New Jersey's dense population and varied landscapes mean wildlife often lives in close proximity to homes. Seasonal changes bring different animals seeking shelter. In colder months, mammals like raccoons and squirrels may look for warmth inside attics and crawl spaces. Warmer months can see an increase in bird and bat activity. Many homes in areas like Newark and Elizabeth are older and may have more entry points for animals. Our services are tailored to these common issues. We understand the specific wildlife challenges faced by New Jersey residents. We focus on safe and humane removal. When choosing a provider in New Jersey, look for experience with local species. Ask about their prevention strategies. The cost of service depends on the animal and the complexity of its removal. Get a free phone quote to understand the cost.
Common questions
Who to call to pick up stray cats?
For stray cats, you should contact local animal shelters or rescue organizations. These groups are best equipped to care for and rehome stray felines. AnimalControl Direct focuses on removing nuisance wildlife from homes and properties. We do not handle stray domestic animals like cats. Please seek assistance from your local humane society.
What animals does animal control deal with?
We handle a variety of nuisance wildlife that may enter homes and businesses. This includes raccoons, squirrels, opossums, bats, and rodents. We address animals that cause damage or pose health risks. Our goal is to safely and humanely remove them. We serve communities across New Jersey, including Newark and Elizabeth.
How much does it cost to remove a dead animal?
The cost to remove a dead animal depends on its location and size. If it is in an easily accessible area, the removal is usually straightforward and less expensive. If it is inside a wall or under a structure, it will require more effort and thus incur higher costs. We offer a free phone quote to give you an estimate. This applies to properties in New Jersey.

What are wildlife bridges in New Jersey?
Wildlife bridges, also known as overpasses or underpasses, are structures built to help animals safely cross roads. They reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions and allow for animal movement between habitats. While we don't construct these, we address the animals that may be affected by habitat fragmentation in areas like Newark. Our focus is on removal from your property.
