Why Somerville Properties Attract Wildlife

The mature trees and wooded lots that make Somerville 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 Somerset County's suburban landscape, wildlife encounters are a when, not an if.

In established neighborhoods, one home with a wildlife problem often means the whole block is at risk. Animals don't recognize property lines.

Animals We Handle in Somerville

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 animal 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)
  • Contaminated attic requiring professional feces cleanup
  • Chewed electrical wires (fire hazard)

How We Remove Animals in Somerville

1

Thorough Inspection

Our wildlife specialist examines your Somerville 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.

2

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.

3

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.

Somerville Wildlife Removal FAQ

Free inspection. No obligation.

Can wildlife damage cause problems in the home?
Yes. Accumulated animal waste, nesting material, and damaged insulation create unsanitary conditions that affect the attic and the air that circulates through your home. Wildlife nesting material can also harbor parasites including fleas, ticks, and mites. Professional cleanup is the right approach.
When is wildlife most active in Somerset County?
Spring and fall are peak seasons. Spring brings denning (raccoons, squirrels having babies) and bat maternity colonies. Fall brings animals seeking winter shelter. But wildlife is a year-round concern in Somerset County - we stay busy every month.
How do you remove squirrels from an attic?
One-way exclusion devices are the gold standard - squirrels leave to forage and can't get back in. We then seal every entry point with galvanized steel mesh. For large colonies, we combine exclusion with live trapping. Flying squirrels require different techniques due to their colonial behavior.
Should I call about animals under my deck or shed?
Yes. Animals under decks and sheds eventually find their way into your home - especially groundhogs, skunks, and opossums. We can exclude them from under structures and prevent them from migrating to your attic or crawl space.
Are you licensed for animal removal in New Jersey?
Yes. Fully licensed and insured for animal and rodent control in New Jersey. We carry complete liability insurance on every job. Our technicians are trained and certified.
