NEWS MATTERS

Rodents Looking Elsewhere

The closure of restaurants and the retreat by people indoors affects rats' foraging habits and behaviors. Not long after the coronavirus closed bars and restaurants on Long Island, rats came out of hiding. Humans worldwide are changing their behaviors due to the threat of the coronavirus pandemic. In some places, quarantine means rubbish that rats are dependent upon is no longer available, so they also adapt. Cut off from restaurant trash in dumpsters, the rats looked elsewhere for food. Wandering hungry rats have been seen in new areas, including residential neighborhoods and at odd hours for the usually nocturnal animal. Rats are formidable mammals that are masters of adaptation, spread disease, and damage Long Island homes. There have been fifteen New Yorkers who have become ill with leptospirosis this year, with one case being fatal. Leptospirosis is a zoonotic bacterial disease typically spread through the urine of rats. Leptospirosis can cause severe liver and kidney damage.

The Need To Conquer Garbage

One issue that the new mayor of New York City will be able to unite New Yorkers around is rat control. More than twenty-one thousand rat complaints have been made to the City of New York thus far this year, compared to fifteen thousand during the same period in 2019. However, the mayor, a proponent of using traps that drown the vermin, is not receiving support for his rodent control method from animal activists. While Mayor Eric Adams claims that the traps are humane, animal rights people argue that the rat traps are cruel drowning devices. The activist group stated that the traps are barbaric and implored Adams to explore humane alternatives like fertility control contraception and sterilization for the rodents. If Mayor Adams, who formerly was employed by the New York City Police Department really wants to be a hero, he will need to conquer a bigger problem: trash. New York City will never be able to trap its way out of its rat infestation as long as piles of trash are allowed to collect on its streets. To the delight of New York City's rat community, garbage is not getting picked up as quickly as usual. Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio cut $106 million from the Department of Sanitation's budget resulting in a reduction in trash collection and a surge in the rat population. The rat problem will likely worsen if New York City's final budget matches what Mayor Eric Adams wants. Adams announced plans to slash the NYC sanitation budget by $47.8 million.

HUMANE WILDLIFE TRAPPING AND REMOVAL

 

New York State Environmental Conservation Law mandates the humane treatment of wildlife. Long Island Pest Control wildlife trappers strictly comply with this demand. Our nuisance wildlife control operators resolve wildlife issues using a decision-making plan that balances safety, feasibility, landowner rights; the protection of wild animal populations and habitats; the humane treatment of animals, and legal, ethical, aesthetic, and financial matters.

 

Our trappers carry out the Long Island wildlife control program in such a way as to avoid negatively impacting any non-target wild animals. Since our Long Island wildlife removal professionals know about the habits and habitat of the target nuisance wildlife, they will exercise caution in avoiding animal trapping methods that will affect non-targets, such as pets and other wildlife.

 

While it may be nice to look out the window of your Long Island residence and observe wildlife in your yard, they can cause some significant problems. Wild animals can damage your garden, lawn, and home. However, there are several steps that Long Island homeowners can take to prevent conflicts with wildlife. Long Island residences are the ideal refuge for nuisance wildlife such as raccoons, squirrels, groundhogs, opossums, bats, birds, foxes, skunks, rats, and mice because they provide readily available food, water, and shelter sources. Once inside a Long Island residence, wildlife is not only challenging to get rid of, but they carry wildlife diseases that can present a health hazard. Wildlife may be infected with zoonotic diseases and harbor disease-carrying parasites such as fleas, ticks, and mites.

Our nuisance wildlife control service employs wildlife trapping and rodent control pros. Our animal trappers will conduct an initial wildlife inspection of your Long Island residence or business to determine what type of wildlife is living in your dwelling. Are there animals in the attic of your Long Island home? Are you hearing animal noises during the day or at night? If the noises are at night, this may be mice in the attic, and if the animal noises are exceptionally loud, this is most probably coming from raccoons in the attic. Other wildlife that is active in Long Island attics at night would include rats, bats, opossums, and flying squirrels. Sounds heard during the day, maybe coming from gray squirrels in the attic or birds in the attic.

Our licensed and insured Nassau County contractors offer animal damage repairs, attic cleanup, and sanitization services. As part of our Long Island Integrated Wildlife Pest Management Plan, we will make recommendations to prevent subsequent wildlife control issues and confrontations with unwelcomed nuisance wildlife, such as squirrels, skunks, birds, raccoons, foxes, groundhogs, bats, rats, mice, and opossums. Here our wildlife control professionals will be looking for what changes can be made to preclude future wildlife animal control issues. For example, the bats in the attic may be gaining access to your home via openings in your roofline. Upon completing the bat removal process from your Long Island residence, we will put you in touch with a licensed Nassau County contractor specializing in wildlife exclusion. An additional example of Integrated Wildlife Management would be squirrels, raccoons, or birds nesting in the chimney of your Long Island home.

