Wildlife removal in Bedford-Stuyvesant: what to know
Bed-Stuy is one of the largest historic brownstone districts in the country — beautiful 19th-century row houses whose age brings deep baseboard gaps, shared walls and old plumbing that let rodents, roaches and ants move between homes.
Garden-level and basement units are especially prone to 'water bugs' from drains and to ant trails entering around old foundations and windows.
Busy commercial corridors along Fulton Street and high rental turnover keep both rodent pressure and bed bug vigilance high.

How we treat wildlife removal in Bedford-Stuyvesant
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.
