Why Westwood Properties Attract Wildlife

The mature trees and wooded lots that make Westwood 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 11,221 residents, Westwood 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: Westwood

Homes in Westwood average 1961 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.

Protecting Westwood's Property Values

Westwood properties carry a median value of $588K, making professional exclusion a smart investment - not just an expense. Attic damage from wildlife can reduce home values, trigger insurance issues, and create conditions that need professional cleanup. We seal your home to the standards that a property of this caliber deserves.

Animals We Handle in Westwood

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 Westwood

Thorough Inspection

Our wildlife specialist examines your Westwood 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.

Westwood Wildlife Removal FAQ

Free inspection. No obligation.

How is coverage handled on wildlife exclusion?

Coverage depends on the service and the approved scope. Any service-specific coverage is confirmed in writing during inspection and proposal so you know exactly what is and is not covered.

How fast can you get to Westwood for animal removal?

Call us and we'll get you on the schedule. Most Bergen County inspections are booked within 24 hours, or at a time that works best for you. Emergency situations - active animal entry, bat in living space, aggressive raccoon - get priority scheduling.

What if the animal comes back after removal?

That is why exclusion matters. Trapping alone is temporary - if you do not seal the entry points, new animals move in. We inspect the structure, document what needs to be sealed, and tie the scope to the actual openings we found.

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.

Do older Westwood homes have more wildlife problems?

Yes. Pre-1970 construction often has larger gaps in soffits, unscreened gable vents, deteriorated fascia, and foundation cracks that wildlife exploits. We specialize in sealing older homes without compromising their architectural character.

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.
