Choose your city

New York's climate dictates much of our work. Spring and summer are peak times for young animals, meaning more raccoons, squirrels, and bats seeking entry into homes and attics. As temperatures drop in the fall, animals become more desperate for shelter, increasing the likelihood of infestations in basements and garages. Winter's harsh conditions can lead to deceased animals in inaccessible areas. New York has specific regulations regarding the handling and removal of certain wildlife species, often requiring permits for nuisance animal control operators. The common housing types, from older city brownstones to suburban single-family homes, offer numerous potential entry points for unwanted wildlife. When choosing a service, verify their understanding of New York's wildlife laws and their experience with local species.

Common questions

Is there a fee for calling animal control?

Our service is not a municipal animal control. We provide professional wildlife removal and exclusion services for a fee determined by the complexity of the wildlife issue. Call us for a free phone quote to discuss your needs.

What is the 3-3-3 rule for animals?

The '3-3-3 rule' is not a standard wildlife management protocol. It may be an informal guideline for observing animal behavior over time. Our approach focuses on the specific species and the unique circumstances of their presence.

Who to call to pick up stray cats?

While we specialize in wildlife, for stray domestic cats in the Rochester area, your local animal shelter or humane society is usually the primary resource. If a stray cat is causing nuisance wildlife-like issues, contact us to assess the situation.

What animals does animal control deal with?

We handle a variety of nuisance wildlife in New York, such as raccoons, squirrels, bats, opossums, and skunks. Our services focus on animals that have become a nuisance or pose a risk by entering homes, attics, chimneys, or other structures.

How much does it cost to remove a dead animal?

The cost to remove a dead animal in New York is based on factors like the animal's size and its location, particularly if it's in a hard-to-reach area like inside a wall. We offer a free phone quote to provide an accurate estimate for the service.

What are common wildlife entry points in Rochester homes?

Wildlife in Rochester commonly enters homes through unscreened vents, gaps under eaves, damaged soffits, and openings around pipes or chimneys. Older homes may have more accessible entry points. Our inspection identifies these vulnerabilities.
