Why Long Island City Has a Squirrels Problem
Long Island City's blend of converted industrial lofts and new construction along the waterfront provides ideal nesting sites for squirrels in roof gaps, ventilation systems, and older masonry buildings. The area's proximity to parks like Gantry Plaza State Park and tree-lined streets in historic districts means squirrel populations remain active year-round, making professional exclusion essential for property protection.
Why Choose Us for Squirrel Removal in Long Island City
Squirrels in attics and walls cause significant damage — chewing electrical wiring, destroying insulation, and creating fire hazards — so removal and exclusion need to happen together, not in sequence. Our technicians inspect the exterior to map all entry points, then install one-way exclusion devices that allow squirrels to exit but not re-enter, humanane approach that avoids trapping and relocating nursing young. Once all squirrel activity has ceased (confirmed by monitoring), we seal every entry point with galvanized hardware cloth, metal flashing, and caulk — materials squirrels cannot chew through. Our 30-day guarantee covers re-entry through any point we sealed, and we provide a full written report of all exclusion work performed.
