Cherry Hill is the busiest town on our Camden County service map, and the reason is the housing. Most of the township went up between 1950 and 1975, which means the original gable vents, soffit returns, and roofline joints are all past their sixtieth birthday. Squirrels and raccoons know it better than the homeowners do.

What We Get Called for Most in Cherry Hill
Cherry Hill's postwar housing stock (Barclay, Kingston, Woodcrest) is now 60+ years old, and the original gable vents, soffit returns, and roofline gaps are exactly squirrel-sized and raccoon-sized. Add the Cooper River and Pennypacker Park wildlife corridors and the town produces steady attic calls year-round: squirrels first, raccoons second, bats third, with fall rodent pressure along the Route 70 commercial strip.
The east side is different. Newer homes off Springdale Road back up to the remaining farm fields and the woods around Barclay Farmstead and Croft Farm, so those calls skew toward groundhogs under sheds, skunks under stoops, and raccoons working the tree line. Acorn Wildlife in Cherry Hill, NJ sees both halves of the township every week.
Spring
Raccoon and squirrel litters in Barclay-era attics. Baby-season family removals take a few extra days, and we tell you so.
Summer
Bat maternity season. Inspections and exclusion prep during the legal blackout, valves set the week it lifts.
Fall
The rodent rush: squirrels caching, rats and mice moving indoors off the Route 70 strip.
Winter
Attic-refuge season. Anything that found a gap in October is overhead by January.
Five-Minute Checks for a Cherry Hill House
✓ Stand at the curb and look at both gable vents. Bent louvers or a dark stain below the vent means traffic.
✓ Walk the soffit line where the roof meets the gutter. A lifted or stained soffit return is the classic Barclay-era squirrel door.
✓ Check the chimney for a cap. An open flue in Cherry Hill is a raccoon den invitation every spring.
✓ Look for greasy rub marks on downspouts and corner trim. Raccoons climb the same route every night.
✓ After dusk, stand in the driveway and listen. Squirrels are daytime animals; steady noise at 10 pm points to raccoons, mice, or flying squirrels.
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.
