Types of Wildlife in Yonkers, NY
Although much of Yonkers, New Rochelle, and the Bronx are extensively developed, wild animals have adapted to these surroundings. Many are now accustomed to using human food and trash as their primary food source. They seek out shelter in buildings, building nests under eaves, in attics, in basements, and in wall voids rather than denning or nesting in their natural habitats.
Some of the animals homeowners and commercial properties most often encounter in Yonkers include:
- Rats
- Mice
- Squirrels
- Bats
- Birds
- Raccoons
- Opossums, and More
Each of these animals displays different behavior when occupying a home or business. Rodents will establish a nest and breed while seeking out food in your pantry and trash. Bats and birds will use structures for roosting and hunt elsewhere.
A mixture of food or a nearby food source, water, and a quiet and undisturbed space is often all that wildlife requires to invade a property. When they do, they come in through various small holes such as cracks in the foundation, vents, chimneys, or gaps that develop between windows or doors and the surrounding wall.
Animals that stay entirely outside, such as birds nesting around your business or under rooftop solar panels, can still be a problem as the proximity to your living or working space.
Risks of a Wildlife Invasion
The moment wildlife invades, it can become a danger. This is especially true if it builds a nest with designs to stay for the long term, such as with rodents, bats, and squirrels. Other animals may be short term residents, like raccoons or opossums, but their size and the equivalent damage they can do still poses challenges.
One wildlife invasion can also mean recurring challenges with animals in the future unless steps are taken for management. This is because what attracted animals to your home in the first place can continue to draw in more, whether it is open food sources or easy entry.
Even if animals leave on their own, many are likely to infest again unless exclusion is performed in the interim. Migrating animals such as birds and bats often return to the same area year after year to roost. Raccoons occupy a range of a few square miles and return to their dens within that range time after time. As a result, an infestation almost always requires intervention to fix.
Leaving a wild animal infestation unchecked is not an option in most cases either. Animals living in or around your property carry several risks, including:
- Disease Transmission – Wildlife can carry and spread rabies, leptospirosis, avian influenza, and more to people and pets they come into contact with.
- Property Damage – Animals will often ruin insulation, wiring, siding, roofs, and other areas of your home as they make their way inside and build nests.
- Contamination – The droppings they leave around their nesting area host a variety of bacteria and fungi that can endanger your family. They can also stain insulation, walls, floors, and ceilings.
- Other Pests – Wildlife can be hosts for other insects like fleas and ticks. Their presence, especially if one dies on your property, can attract other bugs such as flies.
After wildlife is gone, remaining bacteria and droppings can still remain, leading to ongoing health issues. These problems are correspondingly worse the longer an infestation has been in place and the larger it has become in the case of rodents or bats. This makes it important to find and remove any wildlife as soon as possible.
