If you have wildlife moving in on you, Hudson Valley Wildlife Solutions is definitely the one to call. They are knowledgeable, capable, courteous, and reliable. When a mother raccoon moved into our attic crawl space with her new pups, I was ridden with anxiety. The first company we called said they could do the job, but when they finally arrived they had no good strategies. Fortunately, we next called Hudson Valley Wildlife Solutions. From the moment he arrived, Neil assured us he could resolve the problem, and he did. He also installed extra strong raccoon proof screening over our attic vents and chimney flues, which was part of the initial estimate. Neil arrived every day according to schedule, and was always friendly, courteous, and reassuring. I recommend Hudson Valley Wildlife Solutions without reservation. You will get everything you are paying for, which is compassionate professional service.

They charged $125.00 for the inspection (which is subtracted if you contract with them) but we appreciated the thorough look and discussion. We discovered that there were bats using our window shutters as a roost. Their attitude towards wildlife is "live and let live" which was important to us. They were diligent in checking the traps and letting us know what they were doing during each visit to check the traps, seal up more holes, etc. We did receive other estimates and they were the lowest we received. We have a year service and we have our fingers crossed that our resident wildlife have found other homes. We would use them again.

All went well. He returned several days in a row as he felt the squirrels would have to come out eventually. After he trapped the two, there have been no further noises above and I think the problem is solved, at least until next winter when we will see if they manage to chew their way back in!
Description of Work: I had a family of squirrels living in a gap beneath the flat roof over my bedroom. Neil came and evaluated the situation and was able to set traps both at the entrance to the space as well as on the roof over the area. Returning each day he managed to trap two squirrels and remove them from the property. He then capped the entrance temporarily until I can have it repaired properly.

Contacted Hudson Valley Wildlife Solutions through Angie’s List at 6:30 a.m. Neil called at 7:00 a.m. and we scheduled for 8:00 a.m. He arrived promptly at 8:00 checked the duct system and removed a dead squirrel, (which had been dead for a while) from one of the pipes. He set a have-a-heart trap in the chimney and also put a rope down the chimney. While he was on the roof he took pictures of troubled areas that needed repair. We discussed the installation of a chimney cap and set the job to be competed the next day. Neil left and said to call if a squirrel was captured. Within 2 hours I called. He was back at my house within an hour, removed the squirrels (two young ones were in the trap). He replaced the trap and said he’d be back the next morning. He came at 8:00 a.m. removed the trap and installed the chimney cap. Neil was very courteous and professional and very pleasant to talk to. I would definitely recommend Hudson Valley Wildlife Solutions.

Description of Work: I can't praise Neil enough (he did most of the work at my home). A+++ would be my rating on every of the areas listed above. Neil not only got rid of a red squirrel in an inaccessible attic, but he also did such a thorough search for potential rodent entry points, that even my mouse population has crashed in a span of only a few weeks. Neil also has a rare quality: it didn't take long for me to place absolute trust in his integrity, skills, and professionalism. I have absolutely no doubt that Neil and Matt will stand behind their two-year guarantee.

It was a very positive experience. I was very impressed with the humane handling of the bird and the level of knowledge Neil had about wildlife and endangered species. Excellent!
Description of Work: Hudson Valley Wildlife Solutions came to my house on a Sunday afternoon as I believed I had a squirrel in my chimney. It turned out to be wild bird which the gentleman removed gently and set free.

neil was prompt, courteous, knowledgeable, professional & very accommodating by working around my schedule. he was also very pleasant & a pleasure to deal with. i would recommend his service highly. the squirrels are gone!!!! if you had an a+ rating, neil would get it.
Description of Work: there were squirrels in the crawl space of my mom's ranch house. neil determined that he needed to seal up all holes along with installing a chimney cap so that they wouldn't get in again. i took about a week to trap the squirrels & do the other steps, only because the chimney cap had to be ordered. he trapped 3 squirrels humanely & released them a distance away. he also will return if there are further issues.

Prompt, polite and knowledgeable service from both Neil and Matt. After discovering a bat in our basement, we called late at night (almost 10p). They were very accommodating on the phone, explaining the pros and cons of having them come to the house that very night to remove the bat (we determined it wasn't really necessary). We were surprised when they were able to schedule an early appointment the following day. Both Neil and Matt were exceptionally knowledgeable and explained everything in a clear and concise way. They provided a full inspection of potential entry points for the bats and quoted prices (with guarantees) for mitigating the entry points. They safely removed the bat that was in our basement, too! We would certain do business with Hudson Valley Wildlife Solutions again, (but hopefully won?t have to).

Excellent, I left a message for Matt and received a call back within an hour and set an appointment for the next day, he was willing to come out that night if I wanted. Matt and Neil were punctual and did a through inspection of the house, made recommendations after explaining the causes and best solutions. They presented a very concise contract that was very fair. They arrived the first day on time a did a very thorough job and installed traps despite the subzero wind chill temperature. They came back daily to check the traps and remove the squirrels they caught. Once there were no signs of any squirrels left they sealed the entry points and applied some of the gel to repel the woodpeckers. They were both very pleasant and seemed to know their business - a great team to work with.
Description of Work: Removed squirrels from outside wall of house using traps, coming back daily to check and remove any squirrels. Patched holes and applied gel to repel woodpeckers that started the holes the squirrels used. Will be back in the spring to inspect other areas not accessible due to the snow. Will reapply gel throughout the year as needed.

They were extremely professional, courteous, prompt and very informative. They did a thorough job inspecting our home, went into all crawlspace areas, and ably explained what to look for and how to handle these situations. They provided great piece of mind, and expertly went through the entire process of how they handle the bat.
Description of Work: They removed a bat from our daughters room, inspected the home for any other bat activity, and potential entry points. They professionally reviewed all information, offered tips and methods to help ourselves.

The co-owners of this company are highly professional, intelligent, and thoughtful. Unlike other wildlife remediation companies that came to my home to give me a bid, Matt and Neil are highly knowledgeable, educated, and trained specifically on wildlife remediation. They are prompt, courteous, and did an excellent job. They are my bat man heros! I would highly recommend them to anyone that has a wildlife nuance in or around their home. (Paid by insurance)
Description of Work: They did bat remediation. Removing bats from my attic and dormers, and thoroughly sealed the entry points to keep the bats from retuning and being able to enter our home.
