Humane Removal
New York State Environmental Conservation Law requires the humane treatment of wildlife. Our wildlife animal trappers strictly comply with this requirement. We solve nuisance wildlife control problems using a decision making strategy that balances concerns for safety; the humane treatment of wildlife; practicality; landowner rights; the protection of wildlife populations and habitats; and ethical, legal, financial, and aesthetic issues.

Our wildlife control program is implemented in such a way as to avoid adversely affecting any non-target wildlife. Since our wildlife control professionals know about the habits and habitat of the target animal, they will exercise care to avoid using techniques that will affect non-targets such as pets and other animals.

LONG ISLAND WILDLIFE CONTROL • SAFETY TIPS

The Do's & Don'ts of WILDLIFE CONTROL on LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK
**DON'T FEED WILDLIFE !!! - If any wildlife approaches you, don't feed these animals. Walk away from the animals. Wildlife officials in New York often describe bears and other problem wildlife, such as coyotes and raccoons as “food-conditioned”. These animals are so used to receiving food directly from humans, or their trash that they seek them out, increasing the likelihood of an attack on a human being. They may have lost some fear of people, but they haven’t lost their instincts.
**A raccoon that is roaming around during daylight, is staggering and disoriented could be a rabid raccoon. Do not attempt to get rid of this raccoon yourself. Contact a wildlife removal expert from Long Island Animal Control to safely remove this wild animal from your property.
**If you see a raccoon, squirrel, or bat in your Long Island residence, remain calm, close all doors and windows. Exit the room and contact a wildlife control expert to safely remove the critter from your home. The wildlife is most likely living in the attic of your Long Island residence and if chased out of the house, it will find its way back into the attic of your home. Never corner an animal, or attempt to chase wildlife out of your home. Raccoons, squirrels and bats usually make their homes in attics to give birth to and rear their young.
**DON'T SEAL UP THE ANIMAL'S ENTRY POINT - into your home. This is probably the most common mistake made by Long Island homeowners and it is by far the worst mistake that you can make.  This almost always results in you sealing wildlife into your home.  Even if you are able to close up that hole while the animal is out, it will find its way back into your attic. A mother squirrel with pups in your attic, will just gnaw a new hole.  Should you seal a mother raccoon out of your attic, she will literally tear the roof of your home off in an attempt to get at her raccoon pups.
**PREVENTION -  an once of it, is worth more than a pound of cure, when it comes to wildlife control.  Keep raccoons, squirrels, birds, rats, mice, opossums and bats out of your residence by keeping your home in good repair. Have your gutters cleaned regularly, and install chimney caps.  Do not allow trees, or shrubs to touch the roof of your Long Island home.
**WIlDLIFE REPELLENTS -  Are not an effective wildlife control method. These products guarantee a quick fix solution to a wildlife control problem. The truth is, these wildlife control products never live up to the manufacturer’s claims. Animals habituate to repellents. None of the magical spray repellents, coyote urine, fox urine, or ultrasonic sound emitters get rid of wildlife. One of the reasons why people believe that repellents will solve their wildlife control problem lies in their faith in the chemical industry. Chemistry has solved a number of problems in the United States, so why couldn’t an odor keep an animal away? Mothball flakes, or granules are the most common ingredient used in wildlife repellent products. Naphthalene is the active ingredient contained in mothballs and has been shown to be carcinogenic. Dispersing mothballs throughout an attic doesn’t get rid of raccoons, opossums, squirrels, birds, rats, mice or bats and only serves to complicate the wildlife removal process.

Rabid Raccoon  Found on Long Island by a Nuisance Wildlife Animal Trapper

Nassau County Department of Health have asked Long Island residents to watch for unusual behavior in raccoons after one in Nassau was found to have the rabies virus. As a result of the recent discovery of a rabid raccoon in Nassau County, Long Island health officials have advised the public to be on the lookout for sick raccoons. The Nassau County Department of Health stated that a raccoon trapped by a wildlife control operator and submitted to New York State for testing, tested positive for the rabies virus. Long Island Health Commissioners  have ordered an increase in the raccoon rabies-watch program, particularly along the  border between Nassau County and Suffolk County. Long Island residents  have been asked to report "abnormally acting raccoons" and dead raccoons. Dead and dying raccoons should be removed by licensed wildlife control operators, according to the Nassau County Health Department.  The Health Department further  warned that people and pets should have no direct contact with dead or dying raccoons. Rabies is transmitted through a bite from a rabid animal, such as a raccoon, skunk, bat, fox, or coyote. This is a viral disease that causes inflammation of the brain. If untreated, the result is nearly always death. Nassau County residents have been asked to report raccoons that have come into contact with people or pets to the Nassau County Department of Health. Free raccoon removal Long Island, NY - There is no New York State government agency that provides free raccoon removal.

Are There Coyotes On Long Island, New York?

A coyote is in the canine family and is not native to Long Island.  A red fox is also in the canine family, is native to Long Island and is often mistakenly identified to be a coyote. German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois shepherds are often mistakenly identified to be coyote. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation estimates that there are 20,000 to 30,000 coyotes living in New York State. According to the New York State DEC on average 650 New Yorkers are hospitalized each year after dog attacks, but there are only a handful of coyote attacks annually in the entire nation. Eastern Coyote primarily feed on small mammals, such as mice, voles, rabbits, raccoons, squirrels and birds. They will also eat carrion, insects, berries, fruits, vegetables and human rubbish. Coyotes have a natural fear of humans and attacks by this wild animal on people have been historically rare. Coyotes are more active at night, but can also be seen during daylight hours. So, if you see a coyote during the day that does not automatically mean that it is rabid, but caution should be taken as with any wildlife. Coyotes live throughout upstate New York and also live in many urban and suburban areas. As surprising as it may seem, human developments make good coyote habitats. Westchester County and the parklands of the Bronx have established coyote populations. Coyotes have been seen at numerous locations in Manhattan, including Central Park. During the Coyote breeding season in the Spring, they expand their range in search of new territory. So, It is just a matter of time before coyotes venture across bridges, or swim to Long Island and become established.
