If you have a problem with wildlife in your Geneva home, your best option is to hire a company that specializes in New York wildlife removal only. This is a specialty business, and regular pest control companies do not use the proper techniques to solve animal problems. I have spent many years reviewing New York and Geneva, and I recommend the following:

Professional Wildlife Removal
Cell Phone: 315-235-3490

NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Ontario County Animal Services: (315) 789-2603

Professional Wildlife Removal specializes primarily in removing animals from attics of homes and buildings - this includes squirrels in attics, raccoons, and rats or mice in homes. New York also has a documented problem with bats in buildings, and Professional Wildlife Removal is specially trained in bat removal. They also perform general wildlife trapping services, such as the capture and removal of skunks or opossums on the property. Call 315-235-3490 to discuss your critter problem and schedule a same-day or next-day appointment. Click here to learn more about what prices we charge in 2020.

When hiring a company to solve your wild animal problem, you want these features:

• Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
• Fully New York and Ontario County licensed and insured
• Works 7 days per week (critters don't take weekends off)
• Performs full building inspections: enters and inspects attic
• Performs exclusion repairs, with guarantee against animal re-entry
• Offers cleanup of biohazardous wildlife waste



Professional Wildlife Removal is a full-service Geneva wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Geneva pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Professional Wildlife Removal performs a full inspection of the home or property, and determines why the animal(s) are there, and if inside a building, how the animals got inside. All animals (including rodents) are trapped and removed, or if possible, removed from the building using special exclusion devices. Once the animals are gone, preventative repairs are essential, and cleanup is sometimes recommended.

Geneva wildlife trapping - it's not as simple as it may seem. It's illegal in New York to trap without a license. Trap type is very important and there are many different types, bait is somewhat relevant, trap placement is vital, and there are dozens of small things that are very important to know. Safety is a concern. Then once the animal is trapped, it must be removed and dealt with in the proper manner according to New York law. We offer Geneva raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Professional Wildlife Removal. Many types of animals like to live in attics. This includes squirrels, raccoons, rats, mice, bats, birds, and even possums. Critters like to go into attics for a safe place to live and raise their young. Removing animals from attics is very complex work, partly because of the presence of baby animals. If you need Geneva squirrel removal, we can remove all the squirrels from your attic, and seal out any future ones. Read more about how to get rid of squirrels.

Rodent control must be done in a very specific way. First off, the most important thing is that all the openings that rats and mice can use to enter a house be sealed. Then all the rodents must be physically trapped and removed. Never, ever use poison! Most Geneva exterminators will just use this lazy poison technique to kill rodents, and it causes more harm than good - dead stinky rats, and it doesn't solve the problem. Call us for correct Geneva rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

Bat removal is a highly specialized task. New York is known to have colonizing bats who often live in buildings. Bats love attics. If not removed, the colony can grow to a very large size over the years. The bat droppings are often corrosive and cause health risks. The same goes for bird droppings on or in buildings. We perform Geneva pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Geneva bat removal. We remove 100% of the bat colony and seal the building so that it's totally bat-proof. Read more about how to get rid of bats.

If you have animals inside a house, no job is complete without proper exclusion repairs. If you simply hire a Geneva trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Geneva wildlife control company that identifies 100% of the animal entry points into your building, and seals them shut with professional repairs. In addition, in many cases animals have left waste or contamination behind, and you'll want a company that can provide professional cleaning services. Professional Wildlife Removal does both.

The above are just some of the services offered by Professional Wildlife Removal. We also trap and remove animals that destroy lawns, such as moles, or digging animals. Sometimes animals like opossums will live under buildings, steal pet food, raid garbage cans, etc. Read about how to get rid of opossums. Skunks commonly live under sheds or decks, and set up a den. We can trap and remove them without them spraying. Read about how to get rid of skunks. Professional Wildlife Removal also provides dead animal removal in Geneva. If you need help with any other wildlife conflict, from a fox, beaver, groundhog, or any other critter, we can solve it. We also do Geneva snake removal - most of the snakes in New York are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Geneva. And remember, we are a private business, not Ontario County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (315) 789-2603. Ontario County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Geneva Wildlife Tip #1:
Raccoon Repellent

Raccoons may look cute and fuzzy, but if you have one around your home you know what a nuisance they can be. They not only get into everything, but they carry a wide variety of illnesses, including rabies, which are very dangerous to you, your family, and your pets. You simply can't have these creatures around and feel that your home is safe.

The trouble is that once they have found food at your home they will keep coming back. Just a one-time find at your home and you have an invited guest who will return over and over again.

Many people turn to commercial products to try to resolve this problem, but the problem is that many of these don't work. You can spend quite a bit of money and find that the raccoon still returns.

