Wildlife removal is among the most common pest issues we treat in Todt Hill. The older stately homes with large basements and crawl spaces on Todt Hill Road and Ocean Terrace are prone to carpenter ant and occasional-invader pressure from the surrounding woodland; stinging-insect nest building in attic spaces and tree cavities on large lots is a regular annual treatment need.
Wildlife removal in Todt Hill: what to know
Todt Hill is Staten Island's highest point and its most prestigious residential neighbourhood — large private estates and detached homes on wooded hillside lots with mature tree canopy and extensive gardens. The forested character means wildlife, tick, stinging-insect and ant pressure is the primary pest profile rather than urban pests.
High Rock Park and the adjacent Greenbelt forest tracts border the neighbourhood on the west; raccoons, deer, foxes and skunks from the park are regular yard visitors, and deer tick density in the park-edge lawn margins is among the highest on Staten Island.

How we treat wildlife removal in Todt Hill
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.
