Squirrel Removal in Cherry Hill, NJ
That fast scampering over your Cherry Hill ceiling at dawn is almost certainly a gray squirrel, and this page tells you exactly what we do about it: same-week inspection, litter check, humane removal, and a chew-proof repair on the hole. Squirrels are our number one Cherry Hill call, and the town's oak canopy is why.
Short answer: Acorn Wildlife removes squirrels from Cherry Hill attics with one-way doors and hand removal of litters, then seals every chewed opening with steel-backed repairs under warranty. Cherry Hill's mature oaks and 1960s wood fascia make it the busiest squirrel town we serve, and most jobs finish within a week.
Everything below is Cherry Hill specific. For the full story on methods, litter seasons, and why squirrels chew in the first place, see squirrel removal in South Jersey, and for the rest of what we handle in town, start at wildlife removal in Cherry Hill.
Oak Canopy Above, 1960S Wood Below
The classic Cherry Hill entry is the fascia gap behind the gutter, where decades of wet leaves have softened the board. The second is the gable vent on split-levels in Kingston and Ashland: squirrels chew the corner of the louver rather than the middle, so it looks intact from the driveway. Branches overhanging the roof are the on-ramp. We note every limb within jumping distance, about eight feet, in the inspection photos, because sealing a roofline while leaving the on-ramp is half a job.
Short answer: Cherry Hill grew up under oaks, and neighborhoods like Woodcrest, Barclay Farm, and Old Orchard now have sixty-year-old canopies dropping acorns onto sixty-year-old rooflines. Squirrels den within sight of their food, and the original wood fascia under the town's aluminum wrap chews open like cardboard.
The Cherry Hill Season to Watch
Twice a year, and it matters. Litters arrive in March and April and again in August and September, so a "just one squirrel" job in those windows is often a mother with four babies in the soffit. The other spike is the first cold week of fall, when acorn-fat squirrels across Cherry Hill start gnawing winter dens. Hear chewing in October and you're hearing next January's problem being built.
A Recent Squirrel Job in Cherry Hill
A Woodcrest colonial on a heavily treed lot: scampering at 6 am, then chewing sounds behind a bedroom wall. Inspection found a fist-sized hole in the fascia behind the gutter and a September litter in the soffit bay. We removed the four juveniles by hand, set a one-way door for the mother, and she collected them from the reunion box the same night. The fascia run got new wood over hardware cloth, and we flagged two overhanging oak limbs for the homeowner's tree service.
