About us

Westchester Wildlife performs a detailed inspection to determine the type of animal problems and the best approach for removal. Further recommendations for excluding the animal from entering the building are also provided. For example, dryer and exhaust vents provide perfect spots for birds to nest. Squirrels and bats will exploit gable vents which are not screened or which are poorly screened. Mice, rats and snakes will exploit gaps along a foundation or the corner channels of a brick, vinyl or wood sided home. Exclusion is the process of installing the necessary barrier to a structure or area keeping animals out. Wildlife Exclusion - or Animal Proofing - is about preventing animals from getting into your home in the first place, or making sure they cannot return once we have removed them. Repairing and excluding entry points is a key component in ou Integrated Pest Control Management. With every exclusion building inspection, you will receive a written estimate for all damage repairs and exclusion work necessary. All entry points into your building are located and properly sealed, providing effective measures for rodents, bats, raccoons, snakes, birds and other unwelcome animals. No matter what kind of urban wildlife has moved into your attic, roof soffits, church steeple, crawl space, basement, barn, or shed, we can remove the animals and keep them out of your home or building. If you smell a strong odor and believe you have a dead animal in your home or business, Westchester Wildlife will locate and remove the animal, then disinfect the contaminated area. If an animal is found dead outside, it should be examined for signs of sickness and properly removed and disposed of. If left unremoved, the decay process will begin, complete with an infestation of maggots, and the stench will be unpleasant (not to mention the attraction of vermin and disease). If an animal is within a structure, the problem is worse, because the stench will gather within the home. Westchester Wildlife will locate and remove the animal and take the steps to disinfect the affected area to eliminate the odor. It is also important to inspect your home or business to find out how that animal gained entry and take the proper steps to prevent future problems. Animal Clearance Certificate - If a property inspector has recently found evidence of nuisance wildlife activity in a home that you are selling or buying, Westchester Wildlife can help. We'll perform a comprehensive inspection, remove the animals, close the entry points, repair damages, complete exclusion work, and provide you with an animal clearance certificate upon completion.

Fortunately, he found no invader. But he sealed up our chimney at the top, around its cap, where some bricks had crumbled, which had left a small opening. What we had heard, apparently, were the sounds of something trying to get in. Jim was knowledgeable, thorough, pleasant, and someone we will call again should we have a future issue. He gets our highest recommendation.

These guys and Milton in particular are fantastic. We were last call at the end of the day which turned out to be a real challenge. Milton wouldn’t quit until he got it done. We are so grateful to him.

We have been a customer of Westchester Wildlife for many years. We have a very large property and they have always responded right away to any of our wildlife emergencies. Their suggestion for animal proofing our attic and other areas around the house has proved to be an immense help with keeping out critters, birds & snakes. They also installed bat houses around our property which has helped with the insects. Very knowledgeable, professional and trustworthy. I highly recommend them!

Highly recommended!!! My daughter in California found Westchester Wildlife and spoke to Jim, who came out in less than 24 hours, found an access route, and removed the poor thing. Jim was kind and courteous and took care of everything. The price was extremely reasonable (and much less than what another company wanted to charge that wouldn't even promise a time to come). It may be that I have a mice problem and if I do then I will definitely call Jim again.

I couldn't be happier. Jim and Andrea are professional and knowledgable. Probably the best in the field. They explained everything to me every step of the way. I am confident that I will not have to worry about my house guests returning. Jim gave me total peace of mind.

The technician showed up on time.  We discussed removal options and whether it was better to remove the next from outside or inside.  The issues started when we discussed how to prevent the birds from returning.  The technician's solution was to place a piece of gray galvanized screening outside the vent.  The front of my house is white and at no time did he seem concerned about how his work might look afterwards.  He suggested that all they do is remove the animal and prevent it returning.  They are not carpenters and do not concern themselves with appearance.  I suggested alternate preventive solutions (including bird gel inside the vent, tightening the screen behind the vent, etc) and was told several times.  "This is just what we do."  
Once the nest was removed, I suggested another idea of placing pieces of the galvanized screening inside the vent slots to reduce the space for the birds and create an unwelcome environment for them. he told me he is going to do what he does and that I was "Messing with his head and interfering with his job."  I think he needs to understand that it is MY home.  To be clear, none of this was about the charge for the job.  Clearly if I wanted to remove a bird's nest in my attic I would have not called an exterminator in the first place.
However all's well that ends well.  He ended up taking my idea of placing screening inside the vent's slots and now there is no room for the bird's to enter and it cannot be seen from the outside.  It would be great if Westchester Wildlife came with more creative solutions and considered appearance without having to be pressed to do so.  That is why I cannot give them an A.

We found an animal had gotten into our attic when we found insulation and debris on our porch. Called a general exterminator, and they had Westchester Wildlife get in touch with us. Westchester Wildlife (Andrea and Milton) came out the same day, inspected the attic and roof for any signs of animal entry, and they found a squirrel likely had entered through some dry-rooted wood near the eaves of our roof. They had to remove part of our gutter to set a trap at the point of entry. They came back daily on weekdays (over span of ~6 days) to check the trap (they caught one squirrel on the second day). Afterwards, they sealed the hole with wire mesh and foam, covered it with aluminum, and replaced the gutter. Overall, they did a great job, and we can't even tell a patch was made. Andrea and Milton were professional and very responsive. They left us notes on the progress, and the office staff was very responsive and easy to get in touch with as well.

All went well. They arrived this morning as scheduled and conducted the internal and external inspection. Our relationship with Westchester Wildlife since its inception in 2012 has always been impeccable.
