Free Wildlife Inspection — New York
Not sure if you have a wildlife problem? Wildlife NY's NYS DEC licensed inspectors will tell you exactly what you're dealing with — entry points, species, damage, and a clear plan. Free, no obligation.
🔍 Free Inspection — No Obligation
NYS DEC licensed inspectors. Written report. Same-day appointments often available.
Start with a Free Inspection
Every successful wildlife exclusion starts with an accurate inspection. Wildlife NY's free inspection service is the foundation of everything we do — and it is available to any New York homeowner or business owner at no charge, with no obligation.
Our NYS DEC licensed Nuisance Wildlife Control Operator (NWCO) inspectors bring years of experience identifying New York wildlife species from evidence, locating the entry points that other inspectors miss, and accurately assessing the scope of damage. We don't guess — we document.
When our inspection is complete, you will know exactly: (1) what species is present or has been present, (2) where every entry point is located, (3) what damage has been done, and (4) exactly what it will take to solve the problem permanently, with a written quote. There is no pressure and no obligation.
What the Free Inspection Identifies
Entry Points
We systematically inspect every square foot of your roofline, soffits, fascia, foundation vents, chimney, pipes, and conduits for gaps ≥ 3/8 inch. These are the pathways wildlife use to enter your home.
Animal Evidence
Droppings, urine staining, tracks, fur, feathers, chew marks, and nesting material are identified and documented. Each species leaves distinctive evidence that experienced inspectors can read like a map.
Damage Assessment
We assess insulation damage, wiring exposure, structural damage, and any signs of moisture intrusion caused by wildlife activity. This gives you an accurate picture of what remediation will involve.
Exclusion Plan
Every inspection concludes with a clear, written exclusion plan: which entry points to address first, what materials are appropriate for each, timeline considerations (especially for bats), and a detailed price quote.

Why a Licensed NWCO Inspector Matters
Not all wildlife inspections are equal. A general pest control technician, a home inspector, or a handyman can observe and describe obvious damage — but only a New York State licensed Nuisance Wildlife Control Operator (NWCO) brings the training to:
- •Accurately identify species from evidence. Raccoon droppings vs. opossum vs. groundhog vs. rat — each species requires a different removal approach, and misidentification leads to failed exclusion attempts.
- •Apply NYSDEC regulations correctly. Bats require seasonal exclusion windows. Raccoons with young require specific handling protocols. A licensed NWCO knows the rules and follows them.
- •Identify all entry points, not just the obvious ones. A gap behind a gutter bracket, a missing vent screen behind an AC unit, a space around a plumbing stack on the roof — experienced NWCO inspectors find the gaps that unlicensed operators miss, resulting in failed exclusions.
- •Provide legally defensible documentation. For real estate transactions, insurance claims, and legal matters, documentation from a licensed NWCO carries weight that unlicensed operators cannot provide.
