Raccoon Removal in Marlton, NJ
Hearing something heavy overhead in Marlton? Here's what happens next: we inspect this week, confirm whether it's one raccoon or a mother with kits, and give you a written plan with a warrantied repair on the entry. Marlton borders more preserved woods than almost any town we serve, and the raccoons know it.
Short answer: Acorn Wildlife removes raccoons from Marlton homes humanely, using one-way doors outside baby season and hand removal with reunion staging when kits are present, then seals the entry with warrantied repairs. Marlton's Pine Barrens edge keeps raccoon pressure high year-round, so sealing is not optional here.
This page is about raccoons in Marlton specifically. The full method, the law, and the baby-season details live on our main raccoon removal in South Jersey page, and everything else we handle in town is at wildlife removal in Marlton.
Marlton Backs up to Raccoon Country
Housing plays a part too. A lot of Marlton was built in the 1970s and 1980s, and plenty of those homes still have their original uncapped chimneys. An uncapped flue is a ready-made den, and a female raccoon treats a chimney the way she'd treat a hollow tree. In Heritage Village and along the Greentree corridor, the more common entry is the roofline itself: aging fascia boards and gable vents that give way under forty pounds of determined animal.
Short answer: The Black Run Preserve and the Pine Barrens edge put over a thousand acres of den habitat against Marlton's back fence. Raccoons commute out of those woods nightly, and neighborhoods built into them, Kings Grant and Marlton Lakes especially, get the heaviest attic and chimney pressure in town.
The Marlton Season to Watch
Late winter is when Marlton chimneys fill up. Females den in February and March, and by April the crying sound homeowners describe as "birds in the fireplace" is usually kits on the smoke shelf. Never light a fire to find out. From March through June we treat every Marlton raccoon job as a possible family removal until the inspection proves otherwise.
A Recent Raccoon Job in Marlton
A Kings Grant two-story on a wooded lot: chirping from the fireplace in late April. A mother raccoon had denned on the smoke shelf with three kits. We removed the kits by hand, staged them in a heated reunion box at the base of the chimney, and she carried them to a backup den in the preserve overnight. A stainless chimney cap went on the next day, and the homeowner's warranty covers it if anything ever gets past it.
