If you have any questions about the wildlife of Buffalo, you can contact the New York Wildlife Commission, sometimes called the New York Fish & Wildlife Agency. New York game wardens address many wildlife management matters, from hunting licenses, to poaching, endangered species, and Buffalo wildlife management. They deal with wild animals outside the range of a pest control company, such as cougars or bears. If you have a problem with nuisance wildlife in Buffalo like squirrels, snakes, bats, or raccoons, the state agency is very unlikely to help. You need to hire a private company (here are their prices) such as Pest Animal Removal Buffalo at 716-650-4630.

New York State is home to one of the largest, progressive cities in the United States, but it is also the home of the forever-wild Adirondack Mountains, a place teeming with wildlife. Most residents in Upstate New York are no stranger to nature's critters, communing with snakes, wolves, deer, bobcats, and a plethora of other animals.

Due to the hot summers and cold winters in New York, the state is filled with a variety of animals. The largest of these is the elusive moose, which can weigh up to 1800 pounds. Recent years have seen an increase in black bear activity, and some sightings-denied by the New York Department of Environmental Control-of cougars have been reported. Of nuisance predators, coyotes are the most feared, raiding farms and killing livestock as their numbers continue to grow in all rural areas of the state. Urban coyotes are also a huge concern in New York, and pose a serious threat to pets and small children.

New York has an animal called a fisher, a fierce weasel-like animal that lives in the deep forests and grows up to 20 pounds. It is one of the only animals willing to hunt porcupine.

Nuisance animals are just as common in New York as in any other state. During the last decade, feral swine have moved north from Pennsylvania. These animals are fast, aggressive, and dangerous. With a voracious appetite, the swine are able to decimate large areas of food plots, and have become a plight on local farms.

Aside from the new sightings of invasive species like the wild hog, New York has a good number of native nuisance animals. Home owners are often battling with grey squirrels, flying squirrels, and red squirrels. Chipmunks and field mice abound. Yards and plants meet an untimely end meted out by voles and moles. Larger animals, like the black bear, like to wander into yards and feed on garbage or bird seed. These giant animals, often weighing 500 pounds or more, are slowly losing their fear of humans, making them bold and potentially dangerous. Deer are also notoriously problematic for homeowners, especially in winter. These timid grazers strip the bark off of trees and shrubs when food is scarce, often killing the plants by the time spring rolls around. And spring, when it does come, brings with it problems of breeding animals looking for safe havens to give birth. Raccoons, woodchucks, skunks, and opossums are all potential home invaders. Even the beaver can pose problems once the weather warms, blocking up streams and causing flood damage.

Residents of New York know the importance of keeping their homes in good repair and garbage sealed tight in containers. With such a variety of animals nuisance control has become second nature for most of the human population.

Buffalo Wildlife Tip
Are Rodent Deterrent Moth Balls Guaranteed To Work? - Using any kind of rodent deterrent, such as mothballs, is never likely to be as successful as using the trap and removal method. There are many home remedies for dealing with a rodent in your home; the use of mothballs is just one of them. The theory behind the rodent deterrent of mothballs is that rodents do not like the smell of the pesticides and chemicals in them; however, this is untrue - rodents soon become accustomed to the smell and are able to move the mothballs out of the way or just run around them and ignore them.

While mothballs are often recommended as a solution to a rodent invasion there is no evidence, other than anecdotal, to support their use. In contrast, the use of traps is proven to be extremely successful in dealing with a rodent invasion - although it is not a quick fix by any means. The use of traps means patience and detective work - observing the rodents as they come and go, placing the traps for several days before setting them and thoroughly rodent proofing your property will provide the best solution to clearing your rodents and keeping them out. As you trap the rodents, you must ensure that they are removed far away from your property - or humanely kill them - in order to prevent a re-infestation.

Buffalo, NY Wildlife News Clip:
When do raccoons give birth - The usual time frame for raccoon births is March through June, approximately 63 days after the breeding season. Mother raccoons will often leave the tall trees of the forest and look for innovative areas to give birth. Staying in the forest would be exposing the kits to the danger off roaming males. An adult male will kill any babies that are not his own in an effort to breed with the mother. Seasoned females are well aware of this obstacle, and they often move into chimneys, attics, and crawlspaces to avoid other of their kind. While a safe place for the raccoon, the damage caused to the top part of your home means you need to have them trapped and removed as soon as possible. Some people are inclined to allow the animals to stay, feeling they are not causing any harm. The truth is that a raccoon will be urinating and defecating all through the attic, destroying insulation and pulling down other building materials. Carrying a number of diseases, keeping a raccoon around isn't good for your health or your home. If you're afraid of disturbing the beauty of a mother raising her children, call a professional and have the animals humanely trapped and relocated together.
