Raccoon Removal in South Bronx, Bronx
Raccoons are increasingly common in South Bronx neighborhoods, finding shelter in attics, chimneys, and crawl spaces throughout Mott Haven, Melrose, and Hunts Point. These intelligent animals can cause serious structural damage and pose health risks to residents and families. Best Pest Control NYC provides professional, humane raccoon removal services tailored to the unique housing stock and urban environment of South Bronx.
Why South Bronx Has a Raccoons Problem
South Bronx's proximity to the Harlem River waterfront, Bronx Kill, and green spaces like St. Mary's Park creates ideal raccoon habitats and travel corridors into residential areas. The neighborhood's older building stock, including historic brownstones near the Hub and century-old apartment buildings along Grand Concourse, often have entry points that raccoons exploit for nesting.
Why Choose Us for Raccoon Removal in South Bronx
Raccoon removal is a multi-step process regulated by New York State — trapping, relocation, and exclusion work must all be performed by NYS DEC licensed wildlife specialists to ensure compliance and effectiveness. We start with an inspection of your attic, eaves, chimney, and exterior to confirm raccoon presence, identify entry points, and assess any damage to insulation, ductwork, or structure. We deploy live traps baited with appropriate attractants, check traps daily, and relocate captured raccoons in accordance with DEC regulations and humane treatment standards. Once removal is confirmed, we seal all identified entry points with heavy-gauge hardware cloth, metal flashing, and appropriate fasteners — our 30-day guarantee covers re-entry through any sealed point.

Are raccoons dangerous to my South Bronx home and family?▾