PEST CONTROL TIPS - LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK

Trash Cans

Raccoons and rats will shred garbage bags, so they must be stored in sealed garbage cans with securely fitting animal-proof lids. Preferably, trash cans should be stored in an outdoor storage shed, which will prevent raccoons and other wild animals from attempting to remove the covers. Dispose of garbage regularly.

 

Clean

Countertops, tables, floors, and sink drains regularly.

 

Vacuum

Your residence or business office frequently to eliminate pests and their eggs.

Food Items

When possible, inspect dried food packages for pests before purchasing them.

Food Storage

Never store food items, including pet food, in a garage that is attached to your residence. Never store food items beneath your kitchen sink. Storing food in the garage or below the kitchen sink may result in a rodent infestation. Store food in airtight containers.

Garage Door Bottom Sweep

Should be regularly inspected and replaced if necessary. It functions to provide a barrier to dust, dirt, drafts, and pests.

 

Doors & Windows

Check for gaps and cracks through which pests can enter your home.

 

Light Bulbs

To decrease the number of flying insects around the doors and windows of your residence, replace mercury vapor lights with high-pressure sodium vapor or halogen lights.

 

Cardboard Boxes

Avoid bringing cardboard boxes into your Long Island home. Cardboard boxes often harbor cockroaches.

 

Vents

Raccoons, squirrels, opossums, birds, bats, rats, and mice can find their way into your Long Island residence through unscreened vents. Gable vents, attic fan shutter vents, bathroom exhaust vents, kitchen stove exhaust vents, and dryer vents can permit unwanted wildlife to enter your Long Island home.

 

Repair

Holes in the interior or exterior walls of your home. Fix damage to the roof or soffits and cracks in the foundation of your residence.

 

Seal

Holes on the exterior of your home through which cables or pipes enter.

 

Landscaping

Raccoons, squirrels, and opossums often access rooftops via shrubs and tree branches that contact the roof. Keeping trees and shrubs pruned is crucial in excluding wild animals from an attic. Mowing the lawn routinely eliminates places for mice to hide, and it is an essential component of rodent control in Nassau County.

 

Wood Mulch

The mulch created using cedar trees, and red hemlock repels moths, ticks, snails, pill bugs, and slugs, but not carpenter ants and termites. Mulches of all kinds create the perfect environment for termites because they keep the soil moist. Therefore, mulch should be kept at least three feet away from the foundation of your home. Eastern Yellowjackets are highly aggressive ground-nesting social wasps that build their nests in mulch.

 

Eliminate Cover & Shelter

Get rid of leaf and brush piles and stack firewood at least twenty feet away from your residence on a rack that is five inches above the ground. These materials make the ideal harborage site for rodents and insects.

 

Standing Water

Can attract many different types of pests, including mosquitoes.

 

Chimney Caps

Will prevent raccoons, squirrels, birds, and bats from coming down the chimney and possibly entering your Long Island residence.

 

Gutters

Are attached to residences via fascia board. If leaves and debris are permitted to build up in the gutters, water will not drain out of them. Clogged gutters will result in the rotting of the fascia board, resulting in a weak point on the roof. Squirrels will gnaw a hole in the weakened fascia board and enter the attic of a Long Island residence at this point. Therefore, gutters need to be cleaned routinely, or gutter guards can be installed.

 

Sheds & Decks

Should always have skirting to prevent raccoons, opossums, woodchucks, skunks, and feral cats from residing beneath them.

 

Clean Up The Yard

If there is a fruit tree on your property, pick up fruit that has dropped to the ground. Fruit attracts a large array of pests, including yellow jacket wasps. If you have a canine, pick up the dog feces without delay because dog feces attracts rats.

 

Bird Feeders

Keep bird feeders far away from your Long Island residence. Rodents, including squirrels, rats, and mice, are drawn to birdseed.

 

Don't Feed The Animals

People feed pigeons, squirrels, raccoons, feral cats, and deer. Feeding wild animals can also attract predators, such as falcons, hawks, bears, and coyotes. When people occasionally feed wildlife, this can result in aggressive behavior by the wild animals. When people consistently feed wildlife, the animals will abandon natural food resources and lose the skills needed to obtain them.
