Nowhere to Run: Wildlife in America's Most Crowded City
In Union City, there is no 'away' for wildlife to go. Every building touches another. Every basement connects to neighbors. When wildlife enters one structure, the entire block becomes habitat. Rodents and raccoons navigate this urban maze through a network of utility chases, basement connections, and deteriorating building envelopes.
Why Union City?
Extreme density creates interconnected buildings where rodent populations spread through shared infrastructure faster than individual treatment can address
Common Wildlife in Union City
- rodents
- raccoons
- squirrels
- bats
Wall-to-Wall Buildings, Wall-to-Wall Problems
Union City was built for density. Six-story apartment buildings line Bergenline Avenue. Row homes share party walls continuously for entire blocks. There are virtually no gaps between structures - which means wildlife doesn't need to cross open ground to spread from building to building.
Local Housing Stock
- Six-story walk-up apartment buildings
- Continuous row homes sharing party walls
- Mixed-use buildings with ground-floor retail
- Pre-war tenements converted to condos
Common Entry Point Issues
- Party walls with utility penetrations between buildings
- Shared basement spaces across property lines
- Ground-floor commercial creating pest entry points
- Roof access between adjoining buildings
Union City Case Study
The Bergenline Avenue Block
01 The Problem
A condo board called about bats in their 6-story building. During inspection, we noticed bats were also visible on the neighboring buildings at dusk.
Location: Central Union City
02 What We Found
The 6-story buildings along this block shared a continuous cornice line. Bats were roosting behind deteriorated cornices across five buildings. The condo board only owned one - the bats considered all five home.
03 The Solution
We coordinated with neighboring building owners for simultaneous exclusion during legal season. One-way devices were installed across all five buildings on the same day.
The Result
Complete exclusion of an estimated 200+ bat colony. The multi-building approach cost each owner less than individual attempts would have.