This can be very frustrating, especially if you are starting to think you will not succeed. You get to the point of thinking that the raccoon is going to be a permanent member of your family. But this does not have to be the case. There are natural repellents that you can create and use to keep raccoons away, and the best thing is that they actually work.

One of the best remedies is a solution that you can actually use on virtually any animal and gain positive results. I even used it on my kids to keep them out of the cookie jar - just kidding. What you do is mix a bottle of tabasco or hot sauce with a gallon of water, a cayenne pepper and a small amount of dish soap. Tabasco sauce and cayenne pepper will instantly get the results you are looking for. The moment the raccoon bites into something in your garbage can or a plant you have in your garden he or she is going to go running for the first drink of water it can find.

Hot peppers will leave that raccoon's taste buds suffering for quite some time. This is a lesson that will not be soon forgotten, and will keep the raccoon away. To be on the safe side, use it for a few weeks just to make sure that the raccoon knows you mean business.

Just as a word of caution, whenever you take plants out of your garden to use for your own purposes ensure that you wash the thoroughly before eating. You don't want to find your mouth burning either. Call us for Canandaigua wildlife removal. We also specialize in Canandaigua rodent control, Canandaigua bat removal, and Canandaigua animal trapping.

Geneva Wildlife Tip #2:
How to keep away snakes from your yard

Keep Away Sources of Food - Snakes love to eat small animals, so you want to make sure that you do whatever you can to keep mice, rats, frogs, and other small critters away from your property. If you do not know how to keep these animals away we provide you with some great tips to get rid of these vermin. Remember if there is food around then the snake is not going anywhere.

Fill in Holes and Gaps in the Ground - If you have a place where there is a gap or hole in the ground, you can be sure that a snake will see that as a great place to set up shop. One of the most common places you will see this happen is if you have a gopher that has dug a hole in your yard. This is like a bed and breakfast to a snake. It can eat the gopher for food, and use the series of tunnels the gopher has dug as its new home.

Close Holes and Gaps in Your Home - many think that if they remove the problems in their yard that they have solved the problem, but if there are spots in the siding of your home where the snake can get into your home then you can count on it doing so. Your home makes just as inviting of a place to live as outside. In fact, it is actually an even better location. There are much fewer predators it has to worry about in your home. In fact, you may be the only predator to it, and in most cases most people are more afraid of the snake than the snake is of them. This means it can live in relative peace inside the walls or underneath the washing machine in your home. Add to it the fact that you probably have mice or other little critters in the walls of your home as well, and the snake has just found a more upscale bed n breakfast to live in. Make sure that you have closed off these gaps and put up wire mesh so that the snake cannot burrow its way in.

New York Wildlife Information:

New York State State bird: Eastern bluebird
State mammal: Beaver
State amphibian: Wood frog
State fish: Brook trout and striped bass
State insect: 9-spotted ladybug
State reptile: Common snapping turtle

New York, the Empire State, has a diverse population of animals, attributed to the state's variety of landscapes and wide range of temperatures. Not only are there heat-loving animals in New York, like snakes, frogs, and turtles, there are a good number of animals just as oriented to survival in cold weather, like wolves, bear, and deer. Most of these cold-to-warm critters have adaptations not seen in other states. White-tailed deer, for example, will store fat and develop thick coats for the cold season, whereas their cousins in the warmer southern states have no need for such an improvement. If winter is too much for an animal in New York State, it either enters of form of hibernation or it migrates. This is true for the numerous bats, woodchucks, geese, amphibians, and snakes in the area.

People who aren't from New York often associate the state with the large city that shares its name. New York City, though it houses the majority of people in the state, is just a small part of the landscape. Upstate New York, which can be rural or urban, is far larger, and has the bulk of wildlife New York is known for.

Unfortunately, because New York is widely populated with the exception of the Adirondack Mountains, most of the animals in the state have the potential to become nuisances. Residents have their fair share of raccoon, opossum, skunk, and woodchuck invasions every year. Beaver, though not as densely populated as they once were, number in the hundreds of thousands. These creatures are not terribly problematic unless homeowners live near bodies of water that are being flooded or drained due to beaver activity. Some landscape damage from tree-felling is also characteristic of this wood-loving critter. While beaver, skunks, squirrels, and woodchucks aren't predatory to people, there are a number of dangerous wild animals in New York that can become pests. The number one problem predator is the coyote. Because of a population boom, this canine has spread to both urban and rural areas, killing pets and livestock, posing a threat to small children. Coyotes are also common carriers of rabies in the state along with skunks and raccoons.

When it comes to rabies, however, bats are still the number one species for infection in New York. There are thousands of confirmed animal rabies cases in the state every year, and the Department of Environmental Control took to vaccinating the animal population with vaccine-doctored food blocks dropped into the wild by way of helicopter.
