Raccoon Removal in Medford, NJ

Medford sits on the Pine Barrens edge with more tree canopy than almost any town Acorn Wildlife serves, and its raccoons act like it: confident, well-fed, and very interested in your chimney. Here's how removal works on Medford's big wooded lots, and what it honestly costs.

Short answer: Acorn Wildlife removes Medford raccoons humanely: one-way doors outside baby season, hand removal with reunion staging for mothers with kits from March through June, then warrantied sealing of the entry. Most Medford jobs, from Taunton Lake to the Main Street village, finish within 3 to 7 days of inspection.

Why Medford Is Raccoon Country

Chimney dens are a bigger share of our calls in Medford than anywhere except Haddonfield. Lake-community homes around Taunton Lake and the cabins over the border in Medford Lakes often have older masonry chimneys and wood-shake or cedar rooflines that a raccoon opens without much effort. On larger properties, detached garages, barns, and well houses give raccoons staging dens a short walk from the main house, which is why our inspection covers the outbuildings too.

Short answer: Deep oak-and-pine cover runs right up to Medford rooflines, so raccoons never cross open ground to reach a house. On the big well-and-septic lots off Stokes and Tuckerton roads, dens shift naturally between hollow trees, crawl spaces, and attics. An uncapped chimney reads as a premium hollow tree.

Baby Season on a Wooded Lot

From March through June, assume any Medford attic or chimney raccoon is a mother with kits. We remove kits by hand, stage them in a heated reunion box, and let her carry them to one of the backup dens the woods always provide here; Medford mothers relocate fast because they have somewhere to go. Never smoke a chimney den out. New Jersey restricts relocating raccoons as a rabies-vector species, so the honest options under the law get explained at inspection, by a licensed operator (NJDEP #92411B).

A Recent Raccoon Job in Medford

A lake home near Taunton Lake with chirping in the fireplace every evening: a mother and three kits denned on the smoke shelf. We removed the kits by hand from above, staged the reunion box at the base of a hollow oak on the property line, and she had all three moved by morning. A stainless cap on the flue closed the den site for good, under warranty.

Medford Raccoon FAQs

We're surrounded by woods off Tuckerton Road. Is removal even worth it?

Yes, because the goal isn't fewer raccoons in the Pines, it's zero in your house. Medford's woods guarantee a steady population, which is exactly why we seal and warranty the structure instead of trapping the forest. Sealed homes stay empty here; we see it year after year.

Do you cover Medford Lakes cabins too?

We do. The borough's log-and-cedar construction has its own entry points, ridge gaps and porch roofs especially, and we work there regularly. Same humane methods, same Seal-Tight Warranty on the repairs.

What about a stray dog or cat on our property?

We handle wild animals only. For strays in Medford, contact the Burlington County Animal Shelter in Westampton and your municipal animal control.
