Wildlife Removal in Forest Hills, NY

Forest Hills presents a different face from most of Queens — the Tudor-style apartment buildings of the Forest Hills Gardens planned community, built around a private LIRR station in 1909, give the neighborhood a distinctly suburban feel unusual in the borough. The neighborhood's concentration of pre-war co-ops and the Gardens' historic Tudor buildings have aging plumbing and basement systems where rodents and cockroaches can establish footholds. The heavily wooded Queens Boulevard median and the Forest Park border bring tick and wildlife pressure to properties on the southern edge. Jet Pest Control serves Forest Hills with the discretion and thoroughness that the neighborhood's co-op boards and homeowners expect — comprehensive inspections, targeted treatments, and no-residue protocols.

Nassau County's suburban landscape borders extensive natural areas — Hempstead Lake State Park, Bethpage State Park, and the county's network of preserves — that support robust populations of raccoons, opossums, groundhogs, skunks, and other wildlife that regularly interact with residential properties. Raccoons are the most common attic invader in Nassau County, with females establishing maternity dens in March through May that require careful, humane removal to avoid separating mothers and young. Groundhogs tunnel under sheds, decks, and foundations. Skunks den under porches and in crawlspaces, creating odor and disease risks. Our Nassau County wildlife removal team handles all native wildlife humanely and in compliance with DEC regulations, providing permanent exclusion after removal.
