About Standard & Nuisance Raccoons
Most people have this idea that hiring a company once will drive nuisance animals such as raccoons away permanently. This could not be further from the truth. Unfortunately, the industry terminology for handling wildlife throughout New York City is referred to as “Wildlife Control & Management” for a very good reason. You don’t have to worry about nuisance raccoons being a permanent fixture or causing problems for an infinite duration of time, however there are some very important factors at play here which you should know.
The most important thing to understand going forward is that any legitimate professional will tell you that nuisance animals or pests always return. They will never permanently leave. With this being said, you need to approach the problem by thinking about how to keep these animals out of your facility or home. Most of the projects we complete involve nuisance animal invaders that have caused tremendous damage, left disgusting nests behind and have chewed their way through various components such as rooftop areas, vents, walls, gutters and more.

In addition, you’ll be in need of technicians that have proper proofing and exclusion experience.
