Squirrel Removal in City Island, Bronx
City Island's unique waterfront location and older Victorian-era homes create ideal conditions for squirrel infestations in attics, soffits, and crawl spaces.

Best Pest Control NYC provides humane, effective squirrel trapping and exclusion tailored to this charming maritime community.
Why City Island Has a Squirrels Problem
City Island's tree-lined streets, proximity to Pelham Bay Park, and abundance of waterfront homes bordered by oak and maple trees make it particularly attractive to gray squirrels seeking shelter. The island's historic architecture, including homes along King Avenue and City Island Avenue, often features the older rooflines and wooden siding that squirrels exploit for attic access.
Why Choose Us for Squirrel Removal in City Island
Squirrels in attics and walls cause significant damage — chewing electrical wiring, destroying insulation, and creating fire hazards — so removal and exclusion need to happen together, not in sequence. Our technicians inspect the exterior to map all entry points, then install one-way exclusion devices that allow squirrels to exit but not re-enter, humane approach that keeps mothers and young together during removal. Once all squirrel activity has ceased (confirmed by monitoring), we seal every entry point with galvanized hardware cloth, metal flashing, and caulk — materials squirrels cannot chew through. Every service includes a service agreement — terms depend on the service and are confirmed on the call.
