When faced with a nuisance wildlife situation, you might find yourself wondering who you can call to help you out. We commonly receive calls from people across the Westchester County area that are wondering who they need to get in contact with to deal with the distressing situation at hand. Animal control and wildlife removal provide different services, as animal control won’t deal with animals on private property, and wildlife removal companies won’t deal with domestic animals. If you have a nuisance wildlife situation inside your attic, crawl space, or anywhere else on your property, contact the experts at Westchester Wildlife! Our team has the tools and the training to safely and humanely remove raccoons, squirrels, bats, chipmunks, groundhogs, and more!
Professional wildlife companies do not deal with domestic animals. Domestic animals include cats, dogs, and all other animals that are kept as pets and not native to the area. If you have a colony of feral cats on your property, these would actually be under the jurisdiction of animal control. Similarly, if you have a lost dog, or if you have seen a dog running free through your neighborhood, that is also a situation for animal control. Westchester Wildlife does NOT deal with dogs, cats, or any other domestic animal.
When you have wildlife inside your attic space, this is a perfect situation for a wildlife removal company. Raccoons, squirrels, opossums, bats, and rodents will break into your attic and nest inside your insulation, often ripping it up and soiling it.Unfortunately, when nuisance wildlife have taken up residence on your private property, they are no longer within the jurisdiction of animal control. DIY removal is not recommended, because raccoons and bats can spread the rabies virus through bites and scratches, and all of these animals can become aggressive when handled or cornered. If you have a nuisance critter inside your attic, your best bet is to contact a licensed wildlife removal company.
If you have birds like pigeons, sparrows, or starlings nesting inside your attic, or inside your home’s exterior vents like a dryer vent, removing these birds and their nesting material is under the jurisdiction of a nuisance wildlife company.
If there is a rabid, aggressive animal, domestic or wildlife, that is posing a direct threat to people, then this is a case for animal control. If there’s a raccoon on public property like in the road or in a public park, this falls under animal control. The government is responsible for removing dead animals from the road, and from other public property. However, if a deer is hit by a car, wanders into your yard and then dies, it becomes your responsibility and falls under the jurisdiction of a wildlife removal company. Wildlife removal companies handle dead animal removal for nuisance critters like raccoons, squirrels, deer, and more.
Bees and wasps are stinging insects that can become aggressive if they perceive you as a threat. This is worsened by the fact that bees and wasps often build their nests on porches, decks, and inside attic spaces, increasing the likelihood of a conflict with you. Bees and wasps are typically covered by pest control companies, however, Westchester Wildlife also offers bee and wasp nest removal services in the Westchester County area.
Similarly, issues with rodents like mice and rats tend to fall under the jurisdiction of both pest control companies and wildlife removal companies, as they are both pests and nuisance wildlife. If you have an issue with a rat or mice infestation in Westchester County, Putnam County, or Dutchess County, Westchester Wildlife can help! We offer the best rodent control and prevention services in the area.
When it comes to insect pests like termites, ants, roaches, silverfish, and more, this falls squarely under the jurisdiction of a licensed pest control professional. While the Westchester Wildlife team can help with rodents and stinging insects, we do NOT deal with termites, ants, and other insect pests.
Attics aren’t the only area on your property that nuisance wildlife will hang out in. Groundhogs are known to dig extensive underground burrows on your property, which can destabilize the soil and lead to your foundation cracking and settling. Groundhogs are also infamous for decimating gardens, feeding on the vegetable crops within. Skunks and foxes are known to dig out dens underneath porches, decks, and sheds. Moles and voles will also dig unsightly tunnels in your garden, with moles leaving behind kicked-up molehills of dirt, and voles leaving behind shallow trenches. You might also deal with opossums and rodents inside your crawl space, or raccoons inside your garage. When you have non-domestic wild animals causing trouble in areas of your property besides your attic, this is another situation where you would call a nuisance wildlife company like Westchester Wildlife.
Whenever you need an issue with a nuisance wildlife problem resolved, whether it be a bat colony in your attic, a raccoon in your garage, a dead deer in your yard, or a groundhog digging up your garden, trust the wildlife removal experts at Westchester Wildlife.
