Wildlife removal in Inwood: what to know
Inwood sits at Manhattan's northern tip beside Inwood Hill Park — the only natural forest left on the island — so homes here see more wildlife pressure (squirrels, raccoons) alongside the usual urban rodents and roaches.
Pre-war apartment stock along Dyckman Street and Seaman Avenue has the deep voids and shared plumbing that let cockroaches and mice move between units.

How we treat wildlife removal in Inwood
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.
