If you have a problem with wildlife in your Levittown 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 Levittown, and I recommend the following:

Magic Touch Wildlife Control
Cell Phone: 516-209-2566

NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Nassau County Animal Services: (516) 843-7722

Magic Touch Wildlife Control 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 Magic Touch Wildlife Control 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 516-209-2566 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 2023.

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 Nassau 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



Magic Touch Wildlife Control is a full-service Levittown wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Levittown pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Magic Touch Wildlife Control 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.

Levittown 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 Levittown raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Magic Touch Wildlife Control. 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 Levittown 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 Levittown 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 Levittown 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 Levittown pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Levittown 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 Levittown trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Levittown 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. Magic Touch Wildlife Control does both.

The above are just some of the services offered by Magic Touch Wildlife Control. 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. Magic Touch Wildlife Control also provides dead animal removal in Levittown. 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 Levittown 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 Levittown. And remember, we are a private business, not Nassau County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (516) 843-7722. Nassau County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Levittown Wildlife Tip #1:
What Can I Do If I Find a Raccoon under My Porch?

Your home is the most important investment you will ever make. It is the showcase of your life. Something that you treasure. The place where you get away from all the cares of the world. It truly is your sanctuary.

However, wild animals can quickly ruin that tranquility. That is especially true if they have set up their home or are a frequent visitor underneath your porch. This is just as true if it is an animal like a raccoon.

The Raccoon Under the Porch

The raccoon under your porch can be a serious problem. Not only do you have to worry about your dog or cat coming in contact with this animal, but it may actually scratch or claw you at some point. Raccoons are not particularly aggressive animals, but they are wild animals. That means that when cornered, they will come out swinging. That could be a real threat to you, your children, or your pets.

Adding to the concern is that these animals are the carriers of a number of diseases. If you were scratched or bitten by one of these animals, you could get something as severe as rabies, a disease that would be a death warrant for you if not treated right away. However, you don't even have to come in contact with these animals. Their feces poses a risk to you too, as you can get parasites and bacteria from.

Keeping the Raccoon Away

The challenge of having a raccoon under your porch is that they are not easy to get out. If you have an open porch, the challenge is even more daunting. How do you keep an animal away when there are a million ways for it to enter under your porch?

Let's start with an enclosed porch. If you have a situation where raccoon is getting under your porch, then you probably have some kind of crack, blemish, or hole that is allowing you to get in. To correct this, you just need to make sure that you fix whatever the animal is using to gain access. This means repairing a broken board, ceiling a loose board, or blocking the animal from digging underneath the porch to get inside.

If it is that your porch is open, then your options are to try to keep it away in the first place. This can be done by using something like a commercial repellent. These products deter animals like raccoons by releasing an odor that the raccoons find to be repulsive. It is irritating to them, causing them to leave.

You may also want to consider homemade repellents. You can make a pretty good one by boiling hot peppers and water. Then spray that around the outside of your porch area. The odor of the hot peppers will irritate the nose of the raccoon, causing it to leave.

No matter whether you use a commercial or homemade repellent, you will need to respray this at least once a week. The effects will wear off, especially if it rains.

Levittown Wildlife Tip #2:


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.

You can always call Magic Touch Wildlife Control, any time of day, at 516-209-2566, for a price quote for Levittown wildlife control services. I am confident that this is the best choice amongst wildlife removal companies in Levittown, NY.
