Squirrel Removal in Bedford-Stuyvesant, NY
Bed-Stuy's iconic brownstone blocks are among New York's most beautiful — and among its most pest-challenged. The continuous party walls connecting four- and five-story limestone facades allow German cockroaches, mice, and bed bugs to migrate between units without ever touching the outside world. Many buildings along Fulton Street and Putnam Avenue retain original cast-iron plumbing and lathe-and-plaster walls, both of which create hidden voids ideal for harborage. Seasonal ant invasions from street-level tree pits are a fixture in spring, and Norway rats are a year-round presence near the commercial strips. Jet Pest Control has deep experience with Bed-Stuy's specific housing stock — we know how to treat connected brownstones as a system, not unit by unit — resulting in elimination rather than just displacement.
Gray squirrels are Nassau County's most common wildlife pest — agile, persistent, and capable of chewing through virtually any material to gain access to attic spaces. Once inside an attic, squirrels establish nesting sites, contaminate insulation with urine and droppings, and gnaw on electrical wiring — creating both structural damage and fire hazards. Nassau County's mature suburban tree canopy provides overhead highway access to rooflines throughout the county, meaning every home with a nearby tree is a potential squirrel target. Flying squirrels are also active in Nassau County, entering attics through smaller gaps than their gray cousins. Our Nassau County squirrel removal program includes humane trapping, exclusion of all entry points, and attic restoration services.
Squirrel Removal FAQ — Bedford-Stuyvesant
How do squirrels get into Nassau County home attics?
Gray squirrels enter through gaps at roof-soffit intersections, around chimney flashing, through deteriorated roof vents, and by chewing through wood trim and fascia boards. Any opening larger than 1.5 inches is a potential entry point.
Is squirrel damage covered by homeowners insurance in Nassau County?
Many Nassau County homeowners insurance policies cover sudden and accidental wildlife damage but exclude gradual deterioration. We provide detailed inspection reports and damage documentation that can support insurance claims.
How do you prevent squirrels from re-entering my Nassau County attic?
After removing all squirrels via trapping, we perform a complete exclusion — sealing all entry points with galvanized steel hardware cloth, metal flashing, and steel wool that squirrels cannot chew through. A written warranty covers the exclusion work.
How do bed bugs spread in Bed-Stuy's rowhouse buildings?
Bed-Stuy's pre-war rowhouses are physically connected through shared party walls, allowing bed bugs to migrate between units without any human assistance. Absentee landlord buildings on Fulton St and Gates Ave often have untreated infestations in adjacent units that reinfest treated apartments. Jet's Bed-Stuy protocol includes neighbor inspections and barrier treatments at shared wall utility penetrations to break the reinfestation cycle. Call (516) 774-5051.
What pest issues come from aging plumbing in Bed-Stuy buildings?
Pre-war plumbing systems in Bed-Stuy's rowhouses create moisture-rich harborage for German cockroaches — leaking pipe chases under kitchen sinks and bathroom walls are primary harborage zones. Jet's cockroach treatment targets these moisture-driven harborage points with gel bait and IGR applications, combined with recommendations for plumber repairs that eliminate conditions supporting re-infestation.
