Wildlife Removal in Queens
Licensed & Insured · Same-Day Service · Guaranteed Results
Queens' position as New York City's most geographically diverse borough — bordering Jamaica Bay, Alley Pond Park, and extensive parkland — makes it one of the city's highest-pressure areas for urban wildlife conflicts. Opossums are common throughout residential Queens, sheltering under porches and decks in neighborhoods from Woodhaven to Little Neck. Skunks denning under stoops and in crawl spaces create odor crises and spray risks for family pets. Groundhogs tunnel under fences, retaining walls, and foundation slabs — destabilizing structures over time.
The Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge corridor funnels wildlife into residential neighborhoods along its perimeter, creating ongoing pressure in Howard Beach, Lindenwood, and Broad Channel. Queens' diverse housing — attached homes with accessible crawlspaces, detached colonials with porches, and garden apartments with accessible utility areas — provides ample denning opportunity for urban wildlife.
Jet Pest Control's licensed wildlife team handles all urban wildlife removal situations in Queens using humane methods compliant with New York State DEC regulations. We assess every situation individually, use appropriate live trapping and exclusion techniques, and follow up to ensure wildlife does not return. Whether you are dealing with a skunk under your deck or an opossum in your garage, we resolve the conflict safely and permanently.

Frequently Asked Questions
What wildlife is most commonly removed in Queens?
Opossums, skunks, groundhogs, and raccoons are the most frequent wildlife removal cases in Queens. The Jamaica Bay corridor creates elevated pressure from waterfowl and muskrats in waterfront neighborhoods.
What should I do if I see a skunk on my Queens property?
Keep pets and children away from the animal and call us immediately. Do not corner or attempt to chase the skunk — defensive spraying is their primary defense. We use humane removal methods that avoid triggering spray behavior.
How do groundhogs damage Queens homes?
Groundhog burrows undermine foundation slabs, destabilize retaining walls, and create soil subsidence under patios and walkways. Burrow entrances are also hazards for children and pets. Professional removal and burrow exclusion resolves the problem before structural damage accumulates.
How does Jet Pest Control handle wildlife in compliance with NY law?
All of our wildlife technicians are licensed New York State wildlife control operators. We use only DEC-approved humane trapping methods, follow all regulations regarding relocation, and maintain complete documentation of every wildlife removal job.
