New York State Licensed Nuisance Wildlife Control Operators

New York State's Department of Environmental Conservation provides a list of currently licensed commercial Nuisance Wildlife Control Operators (NWCOs). It contains contact details, license information, and business locations for these operators across the state. The dataset is maintained by the DEC Bureau of Fish and Wildlife Services and was last updated in early April 2026.

Use Cases

• Finding a licensed wildlife control operator by County for property management or nuisance animal issues.

• Contacting operators directly using the provided Business Name and Contact Phone information.

Strengths
