanent Exclusion
We seal every entry point with professional-grade, animal-resistant materials to ensure wildlife cannot re-enter.
Cleanup & Restoration
We clean and sanitize contaminated areas, remove soiled insulation, and repair or recommend repairs for any structural damage.
🛡️ Prevention Tips
- ✓Inspect your roofline, soffits, and vents regularly for gaps or damage
- ✓Install chimney caps and heavy-duty vent covers

- ✓Secure garbage cans with locking or animal-proof lids
- ✓Never leave pet food or birdseed outside overnight
- ✓Seal foundation gaps, crawl space openings, and gaps around utility lines
Why Professional Wildlife Removal Matters
Wildlife removal requires knowledge of animal behavior, proper trapping and exclusion techniques, and full awareness of state and local wildlife regulations. In New York, many species are legally protected, and improper removal can result in fines. Professional wildlife control ensures animals are removed humanely and legally, all entry points are permanently sealed with the right materials, and contaminated areas are properly sanitized to protect your family's health.
