Same-Day Response Available
TriState Wildlife is a full-service wildlife removal company serving New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. We were founded in 1998 by a master carpenter who started solving wildlife problems using the same skills he'd spent decades perfecting on high-end homes. That carpentry background is still the foundation of everything we do.
When we seal your home, it's built to last and designed to be invisible from the ground. We take pride in every detail. Our materials are manufacturer warrantied for 25+ years, and chosen to complement your home's aesthetics. We don't use cheap materials like spray foam and unpainted chicken wire to pad our profits. We remove the animal, close the door behind it, and guarantee the work in writing. The preferred company of local police departments, municipalities, and homeowners who've tried someone else first.
What We Do
Wildlife Removal Services
Bat Removal
One-way eviction devices only. Bats are protected in New York. Exclusion scheduled outside the June through August maternity season per DEC regulations. 25-year transferable warranty.
Squirrel Removal
We trap the colony and seal every entry point with professional-grade materials squirrels can't chew through. Guaranteed in writing.
Raccoon Removal
Humane trapping, 20+ mile relocation. Baby raccoons extracted by hand during maternity season and transported to licensed rehabilitators.
Groundhog Removal
Burrows under foundations, decks, and sheds compromise structural integrity. Trapping and exclusion to prevent return.
Dead Deer Removal
Removal and disposal from yards, driveways, ponds, and wooded areas. Competitive pricing with same-day removal available.
Skunk Removal
Trapping without agitation. If spray has occurred, we treat the affected area. Mating season calls peak February and March.
Bird Removal
Birds in vents, chimneys, and soffits. Most species federally protected. We hand-remove and seal the entry following strict protocols.
Rodent Removal
We find where mice and rats enter: utility gaps, foundation cracks. Seal the openings and address the interior population. No poisons.
Dead Animal Removal
We locate the animal, remove it, treat for bacteria and odor, and find the entry point so it doesn't happen again.
Opossum Removal
Humane trapping from under decks, porches, crawl spaces, and inside structures. Includes exclusion to prevent return.
Full Home Exclusion
Every current and potential entry point sealed with exterior-rated materials. Backed by an industry-leading written guarantee.
Attic Decontamination
After raccoons, squirrels, or bats, insulation is contaminated. We remove it, treat for bacteria and parasites, re-insulate, and document everything for insurance.
What Makes Us Different
A Carpenter's Approach to Wildlife Exclusion
Most wildlife companies trap the animal and spray foam over the hole. That foam breaks down in one season. Squirrels chew through it in a week. The animal comes back, the homeowner calls again, and the cycle repeats. That's how most of the industry works. It's not how we work.
Our founder spent decades in finished carpentry before he ever touched a live trap. When he started solving wildlife problems, he brought a carpenter's standards with him: professional-grade materials warrantied for 25+ years, hand-fitted to every gap. Vent covers custom-cut, painted, and color-matched to your trim. Every detail chosen to complement the home, not just close a hole. The goal isn't just to keep animals out. It's to do work you'd never know was there.
That's why we can offer an industry-leading written guarantee. Bat exclusion carries a 25-year transferable warranty. If wildlife re-enters through any point we sealed, we come back at no cost. We can make that promise because we use the right materials and apply them with the skill of someone who spent a career building homes, not just patching them.

Our Philosophy
Humane Removal, Demonstrated
We don't just say we're humane. We relocate every animal at least 20 miles from the capture site. During maternity season, we extract baby raccoons by hand, reunite them with their mother in a heated box at the release site, and transport orphans to licensed wildlife rehabilitators at our own expense. We check trapped female squirrels for signs of nursing before relocating, because we know there may be babies in the attic that can't survive without her.
Bats are never trapped. They're evicted through one-way devices that let them leave at dusk and prevent re-entry. We schedule bat exclusion outside maternity season because sealing a colony in with flightless pups isn't humane, and it's not legal in New York. We do this work because we genuinely love animals. We just prefer them outside your house.

"Scraped out the orange foam the other company used and replaced it with copper mesh and silicone. You can't even see it from the ground. Three months later, still squirrel-free."

Frequently Asked Questions
We provide a free on-site inspection before quoting any work. Pricing depends on the species, entry points, and scope of exclusion needed. We give upfront written estimates with no hidden fees, and no extra charge for evenings or weekends.
We're based in Westchester County with crews across our service territory. Most calls get a same-day response. Emergency situations like a bat in living space or an animal actively in the home get priority scheduling, 24/7.
For most species, it means live trapping and relocation 20+ miles from the capture site. For bats, it means one-way exclusion devices: bats exit but can't re-enter. We never use poison, and we don't kill animals that can legally be relocated. Baby animals are transported to licensed wildlife rehabilitators at our expense.
Every exclusion point we seal is backed by an industry-leading written guarantee. If wildlife re-enters through any point we sealed, we return and fix it at no charge. Bat exclusion carries a 25-year transferable warranty. The guarantee is in writing and transfers with the property.
