Squirrel Removal in Voorhees, NJ

The oaks planted when Sturbridge Lakes and Alluvium were built in the 1970s are now full-grown, and plenty of them touch the roofs they shade. Squirrels are the number one attic call Acorn Wildlife gets from Voorhees, and this page covers how we get them out and keep them out.

Short answer: Acorn Wildlife removes squirrels from Voorhees attics with one-way doors mounted over the chewed entry, hand-removing litters during the spring and late-summer baby seasons, then seals the roofline with steel-backed repairs under warranty. Most Voorhees squirrel jobs finish within a week of inspection.

Why Squirrels Love Voorhees Rooflines

The pattern we see street after street: fast scampering at dawn and dusk (raccoons are slower and nocturnal), gnawing sounds near a gable end, and a chewed baseball-sized hole in a vent louver or fascia corner. Around Echelon and Voorhees Town Center it's more often shared-roofline townhomes, where one chewed builder gap serves several units and the fix has to cover the whole run.

Short answer: Voorhees squirrels have a fifty-year-old oak canopy for food, preserved woods behind the developments for population, and 1970s–80s construction for entry: louvered gable vents, softened wood fascia behind vinyl wrap, and long garage soffit runs. A branch within ten feet of the roof is a highway.

Voorhees Has Two Squirrel Baby Seasons

Gray squirrels in South Jersey raise litters twice a year, roughly February through April and again August through September. During those windows we check for a nest before any one-way door goes up, because a door that locks a mother out starves the litter in your insulation. Nest removals are done by hand and priced honestly, and we will tell you when waiting two weeks for kits to become mobile is the better plan. Between litter seasons, a one-way door usually has the attic empty in 2 to 3 days.

A Recent Squirrel Job in Voorhees

An Alluvium contemporary with an oak limb hanging over the garage: the homeowner heard chewing at sunrise, and we found a gable vent louver gnawed open behind it. One-way door up on day one, squirrel out by day three, then we screened both gable vents in hardware cloth, rebuilt the chewed louver, and flagged the limb for the homeowner's tree service. No animal has been back through a repair we made.

Voorhees Squirrel FAQs

Do the wooded buffers behind Sturbridge Lakes mean I'll always have squirrels?
In the yard, yes, and that's fine. The woods are why trapping alone never ends a Voorhees squirrel problem: another squirrel finds the same gap within weeks. Sealing the roofline in steel is the permanent fix, and it's what our warranty covers.
Are squirrels really worth acting on quickly?
Yes, because they chew constantly, including wire insulation. Chewed wiring is a genuine fire risk, and it's the difference between a straightforward removal and an electrician's bill. If you hear daytime gnawing, book the inspection this week.
Found a stray cat in the yard instead?
We handle wild animals only. For stray dogs and cats in Voorhees, call the Camden County Animal Shelter in Blackwood or the Voorhees Animal Orphanage on Cooper Road.
