Wildlife Removal in Manhattan
Licensed & Insured · Same-Day Service · Guaranteed Results
Manhattan may be the world's most urbanized island, but its extensive park system — covering over 30,000 acres — supports a diverse urban wildlife population. Raccoons, opossums, skunks, and waterfowl are regular residents of Central Park, Riverside Park, Inwood Hill Park, and the smaller green spaces throughout the borough. As these parks become increasingly wildlife-dense, animals move into adjacent residential areas, creating conflicts that require professional resolution.
Opossums shelter under stoops in Harlem and Washington Heights neighborhoods, emerging at night to forage in residential blocks. Skunks establish dens in crawlspaces and under ground-level additions in upper Manhattan row houses. Building entry points that go unaddressed become repeatedly used by successive generations of wildlife.
Jet Pest Control's licensed wildlife removal team handles all urban wildlife conflicts in Manhattan with humane methods compliant with New York State DEC regulations. We understand the access requirements and building management protocols of Manhattan properties and coordinate with co-op boards, building managers, and individual residents to resolve wildlife conflicts efficiently. Our work protects both the residents and the animals involved.

Frequently Asked Questions
What wildlife situations are most common in Manhattan?
Raccoon access to pre-war building attics and mechanical spaces, opossums denning under stoops and in basement window wells, and skunk dens in ground-level crawlspaces are the most common wildlife removal calls we receive in Manhattan.
Is there wildlife in Central Park that enters nearby apartments?
Yes. Central Park's raccoon and opossum populations are well established, and buildings along Central Park West and the park's perimeter see regular wildlife intrusion attempts. Annual exclusion maintenance is advisable for any building adjacent to the park.
How does Jet handle wildlife removal in Manhattan co-op buildings?
We work with building management and supers to coordinate access, schedule work during appropriate hours, and minimize disruption to residents. Documentation of all work is provided for building records. We handle both the removal and the exclusion work in a single coordinated program.
What should Manhattan residents do if they find injured wildlife?
Contact the NYC Urban Park Rangers or a licensed wildlife rehabilitator for injured animals. For nuisance wildlife causing property damage or creating health and safety concerns, call Jet Pest Control for professional licensed removal.
