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

Wildlife Removal Saranac Lake 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 York and Franklin County licensed and insured

• Performs full building inspections: enters and inspects attic
• Performs exclusion repairs, with guarantee against animal re-entry
• Offers cleanup of biohazardous wildlife waste



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

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

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

The above are just some of the services offered by Wildlife Removal Saranac Lake. 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. Wildlife Removal Saranac Lake also provides dead animal removal in Saranac Lake. 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 Saranac Lake 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 Saranac Lake. And remember, we are a private business, not Franklin County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (518) 891-0017. Franklin County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Saranac Lake Wildlife Tip #1:
Who to call to pick up roadkill
Animals can be hit by the passing vehicles on the state and national highways. This usually happens on roads that pass through forest areas. The animals generally chase their prey and many a time they may need to cross a road. Then a speeding car or any other vehicle unknowingly may hit it and kill it.

When an animal gets killed the car that hit it also may be damaged or people in the car also get hurt or injured in such accidents. Some cars or vehicles may not face any damage and speed away leaving the dead animal just at the spot.

Actually this is a wrong approach. Leaving the carcass there at the spot may cause further problems. Vultures and other birds and animals searching for food may flock there to feast on the dead animal.

These animals are unaware of the danger looming. Some other vehicles may hit the other animals while they are feasting or may pass off creating more mess that the first vehicle has created.

The tires running on the dead body of the animal especially if it is huge may crush it and spread the blood and the meat all around creating a lot of muddle. A stench may emanate from it and this heap of bones and meat may attract flies and other insects. The body starts decomposing and the growth of bacteria also may be the cause of some diseases.

So instead of leaving a roadkill at the spot of the accident, it would be good to call the highway patrol and let them know the details. Soon help would be sent. If possible with some help you can drag the carcass to the side of the road and lay it beneath a tree and cover it with some leaves, wood pieces or so. You may be in a hurry to reach some place you can tag the place for the authorities to find it so that they needful can be done of the carcass.

The authorities will deem fit what to do of the carcass according to its condition and size. There may not be much damage to the body then it may be sent to some scientific institute for some research work. The body may be useful for such institutes and research organisations in a lot of ways.

If the body is damaged a lot, then it may not be possible to take it too far from the spot. Then a hole can be dug in the area and then it can be buried there itself.

It may so happen that the roadkill is some pet animal and not a wild animal. Then it would be carrying some identification of some chip. After finding the details from the chip the authorities may contact the owners of the pet. Then the owners can decide what they wish to do with their dead pet. They may permit the authorities to bury it or may also ask the body to be transported to their place.

Let the authorities know about some roadkill so that it can be disposed in a proper manner.

Saranac Lake 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.
