"I hired this company to remove a squirrel from my attic. Like other reviews have stated, Louis Jr. was always professional and friendly. Louis Sr. on the other hand, is disrespectful and has no professionalism or integrity. He sent me a picture of the work that needed repair on my roof. He told me of all the years of his ?professional experience ? as a roofer. When he did the repair, he said it wasn?t a roof repair, it was a gutter repair, which was NOT what he initially told me. When I asked for pictures of the work done for insurance purposes, he said he would, via text and straight to my face. He never sent the pictures. I followed up several times asking for the pictures to be sent, very politely. After being ignored for a week, I texted and left a follow up voicemail, simply asking what was promised to me. He literally sent me a text response telling me ?he did not like my text, and never to call him for any services again. The nerve!! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! Beware!"

"I just got off the phone with the owner Ray from the Queens location who is completely unprofessional. I had called a month ago to fix a water bug problem in my boiler room. I paid $220 for this service. A week after I noticed a water bug near my bedroom. (FYI my house is completely immaculate so it's not coming from anywhere else but my basement). I immediately called to say that the spray they used didn't work, and they told me to give it some more time. Fast forward a month later and I still have the same problem. I had called Ray a second time to tell him how the problem was never resolved in the first place. I asked if they can come back and try using the gravel instead of the spray because it's stronger. I feel that I paid for a service that I never received. However Ray didn't think I was a good enough customer because I only call yearly for summer service. He wants to scam and get me to pay for monthly service blaming it on rain. (It's 90 degrees today) I told him I didn't mind paying for monthly service but that I would like him to waive a one time fee being that the bugs never responded to the chemicals used. I can understand if the problem returned months later but not one week later. Do not use their service!!"

FAQs for animal removal projects in Long Island City, NY

DIY animal removal is rarely a good idea and is not advised for many reasons. First, these types of animals can carry diseases and, therefore, pose a health risk to you, your family, and your pets if mishandled. Second, depending on your city or municipality, it may be illegal to remove or handle wildlife yourself. 

Sealing your home against these animals yourself is also a bad idea. Trapping an animal under your house will cause odor and insect problems when it passes away. 

Pest control is not the same as animal removal. Pest control specialists treat for insects and bugs, often by using chemicals. Animal removal specialists try to avoid chemicals if possible and instead work to trap and move the animal that's causing problems. 

Since each expert has their own removal methods, it's best to contact a pest control professional for insects and bugs and an animal control specialist for other animals.

Animal removal specialists specialize in removing critters and wildlife from in and around your home. These include:

  • Bats

  • Birds

  • Groundhogs

  • Moles and voles

  • Opossums

  • Mice and rats

  • Raccoons

  • Skunks

  • Squirrels

The specialist's method to remove these critters will depend on the animal. For example, groundhogs will be live-trapped and relocated, whereas, for birds, the expert will remove and discard the inactive nest and sanitize the area. 

You might be tempted to call your local municipality to remove animals from your property, such as a groundhog burrowing in your yard or raccoons getting into your trash cans. However, they typically only remove domestic animals like dogs and cats from properties, or sick and injured wildlife that pose a public safety risk or health threat, such as a rabid animal. They typically do not capture or remove healthy wildlife.

Animal removal professionals have the tools, knowledge, and skills to trap and remove wild animals adequately and humanely. They also can relocate them correctly.

Professional animal removal costs between $200 and $600 for average homeowners. However, depending on the type and number of critters removed, this cost could range from $85 to $1,400

This cost does not include the cost of home damage caused by the animal, which could be as low as $300 for minor drywall repair or as much as $15,000 for crawl space cleaning and restoration.
