Get Wildlife Out of Your Maywood Home
Raccoons, squirrels, bats - we handle them all in Maywood. Humane trapping, expert exclusion, and documentation built around the actual entry points.
Wildlife Problems in Maywood, Bergen County
The mature trees and wooded lots that make Maywood attractive to homeowners also make it attractive to wildlife. Squirrels use overhanging branches as highways to your roof. Raccoons raid garbage cans and then move into attics for the winter. In Bergen County's suburban landscape, wildlife encounters are a when, not an if.
With 10,042 residents, Maywood has a tight-knit community - and every home with a roofline is a potential wildlife entry point.
In established neighborhoods, one home with a wildlife problem often means the whole block is at risk. Animals don't recognize property lines.
Historic Housing Alert: Maywood
Homes in Maywood average 1952 construction - an era when builders didn't think about rodent exclusion because there were no suburbs yet to attract them. Today, those charming details (original siding, wood soffits, fieldstone foundations) are open invitations for mice, rodents, and squirrels. Retrofitting exclusion on older homes requires specialized knowledge of historic construction methods.
Animals We Remove in Maywood
Squirrel Removal
Learn more →Squirrels may look cute, but they're relentless chewers that can destroy your attic. They gnaw on wood, wires, and pipes constantly because their teeth never stop growing. One squirrel chewing on electrical wires is a house fire waiting to happen.
Signs in Your Home
- •Scurrying and scratching sounds, especially morning and evening
- •Chew marks on wood, wires, or plastic vents
- •Small droppings (like large rice grains)
Damage They Cause
- •Chewed electrical wires (leading cause of attic fires)
- •Gnawed PVC pipes (water damage)
- •Destroyed insulation used for nesting
Raccoon Removal
Learn more →Raccoons are one of the most destructive animals that invade attics. They tear through insulation, rip up ductwork, and leave behind hazardous waste. A single raccoon can cause thousands in damage within weeks.
Signs in Your Home
- •Heavy thumping sounds at night (they're nocturnal)
- •Visible damage to soffits, vents, or roof edges
- •Large droppings (similar to small dog)
Damage They Cause
- •Destroyed insulation (R-value loss = higher energy bills)

Our Animal Removal Process
Thorough Inspection
Our wildlife specialist examines your Maywood home top to bottom - roofline, attic, fascia, crawl spaces, and foundation. We identify what species you're dealing with and map every point of entry. No cost, no pressure.
Humane Removal
We match our removal method to the animal: one-way doors for squirrels and bats, live traps for raccoons, exclusion devices for colonies. Everything is humane and legal under New Jersey wildlife law. Poison is never part of the plan.
Exclusion & Prevention
After removal, we seal your home against re-entry. Heavy-gauge steel mesh, metal flashing, and industrial sealants at every entry point. We match materials to the animal - what stops a mouse won't stop a raccoon. The scope is documented so you know exactly what was addressed.
