If you have a problem with wildlife in your Livingston home, your best option is to hire a company that specializes in New Jersey 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 Jersey and Livingston, and I recommend the following:

EG Wildlife Removal

EG 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.

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

• Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
• Fully New Jersey and Essex 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



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

Livingston wildlife trapping - it's not as simple as it may seem. It's illegal in New Jersey 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 Jersey law. We offer Livingston raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at EG 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 Livingston 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 Livingston 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 Livingston rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

Bat removal is a highly specialized task. New Jersey 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 Livingston pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Livingston 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 Livingston trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Livingston 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. EG Wildlife Removal does both.

The above are just some of the services offered by EG 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. EG Wildlife Removal also provides dead animal removal in Livingston. 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 Livingston snake removal - most of the snakes in New Jersey are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Livingston. And remember, we are a private business, not Essex County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at 973-992-3000, ext. 3390. Essex County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Livingston Wildlife Tip #1:
How to Remove Birds From Soffits

One of the most troublesome tasks for homeowners in the United States is to scare birds away from soffits. It is not possible to remove these creatures using bare hands because they can transmit so many harmful disease viruses. Experts reveal that there are three types of birds that can make a home in the soffits they are starlings, English sparrow, and pigeons. Sometimes you can also have a woodpecker in your area.

If you have designed your home near the sea area; you may be often attacked by seagulls. These migratory birds are quite harmful as they carry so many harmful disease viruses with them. It is not so easy to scare them away from soffits, and they can even start roosting on your premises. In case if you keep on ignoring bird problem so long, they can cause trouble to your whole family, especially if you people are late risers. Birds start making too much noise in the premises that you cannot tolerate, and they can also cause mess all around while collecting debris and leaves for their nesting arrangement. With time, they can also start raising their babies on your premises and then it will become more difficult to get rid of them. Hence, professionals advise taking the right steps at the right time to scare birds away from soffits. This task must be done before they create a nest in your area to raise their babies.

Generally, the best idea is to prevent birds from visiting your home. And to do this, you must get some repellent and deterrent based solutions. The market is loaded with so many unique products that can help you get rid of birds from your house, yard, and garden area. But note that these things should not cause any harm to the creature. The fact is that most of the birds are protected by state laws so if you cause any harm to them, you may have to suffer legal issues and may need to pay a huge fine as well.

Some people prefer to use humane traps to capture the bird so that they can be later released far away from the city. But in this case, you have to be very careful in the selection of the right trap that does not cause harm to the bird. Prefer to pick the live cage traps that can be handled by beginners as well. Many homeowners even prefer to install bird spikes in their premises that prevent access of these birds with ease. The wire mesh can be used to cover the cracks and holes; it can also help in the paneling of soffits so that birds do not find a way inside. In case if none of these methods are capable enough to provide you desired results, it is good to move towards professional assistance. You can call expert bird exterminators from a licensed company and let them handle the whole bird removal procedure with trusted methods to ensure long-term relief.

New Jersey Wildlife Information:

New Jersey State bird: Eastern goldfinch
State mammal: Horse
tate fish: Brook trout
State insect: European honeybee

In the lovely state of New Jersey you'll find mountains, hardwood forests, pine forests, saltwater beaches and freshwater swamps. There are fields and plots of barren dust. New Jersey is one of the most bio-diverse places in the country. This variety means a fantastic selection of habitats for mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and birds. Over 1000 animal species live in New Jersey, not including humans.

The northwestern part of the state fits into the standard Northeast stereotype. It has hardwood forests and mountains much like Pennsylvania and New York. The northern part of the state is densely populated with people, and many of them make the commute to New York City for work. In this area, because of the habitat, black bears are frequent problem animals, raiding garbage cans at night. Some bears are daily visitors to neighborhood dumpsters and end up as a tourist attraction to distant observers. Coyotes are also found in this part of the state, but the wild canines are not as problematic as are bears in New Jersey.

The southern part of the state has a region known as the Pine Barrens. This landscape is full of thick pine forests and is sparsely populated by people. The Barrens have the usual host of skunks, raccoons, woodchucks, squirrels, and chipmunks, but they are also the home to the county's highest white-tailed deer population. The woods aren't just for the mammals. The Pine Barrens tree frog is a colorful amphibian that makes its home in the trees of New Jersey.

All those little creatures are great dinner ideas for the two largest snakes in the state, the black racer snake and the black rat snake. As you might expect, these large serpents look for rat-sized prey to make up their diets. Black racers and black rat snakes are not venomous. New Jersey only has two venomous snakes, the rattlesnake and the copperhead snake.

Birds are also numerous in the region. Bald eagles are slowly making a comeback, and the warmer weather is ideal for birds like robins, cardinals, sparrows, and geese. In fact, many migratory birds live in New Jersey but never have to migrate because of the mild temperatures. These birds tend to stay inland, leaving the coastal territories to seagulls and other crustacean-eating fowl.

You can always call EG Wildlife Removal, any time of day, at 973-607-2847, for a price quote for Livingston wildlife control services. I am confident that this is the best choice amongst wildlife removal companies in Livingston, NJ.
