Raccoon Removal in New Square, NY
New Square's tightly clustered village layout concentrates raccoon activity around the food sources and roofline access points that dense residential development produces. Older buildings along the village perimeter near New Square Road have gaps at fascia seams, deteriorated soffit sections, and chimney crowns that raccoons test repeatedly once they identify the roofline as accessible. Street trees along Jefferson Avenue and Roosevelt Avenue provide canopy routes to rooftops, and the close spacing of New Square's structures means a raccoon that establishes a den in one roofline has immediate access to adjacent buildings without returning to street level — a situation that rarely stays confined to a single address once a female begins raising a litter. DEC-licensed trapping and one-way exclusion with steel mesh sealing at confirmed entry points interrupts that pattern before denning becomes entrenched.
Raccoon Removal in New Square — FAQ
Can raccoons really get into multi-unit buildings in New Square — it seems too urban for that?
Raccoons are comfortable in dense residential settings and often bolder in them. Mature street trees provide canopy access to rooflines, and concentrated food sources around multi-unit buildings are a consistent draw. Close building spacing means a raccoon denned in one structure can access adjacent rooflines without returning to street level.
How do you exclude raccoons from a building without trapping every animal on the block?
The approach focuses on the entry point an animal is using. A one-way exclusion door is fitted at the confirmed gap, letting occupants exit while preventing reentry. Once the space is clear, steel mesh closes the opening. Other raccoons on the block are unaffected by work done at an adjacent building.
We hear thumping on the roof at night near Jefferson Avenue — is that raccoons?
Nighttime rooftop movement — heavy footstep sounds rather than light scurrying — is consistent with raccoon activity. Gray squirrels, which also reach rooftops, are active only during daylight. An inspection identifies which animal is present and where it is gaining access, which may not be directly above where the noise is loudest.
What happens to a raccoon after it's trapped in New Square?
Raccoons are handled and transported by DEC-licensed operators in accordance with New York State wildlife regulations. Our focus on the property side is ensuring the entry point is sealed after removal so the same site is not reoccupied by the next animal following the established scent into the area.
