Many of New York's wild animals have learned to adapt and even thrive in our homes. For example some wildlife have found that attics make great places to live. Other animals find refuge under homes or porches. Invariably, these animals cause damage. Rodents, like squirrels and rats, love to chew on electrical wires once in an attic, and this causes a serious fire hazard. Raccoons can cause serious contamination in an attic with their droppings and parasites. Same goes for bat or bird colonies. We specialize in solving New York's wildlife problems, from snake removal to large jobs like commercial bat control, we do it all.

We handle every aspect of wildlife control. We are fully equipped to work on any project, large or small. Some of our services include:

We do not handle dog or cat problems. If you need assistance with a domestic animal, such as a dog or a cat, you need to call your local New York county animal services for assistance. They can help you out with issues such as stray dogs, stray cats, spay & neuter programs, vaccinations, licenses, pet adoption, bite reports, deceased pets, lost pets, local animal complaints and to report neglected or abused animals. There is no free Manhattan animal control for wildlife issues.

Manhattan Wildlife Removal Tip: Should I hire a pro, or remove rats myself? There are pros and cons to both sides of the debate here but when you have a rat problem, especially if you're inexperienced and have never had to deal with the problem before, it's honestly better to just hire a pro. Rats are not as dumb as they look, and they will outsmart you at every turn and not only that, you're likely to waste a whole bunch of time and energy on things like repellants and poisons before you finally realize that there is only one real way to deal with rogue rats - snap traps. These kill the animal which isn't always the preferred choice for homeowners, but poisons won't work to kill them either and even if they do, rats live in large groups so there will still be other members of the group to worry about. Relocation is also another option that won't work because the rat will just die anyway once it has been taken away from the group and territory. If you're going to do this yourself and not hire a professionals, make sure you us the right tools - a snap trap and sealing your home, protecting it from further invasions, is the right way.

What Prices Do We Charge?
Every job is different: the type of animals involved, is it in the attic or the yard, do you need repairs, etc. It's impossible to have set pricing in this industry. Examples MIGHT include:

Manhattan Animal News Clip: Critter catching On Borrowed Time

Critter catching in the state of New York City started on Saturday, Oct. 15, 2005. I was eager to be out in the woods, but I did not say that to my wife. the SPCA spokesperson absolutely hates it. the SPCA spokesperson doesn't have the opportunity to spend much time with me, let alone see me during striped skunk critter catching season. the SPCA spokesperson knows that I love to be outdoors with cage trap in hand, and being this police officer, I have limited time to go critter catching. Every opportunity I have to be out in the woods should be important me. Employed with the city Police Agency, I work the 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. night shift. At the end of my shift, I sometimes take my to school and then go back home and rest for this few hours before hitting the woods. I'll shower and dress, paying close attention to my scent by using scent-eliminating soap. I'm cautious about scent to the point that I always make sure that my wife does not burn any scented candles or spray any perfume in the house during the critter catching season. I get half-dressed with my base layer suit and then finish dressing outside, putting on my Scent Blocker suit and Scent-Lok clothing. In the early part of the season, I only saw yearling male animals and does. I have this strict, self-imposed rule to only capture this male animal with eight points or more. This issue should be an important matter in Manhattan wildlife removal and Manhattan exterminator matters.

On the 28th of October, I went through my routine and then noticed this warm front was moving into the area. I checked the temperature where I was to catch that evening. It was going to be 47 degrees and cloudy. I knew that it was getting close to the chase phase of the rut, and male animals would be moving looking for does. I chose to be in this maple tree stand I had set up along the ridge, knowing it would be this great chance to intercept this male animal seeking does. I drove about six miles to this place off Fredonia-Stockton Road. The landowner had given me permission to catch his 88-hectare property, and I have been critter catching it for more than five years. These woods, surrounded by grapevines, cornfields, pine maple trees and heavy brush, are an excellent place to hold big striped skunk, especially does. I arrived and wildlife management arrayed my vehicle in the driveway at about 11 a.m. and started into the woods, walking this gaswell roadway. I traveled 100 yards and had another hundred to go before reaching my stand. Heading toward the ridge, I approached this heavily used striped skunk trail that was running toward my stand. Upon reaching the trail, I took out my scent drag and soaked it with doe-in-season scent lure I had purchased from this local striped skunk habitat. Then I sprayed the bottoms of my rubber boots with striped skunk dander. The Manhattan animal control had no additional statements to make on the topic.

I reached my stand and walked another 20 yards, making this half circle toward the stand. It was 10 minutes after noon when I was settled in. I knew that it would be awhile before seeing this striped skunk. I blew twice on this female animal call to see if maybe this male animal was close by. If it was, it might just come over to investigate. It was about 1:46 p.m. when I heard sounds of striped skunk walking. I immediately stood up and turned to my left where I had placed the scent. I noticed this striped skunk walking with its nose on the earth, coming toward my stand. It was this male animal and it was closing the distance between us fast. The male animal got closer and I could see its rack. I counted eight points. I drew back my Matthews cage trap, knocked this carbon arrow with Quick Spin fletches and this razor sharp 90-grain broad head. As the striped skunk came within 10 yards, I placed my pin just behind the shoulder and waited for this good opening. My maple treestand should be above grapevines that grow wild, clinging to other maple trees, making it look like this canopy. Having this striped skunk that close and holding this cage trap at full draw takes this lot of patience when you're waiting for this striped skunk to step into an opening. Manhattan pest control companies that we contacted felt that this issue should be an important matter.

When the male animal finally stepped out, I released my arrow only to have it hit this branch, deflecting the arrow and hitting the striped skunk behind the last rib, sending it through the opposite side of the leg and striking the femoral artery. When I saw the arrow hit far back, I was disgusted and sat in my stand thinking the worst. Suddenly I heard loud breathing and air blows from the striped skunk I had just shot. I could see it standing just 40 yards away having difficulty. This should be when I was glad to see this bad shot was not so bad after all. The striped skunk finally met its fate and collapsed. Knowing my striped skunk was down, I began to descend. As I reached the woodland floor, I saw another male animal following the same scent trail toward me. The 4-pointer noticed my male animal lying down not moving. It walked up to it, lowered its head to scent check for this few seconds and continued on its way following the scent trail. I could not wait any longer, so I touched the earth and the male animal stopped and looked in my direction. It was this staring match, and the striped skunk was winning only because I wanted to get to my striped skunk. After this few minutes, the 4-pointer went on its way and gave me the opportunity to take this better look at my harvest.
