Raccoon Removal Experts Serving New York
New York City has one of the densest urban raccoon populations in the country. These highly intelligent animals exploit every gap in brownstones, row houses, and apartment buildings to access warm attics and crawl spaces. Once inside, they shred insulation, contaminate surfaces with feces carrying raccoon roundworm, and can cause thousands in structural damage.
In NYC, raccoons are especially active in neighborhoods bordering parks — Prospect Park, Inwood Hill, Van Cortlandt, and the Greenbelt on Staten Island all serve as population reservoirs. Our technicians are licensed by the NY DEC and know the specific entry points common to New York's older housing stock.
