Lower Merion Township Wildlife Challenges

The mature trees and wooded lots that make Lower Merion Township 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 Montgomery County's suburban landscape, wildlife encounters are a when, not an if.

With 63,903 residents, Lower Merion Township has a large 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: Lower Merion Township

With a median construction year of 1954, Lower Merion Township's housing stock predates modern building codes that account for pest exclusion. Original stone foundations, unscreened attic vents, coal chute conversions, and settling cracks in century-old mortar create dozens of entry points that rodents and wildlife exploit. These aren't defects - they're just how homes were built before anyone thought about keeping mice out of walls.

Protecting Lower Merion Township's Property Values

With a median home value of $789K, Lower Merion Township homeowners have significant property investments to protect. Rodent and wildlife damage goes beyond chewed wires - contaminated insulation, stained ceilings, and compromised ductwork can cost thousands in repairs if left unchecked. Our exclusion work protects both your home's structure and its resale value.

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)

Three Steps to a Animal-Free Home

1

Thorough Inspection

We inspect your entire Lower Merion Township property - attic, roof, soffits, crawl spaces, and full exterior. We identify the species, find every entry point, and assess the damage. This inspection is always free.

2

Humane Removal

Depending on the species, we use Havahart live traps, one-way exclusion devices, or professional snap traps. Every method we use is humane and compliant with Pennsylvania wildlife regulations. We never use poison - it creates more problems than it solves.

3

Exclusion & Prevention

Once the animals are out, we permanently seal every entry point with heavy-gauge steel mesh, metal flashing, and commercial-grade sealants. Materials are chosen to withstand the specific animals in Montgomery County - raccoons need heavier gauge than mice. The exclusion scope is documented before the job starts.

Lower Merion Township Wildlife Removal FAQ

Free inspection. No obligation.

How do you handle bat colonies?
We use one-way bat valves that let bats leave but prevent them from returning. Once the colony has fully exited, we permanently seal every entry point. Bat guano cleanup is also available through our attic restoration services.
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.
Do squirrels cause fire hazards?
Yes - squirrels chew constantly because their teeth never stop growing. Electrical wires are a common target. Chewed wiring in attics is a documented fire risk. If you hear chewing sounds, get it inspected before it becomes a safety issue.
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 Lower Merion Township 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 Pennsylvania?
Yes. Licensed by the Pennsylvania Game Commission for animal and rodent control. Fully insured. We handle everything from raccoons to bats professionally and humanely.
