Wildlife Removal in Manhattan, NY
Animal Control NY/NJ is a private wildlife removal company helping Manhattan property owners with birds in vents, raccoons, squirrels, bats, rodents, ledge activity, animal damage, cleanup guidance, and exclusion recommendations.

Wildlife control for Manhattan homes and buildings
When an animal gets into a building, the useful question is not just how to remove it. The important part is understanding where it entered, what damage or contamination may be present, and what exclusion or prevention-focused repair work may be needed after the active issue is handled.
Manhattan, NY service calls can involve brownstones, co-ops, condos, apartment buildings, retail spaces, restaurants, offices, schools, churches, and managed buildings. Common entry and activity areas include ledges, vents, roof access, courtyards, chimney openings, storefront signs, basement access points, compactor rooms, roofline gaps, and older building openings. Local calls may come from Upper West Side, Upper East Side, Harlem, Washington Heights, Chelsea, Midtown, Lower Manhattan, Riverside South, and nearby Manhattan neighborhoods.
Manhattan wildlife removal services
Raccoon Removal
Raccoons may use chimneys, rooflines, soffits, decks, sheds, crawl spaces, and attic openings. Service starts with identifying activity and access points.
Squirrel Removal
Squirrels often enter through roofline gaps, fascia, soffits, vents, and attic openings, especially where chewing or old gaps create access.
Bird Control
Bird problems can involve vents, ledges, signs, gutters, awnings, storefronts, soffits, droppings, nesting material, and repeat roosting pressure.
Bat Inspection & Exclusion Guidance
Bat work depends on season, species, access, roost location, and whether young bats may be present. Inspection and legal timing matter.
Mice & Rat Entry Inspection
Rodent calls often involve basements, crawl spaces, exterior gaps, utility openings, droppings, odor, sanitation, and prevention planning.
Damage & Exclusion
After activity is inspected, repair or prevention may include vent guards, entry sealing, soffit or fascia work, cleanup guidance, or chimney recommendations.
How wildlife service usually works in Manhattan
- Inspect. We look for the active animal, likely entry point, droppings, odor, damage, nesting material, access height, and safety concerns.
- Remove. The recommended removal approach depends on the species, season, access, building type, and whether young animals may be present.
- Exclude. We identify vents, roofline gaps, soffits, chimneys, crawl-space openings, wall gaps, or other access points that may need sealing or screening.
- Prevent. We explain cleanup, repair, and proofing options that can help reduce repeat wildlife problems around the property.

Recent Wildlife Control Work in Manhattan
Wildlife problems in Manhattan vary by building type. Brownstone cornices and ledges can attract roosting birds, while basements, shared utility areas, and trash-storage areas can contribute to rodent activity.
In Morningside Heights, Animal Control NY/NJ completed bird-control work on a brownstone where birds were repeatedly landing along upper ledges and the cornice. Bird spikes were installed across the affected frontage to discourage continued landing and roosting.
In Hamilton Heights, we provided rodent-control service for a multi-unit residential building. The program included indoor multi-catch traps, outdoor rodent stations, scheduled inspections, and adjustments near the trash area based on observed activity.
