Why Lower East Side Has a Squirrels Problem
Lower East Side properties, particularly the historic tenements between Houston and Delancey Streets and buildings near Sara D. Roosevelt Park, are especially vulnerable to squirrel activity due to mature trees and aging rooflines. The neighborhood's proximity to the East River waterfront and numerous community gardens provides abundant food sources that attract squirrels to nearby residential buildings.

Squirrel Removal in Lower East Side — FAQs
How much does squirrel removal cost in the Lower East Side?▾
Squirrel removal in the Lower East Side typically costs between $900 and $2,500, depending on the severity of the infestation, number of entry points, and extent of damage repair needed. Multi-unit buildings and properties requiring extensive exclusion work may fall on the higher end of this range.
Why are squirrels so common in Lower East Side buildings?▾
The Lower East Side's combination of mature street trees, proximity to parks like Seward Park and East River Park, and older buildings with deteriorating rooflines create perfect conditions for squirrels. Pre-war buildings often have gaps in soffits, vents, and rooflines that squirrels exploit to access attics and wall voids for nesting.
What damage can squirrels cause to Lower East Side properties?▾
Squirrels can cause significant damage by chewing through electrical wiring (creating fire hazards), gnawing on wood beams and insulation, contaminating spaces with urine and feces, and creating entry points that allow other pests to enter. In older Lower East Side buildings, they can also damage historic architectural features and compromise structural integrity.
How quickly can you remove squirrels from my Lower East Side property?▾
Most squirrel removal projects in the Lower East Side take 3-7 days from initial inspection to complete removal, depending on the number of squirrels and complexity of the infestation. We begin trapping immediately and provide same-day or next-day service for emergency situations. Full exclusion work to prevent re-entry is completed once all squirrels are removed.
