Wildlife Control Services

Serving Long Island | Nassau County | Suffolk County

While the wildlife around Long Island can be fascinating to observe, itโ€™s a whole different situation when these animals decide to move into your home or yard. Unwanted critters like raccoons, squirrels, and opossums often see residential properties as easy shelter options. Unfortunately, their presence can lead to serious property damage and health concerns that your homeownerโ€™s insurance likely wonโ€™t cover, things like torn insulation, contaminated areas, chewed wiring, and structural harm. Thatโ€™s where our expert wildlife control team steps in, offering reliable and humane animal removal services.

Getting inside your home is easier for these animals than you might think. Small gaps, vents, or attic openings are perfect entry points for creatures seeking warmth or nesting spots. Once inside, they can become frightened and destructive, often damaging your home while trying to escape or settling in to make it their new home. The damage isnโ€™t just costly, it also poses serious health risks to you and your family. Professional intervention is the safest way to handle these situations.

At Arrow Exterminating, we specialize in humane trapping and removal of nuisance wildlife throughout Long Island. Whether youโ€™re dealing with bats in the attic, raccoons in the crawl space, or birds nesting in your eaves, our skilled technicians are ready to help. Contact us today to schedule a free inspection and get a tailored plan to protect your home.

Why Wildlife Infestations Are a Serious Concern

Wild animals can be unpredictable and dangerous, especially when cornered or distressed inside your home. Hereโ€™s why itโ€™s important to address wildlife problems promptly:

  • Health Hazards: Many wild animals carry diseases such as rabies, hantavirus, salmonella, and parasites, all of which can threaten your familyโ€™s health.
  • Property Damage: Animals often chew through electrical wiring, increasing the risk of fire. They also tear up insulation and damage wood and drywall, leading to expensive repairs.
  • Contamination: Droppings and urine from wildlife can leave behind foul odors and harmful bacteria.
  • Pest Attraction: Fleas, ticks, and other pests often accompany wild animals. Plus, if an animal dies inside your home, the decaying body can attract more pests and create toxic conditions.

Animals We Handle in Long Island

We provide removal and control services for a variety of wildlife, including but not limited to:

If youโ€™re dealing with any of these or other unwelcome visitors, Arrow Exterminating has the expertise to resolve the problem quickly and humanely.

Our Step-by-Step Wildlife Control Process

When you choose Arrow Exterminating, youโ€™re getting more than just removal, youโ€™re getting a full-service solution designed to keep wildlife out for good:

  1. Comprehensive Inspection: Our team performs a detailed assessment to find every entry point, evaluate any damage, and identify the specific animals causing trouble.
  2. Humane Removal: Using safe and ethical trapping methods, we carefully remove all wildlife currently residing in your home.
  3. Sealing and Exclusion: We then secure your property by closing off any cracks, gaps, or vulnerable spots around your foundation, roofline, and vents. This step is crucial for preventing future invasions and giving you lasting peace of mind.

Long-Term Wildlife Prevention: Why Exclusion Matters

Removing animals is only part of the solution. For permanent relief, your home needs to be sealed against future visitors. Wildlife exclusion means thoroughly blocking access points to stop a variety of species from entering.

Benefits include:

  • Preventing access for numerous wildlife species, not just the current nuisance
  • Offering a humane, eco-friendly solution by keeping animals out without harm
  • Delivering durable, weather-resistant protection year-round
  • Protecting your home from pests and wildlife problems before they start
