Burlington Township wraps around historic Burlington City on our Burlington County map, and it is a township in transition: subdivisions from the 1990s and 2000s sitting on what was farmland a generation ago, with the Assiscunk Creek winding through the middle on its way to the Delaware. The animals that worked those farm fields did not leave when the houses arrived. They moved in.

What We Get Called for Most in Burlington Township
Farm-edge animals are the township signature. Groundhogs that dug field margins for generations now dig under subdivision sheds, decks, and stamped-concrete patios, and skunks follow the same soft ground. Groundhog and skunk work is a bigger share of our calls here than almost anywhere else in the county, alongside the squirrels that find builder-grade ridge vents and gable vents on 1990s and 2000s construction. Newer houses are tighter than postwar ones, but their vent details are plastic, and plastic loses to teeth.
The Assiscunk Creek corridor and the Delaware riverfront edge keep raccoons commuting through Springside and the neighborhoods off Sunset and Oxmead Roads, and the Route 130 and 541 retail corridors feed the usual strip rodents. Acorn Wildlife in Burlington Township, NJ covers it all from Trenton, fifteen minutes up the road, which makes this one of our fastest-response towns in the county.
Spring
Groundhogs emerge hungry, and raccoon and squirrel litters land in attics. Family removals, done right.
Summer
Bat maternity season along the creek. Skunk dens under stoops peak. Exclusion prep during the blackout.
Fall
The September squirrel push, plus rodents moving in off the Route 130 strip as nights cool.
Winter
Attic-refuge season. Anything that found a vent gap in October is overhead by January.
Five-Minute Checks for a Burlington Township House
✓ Walk the shed and deck perimeter for fresh dirt fans. A fan of soil at a hole is an active groundhog or skunk burrow.
✓ Scan the ridge vent line for lifted or chewed sections. Plastic ridge vents are the 1990s-colonial squirrel door.
✓ Check gable vents for bent louvers or chew marks at the corners.
✓ Near the creek, look for greasy rub marks on downspouts and corner trim. Raccoons climb the same route nightly.
✓ Check the chimney for a cap. An open flue near the Assiscunk gets found every spring.
Any one of those signs is worth a call. The inspection is included, the entry-point map is photographed, and the quote is written. No pressure, no mystery.
