Wildlife removal in Lower East Side: what to know
The Lower East Side's surviving tenement buildings — some of the oldest occupied residential stock in the country — along Orchard, Rivington and Eldridge Streets have thin walls, shared staircases and original plumbing from the early 1900s that let cockroaches and mice move freely between the densely packed units.
The busy nightlife and restaurant cluster around Delancey Street, Ludlow Street and the Essex Street Market generates strong food-waste pressure, feeding rodent populations that regularly enter surrounding walk-up apartments through basement utility areas.
High residential turnover and a large student and young-renter demographic mean bed bug introductions are frequent; fly pressure is elevated around the neighbourhood's many restaurant back-of-house operations.

How we treat wildlife removal in Lower East Side
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.
