Squirrel Removal
Professional squirrel removal for Camden County.
Eastern gray squirrels and southern flying squirrels are the two species most commonly found invading Camden County homes. Gray squirrels are daytime intruders — you will hear them scurrying through your attic at dawn and dusk — while flying squirrels are nocturnal and often go undetected for months. Both species cause serious structural damage by gnawing on electrical wiring, PVC plumbing, wooden joists, and insulation. In fact, squirrel-damaged wiring is a leading cause of unexplained house fires in New Jersey. Cherry Hill, Voorhees, and Mount Laurel — communities with mature oak and maple canopies — experience the highest squirrel intrusion rates in Camden County. Haddonfield's historic homes, many built before 1920, are especially vulnerable because aging construction materials offer dozens of potential entry points around soffits, gable vents, and roofline intersections. Squirrels can squeeze through gaps as small as 1.5 inches and will enlarge existing openings by chewing. Our Camden County squirrel removal program uses one-way exclusion doors that allow squirrels to leave naturally without the stress of trapping, combined with comprehensive sealing of every gap, crack, and vulnerability on your home's exterior.
⚠️ Signs You Need Squirrel Removal
- •Rapid scurrying, scratching, or rolling sounds in the attic during early morning and late afternoon hours
- •Chew marks on fascia boards, wooden trim, or the edges of gable vents and roof returns
- •Small, oval-shaped droppings (similar to dark grains of rice) scattered in the attic
- •Shredded insulation, cardboard, or fabric used as nesting material
- •Visible entry holes (1.5 inches or larger) along the roofline, at soffit-fascia junctions, or around plumbing penetrations
- •Chewed or frayed electrical wiring visible in the attic — a serious fire hazard
- •Squirrels observed repeatedly climbing the same tree or utility line toward your roof
- •Acorn shells, nut caches, or leaf debris found in attic corners
Our Squirrel Removal Process
Full Inspection
Thorough inspection of the entire roofline, soffits, gable vents, ridge vents, and plumbing/electrical penetrations to map all current and potential entry points.
One-Way Exclusion
Installation of one-way exclusion devices at primary entry points, allowing squirrels to exit but preventing re-entry — a humane, stress-free method.
Sealing
Complete sealing of all secondary entry points and vulnerabilities using galvanized steel mesh, metal flashing, and chew-proof materials.
Follow-Up
Follow-up inspection within 7–10 days to confirm all squirrels have vacated, remove exclusion devices, and permanently seal the final openings.
🛡️ Prevention Tips
- ✓Trim all tree branches so they end at least 6–8 feet from your roofline, walls, and utility lines
- ✓Install metal collars or baffles around utility poles and trees adjacent to your home
- ✓Replace plastic gable vents and ridge vents with metal versions rated for wildlife exclusion
- ✓Seal gaps around plumbing stacks, HVAC lines, and electrical conduit where they penetrate the roof or walls
- ✓Keep bird feeders at least 15 feet from the house and use squirrel-proof feeder designs
- ✓Inspect your roofline and soffits every spring and fall for new gaps or chew damage
- ✓Store firewood at least 20 feet from your home's foundation to reduce nearby squirrel habitat
Why Professional Squirrel Removal Matters
Squirrel exclusion requires working at roof height, identifying every potential entry point (there are often more than homeowners realize), and using materials squirrels cannot chew through. Improper exclusion can trap squirrels inside, leading to frantic chewing, additional damage, and animals dying in wall voids. Our Camden County technicians have the experience and equipment to do it right the first time.
