Emerson Hill Animal Control & Exclusion
Professional animal removal for Emerson Hill homes. Humane methods, permanent exclusion, and written scope built around the real openings we find.
Why Emerson Hill Properties Attract Wildlife
The mature trees and wooded lots that make Emerson Hill attractive to homeowners also make it attractive to wildlife. Squirrels use overhanging branches as highways to your roof. Raccoons raid garbage cans and then move into attics for the winter. In Staten Island's suburban landscape, wildlife encounters are a when, not an if.
In established neighborhoods, one home with a wildlife problem often means the whole block is at risk. Animals don't recognize property lines.
Animals We Handle in Emerson Hill
Raccoon Removal
Learn more →Raccoons are one of the most destructive animals that invade attics. They tear through insulation, rip up ductwork, and leave behind animal waste. A single raccoon can cause thousands in damage within weeks.
Signs in Your Home
- •Heavy thumping sounds at night (they're nocturnal)
- •Visible damage to soffits, vents, or roof edges
- •Large droppings (similar to small dog)
Damage They Cause
- •Destroyed insulation (R-value loss = higher energy bills)
- •Contaminated attic requiring professional feces cleanup
- •Chewed electrical wires (fire hazard)
Squirrel Removal
Learn more →Squirrels may look cute, but they're relentless chewers that can destroy your attic. They gnaw on wood, wires, and pipes constantly because their teeth never stop growing. One squirrel chewing on electrical wires is a house fire waiting to happen.
Signs in Your Home
- •Scurrying and scratching sounds, especially morning and evening
- •Chew marks on wood, wires, or plastic vents
- •Small droppings (like large rice grains)
Damage They Cause
- •Chewed electrical wires (leading cause of attic fires)
- •Gnawed PVC pipes (water damage)
- •Destroyed insulation used for nesting
How We Remove Animals in Emerson Hill
Thorough Inspection
We inspect your entire Emerson Hill property - attic, roof, soffits, crawl spaces, and full exterior. We identify the species, find every entry point, and assess the damage. This inspection is always free.
Humane Removal
Depending on the species, we use Havahart live traps, one-way exclusion devices, or professional snap traps. Every method we use is humane and compliant with New York wildlife regulations. We never use poison - it creates more problems than it solves.
Exclusion & Prevention
Once the animals are out, we permanently seal every entry point with heavy-gauge steel mesh, metal flashing, and commercial-grade sealants. Materials are chosen to withstand the specific animals in Staten Island - raccoons need heavier gauge than mice. The exclusion scope is documented before the job starts.
