Pest Management Services: Wildlife
Raccoons, Bats, Squirrels, Skunks
Around the Tri-State area and the Hudson Valley, the species of wildlife you’ll encounter are bigger than your average insect. Bigger critters mean a bigger chance of substantial property damage, sometimes over a single night. Outdoor wildlife can also be smart and crafty.
Wild animals are apt to wander closer to human environments for shelter. Nuisance wildlife pose a very unique set of health and property threats, especially if they can find a way inside your home!
Don’t want to worry about costly wildlife pest damage? Contact the experts at Pestech today. Our critter control services will keep pest wildlife at bay.
How to Know Whether You Have a Nuisance Wildlife Problem
Creatures can reveal their presence in a variety of ways. Be on the lookout for warning signs like:
- Droppings, bite marks or claw marks: These are telltale signs that an animal has been around. Fecal matter poses a health and contamination risk, while gnawed wood, wires, insulation and piping are bothersome to fix. Make sure you’re diligent in searching for these traces before they pile up.
- Noises and activity late at night: You might hear wildlife around before you see it. Listen when it’s quiet for rustling or scurrying in the walls or in the ceiling overhead.
- Thrown trash: Hungry wildlife can go scavenging through the garbage you set out overnight or what lies around in the dumpster. Your trash could be used as a food source if it isn’t kept in secure containers, leaving you with cleaning up to do.
- Holes: Wildlife might burrow close to your foundation for a new home or invite itself in by opening a spot in your fence.
- Surprise guests: Sometimes, you’ll see a troublesome critter for yourself. It can happen to people who switch on the porch light at night or stick their heads in the attic when investigating a noise. Most creatures will try to escape as soon as they see you, and it’s best to avoid confronting or chasing something out.
We recommend you call a pest company at the first sign of trouble.

How Can You Control Wildlife Yourself?
It is important to keep trash in fully sealed containers, cut back tree limbs from roof line, and also be proactive in fencing off openings to the home preventing wildlife from accessing properties. Seal off cracks and secure loose boarding on the exterior and fill in holes in the ground with dirt and rocks. At home, you can take steps prevent wildlife from using your pet’s property by keeping door flaps shut and bringing in food and water dishes at night.
We encourage anyone who encounters a wild animal on their property to Contact Pestech Pests for assistance instead of trying to trap on their own.
How Pestech Removes Wildlife Pests
Pestech proudly practices live trap and release, and boasts over twenty years of experience dealing with nuisance wildlife. The Pestechnologists in our nuisance wildlife division are fully trained and licensed to practice both trapping and exclusionary methods of nuisance wildlife control. In addition, Pestech has one of the highest catch-rates in the Tri-State and Hudson Valley regions.
When a Pestechnologist visits your home or business to deal with nuisance wildlife the first thing that will be done is a thorough inspection of the area. After this information has been collected, traps will be set according to the type of wildlife and the location of activity. Sometimes, exclusionary methods are necessary to correct an issue with nuisance wildlife. Exclusion work includes both trapping and removal of the wildlife from the building, as well as sealing up any means of re-entry for the animal.
We can make the perimeter of your property deter wildlife from entering, such as by sprinkling granules that smell like common predators. Our experts know what to apply and where to make your location less preferable to roving animals.
When the nuisance wildlife is gone, we tackle the clean-up to ensure your environment is free of damage and sanitized for the future.
At Pestech, we’re as persistent as wildlife pests can be — we’ll follow up with you and make sure that the animals stay gone. Our service is backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee, so if we don’t succeed at keeping out wildlife from your home or business, we’ll return for no additional charge until the problem is solved.
If you want to make sure you stay ahead, Pestech offers routine pest prevention visits year-round to monitor the conditions of your property.
