Wildlife removal in Pelham Bay: what to know
Pelham Bay is dominated by Pelham Bay Park — at 2,772 acres, New York City's largest park. The park's extensive salt marsh, wetlands and woodland create intense seasonal mosquito and tick pressure for all residential areas bordering the park, with Orchard Beach's tidal edge generating the highest mosquito breeding density.
The mix of older detached and semi-detached homes in the Pelham Bay residential enclave near the park bring ant, stinging-insect and wildlife pressure; raccoons, opossums and skunks from the park regularly enter residential yards and seek attic access as temperatures drop.
City Island's working waterfront and seafood restaurants add fly and rodent pressure for businesses and homes on the island; the bridge connection means island pest populations can migrate to the adjacent mainland residential areas.

How we treat wildlife removal in Pelham Bay
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.
