Wildlife removal in Dyker Heights: what to know
Dyker Heights is a relatively low-density neighbourhood of detached and semi-detached one- and two-family homes with gardens — a suburban-style housing stock that brings more ant, stinging-insect and occasional-invader pressure than denser Brooklyn neighbourhoods, with yards and mature trees providing nesting sites.
The 13th Avenue and 86th Street commercial strips anchor food-retail activity that drives rodent pressure into the surrounding residential streets; older homes with basements adjacent to these corridors are most vulnerable.
The Dyker Beach Golf Course on the neighbourhood's western edge creates a substantial green buffer that adds wildlife, tick and stinging-insect pressure for homes bordering the course perimeter.

How we treat wildlife removal in Dyker Heights
Squirrels, raccoons and opossums get into attics, soffits, chimneys and wall voids — chewing wiring, tearing insulation and creating fire and health hazards. Removing the animal is only half the job; without sealing how it got in, another moves in.
We humanely remove the animal, check for young, and exclude the property — sealing entry points with durable materials so wildlife can't return. We work within New York's wildlife regulations throughout.
