What Customers Are Saying
Reviews from Putnam County
"We had bats in the eaves of our lakefront home for two seasons before we found TriState. They installed one-way devices, sealed every gap, and gave us a 25-year written warranty. Not a single bat since."

"Raccoon tore through the soffit and had babies in the attic. They removed the whole family, decontaminated, replaced the insulation, and handled the insurance paperwork. Could not ask for more."

"Flying squirrels in our 1890s farmhouse. They found entry points I didn't realize we had, and sealed everything. True craftsmen. The work is invisible from the street."

"Skunks had taken up residence under our front porch. Kris trapped two of them, sealed the porch with heavy mesh, and the smell was gone within a day. Professional from start to finish."

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Raccoons, bats, squirrels (gray and flying), groundhogs, skunks, and opossums are the most common calls. Putnam's heavy woodland, reservoir corridors, and proximity to Fahnestock State Park create year-round wildlife pressure across every town.
We provide a free on-site inspection before quoting any work. Pricing depends on the species, number of 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 headquartered in Harrison, about 30 minutes from most Putnam County towns. Most calls get a same-day response. Emergencies like a bat in the living space or an animal actively in the home get priority scheduling.
No. We use humane live trapping with 20+ mile relocation for most species. Bats are excluded with one-way devices. Rodents are controlled with targeted trapping, never poison. Poison causes secondary problems including dead animals in walls and risk to pets.
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. The guarantee transfers with the property if you sell your home.
Yes. Properties near Lake Mahopac, the reservoir system, and wooded corridors see higher wildlife activity. Water sources attract raccoons, and the surrounding tree canopy gives bats and squirrels direct roof access. These properties benefit most from a full home exclusion.
CASE STUDY: MAHOPAC, NY
A Flying Squirrel Colony Above a Lakefront Bedroom
A Mahopac homeowner heard fast paced running and what sounded like marbles rolling above the bedroom ceiling after sunset. Flying squirrels had colonized the attic through quarter-inch gaps where the roof met the gable trim. Because flying squirrels live in colonies, trapping requires patience: we ran multiple sets over twelve days and relocated nineteen squirrels. Every gap along the roofline was sealed with metal barriers and flexible long-term adhesives. The work is invisible from the ground and carries a 10-year guarantee.
CASE STUDY: COLD SPRING, NY
A Bat Found in a Child's Bedroom
A Cold Spring family found a single bat circling a child's bedroom at 2 a.m. We captured the bat for rabies testing and walked the family through the public-health protocol with the county. An attic inspection revealed a big brown bat colony entering through the attic vents. We then sealed every secondary vulnerability, and after the maternity season had ended installed custom eviction devices over the vents to remove the colony. Since the bat tested negative, the family did not require rabies vaccinations, and their home has been bat free ever since.
