Squirrel Removal in Washington Township, NJ

The oaks planted when Washington Township's developments went in during the 1970s and 80s are now full-grown, and they hang right over the rooflines they were meant to decorate. Dawn scampering over a Sewell or Turnersville ceiling is the predictable result.

Short answer: Acorn Wildlife removes Washington Township squirrels with one-way doors over the chewed entry after every other gap is sealed, and by hand during the two litter seasons so no babies are left behind. Most jobs finish in 2 to 5 days under our Seal-Tight Warranty. Call or Text (856) 398-1028.

Where Do Squirrels Get into Washington Township Houses?

The mature oak streets in Sewell and the wooded edges around Washington Lake Park keep the population high, and acorn years make it spike. The tell is the schedule: fast, light scampering right at dawn and again in late afternoon, sometimes the sound of nuts rolling across the ceiling in fall. Daytime noise means squirrel. If the sound is heavy and after dusk, read our Washington Township raccoon page instead.

South Jersey squirrels raise litters twice a year, early spring and late summer. Inside those windows we confirm the nest situation before mounting a one-way door, because locking a mother out strands babies in the attic. And because squirrel incisors never stop growing, an active squirrel is also an active chewer of roof sheathing and wiring, which makes this a this-week job.

Short answer: The builder-grade roof trim of the 1970s and 80s is the weak point. Aluminum-wrapped fascia hides softening wood underneath, and squirrels chew through at the corners and drip-edge gaps. Gable vents with forty-year-old plastic or thin louvers are the other classic entry, especially on Sewell's colonials.

Washington Township Squirrel FAQs

My fascia is wrapped in aluminum. How did a squirrel still get through?
The wrap is cosmetic, not structural. Decades of weather soften the wood behind it, and a squirrel chews the corner or lifts the drip edge where the wrap ends. That is the single most common entry we see on Washington Township's 1970s and 80s housing, and it is exactly what our steel-backed rebuilds are for.
Can I put out a trap from the hardware store instead?
You can catch a squirrel that way; you cannot solve the problem. The entry is still open, the attic still smells like squirrel, and New Jersey has rules about relocating wildlife. One-way doors plus sealing end it without handling animals at all. Call or Text (856) 398-1028 and we will tell you honestly if yours is a DIY-sized job.
Squirrels chewed our wiring once before. How do we make sure that never happens again?
Full exclusion: every roofline gap, vent, and corner sealed in materials squirrels cannot chew, documented with photos, under our Seal-Tight Warranty. If an animal gets back in through a repair we made, we come back at no charge. That warranty is the whole point of doing it right once.

Every Acorn Job Starts With a Free Inspection

Before we quote a dollar of work, a licensed technician walks the whole property — roofline, soffits, vents, chimney, the full foundation line, the attic or crawl space, the decks and the yard — and finds every opening an animal is using, plus the ones it would use next. It takes as long as it takes: often an hour, sometimes two. There is no charge for the visit.

✓  Free whether or not you hire us

✓  No call-out fee, no minimum, no signature on the day

✓  Every entry point photographed and shown to you
