Glassboro is the college town on our Gloucester County map. Rowan University's growth rebuilt the blocks around Rowan Boulevard, but the streets radiating from downtown still carry the borough's older housing: big early-1900s homes, many long since divided into student rentals. Old housing plus high tenant turnover is a wildlife formula, and it keeps us busy here year-round.

What We Get Called for Most in Glassboro
The rental stock drives the phone. Early-1900s houses divided into student units get hard use and light attention: a rotted soffit corner or torn screen goes unreported until something is living in it, and tenants hear noises a homeowner would have chased down in October. Squirrels lead the Glassboro call log, mice second, bats third, and a lot of our borough work starts with a landlord who needs photo documentation as much as removal. Our inspection report is built for exactly that.
Geography does the rest. The Glassboro Wildlife Management Area's woods run against the south side of town, feeding raccoons, opossums, and the occasional snake into the borough's edges, and mature street trees on the old blocks keep the squirrel highway open. Acorn Wildlife in Glassboro, NJ works both the campus-side rentals and the family neighborhoods, and every job ends with the entry sealed, not just the animal gone.
Spring
Raccoon and squirrel litters in old-block attics. Baby-season family removals, done without stranding kits.
Summer
Bat maternity season in the tall Victorians. Turnover season is the best time for landlord inspections.
Fall
The September squirrel push, plus mice moving into rental kitchens as nights cool.
Winter
Attic-refuge season. Tenant noise complaints in January usually mean an October gap.
Five-Minute Checks for a Glassboro Property
✓ Walk the soffit line and look for rotted or lifted corners. Divided houses fail there first.
✓ Check the chimney for a cap. Uncapped early-1900s flues are the classic borough raccoon den.
✓ Scan the foundation for dime-width gaps, especially around utility entries. Mice use them all winter.
✓ Landlords: ask tenants directly about noises at unit turnover. They rarely volunteer it until damage is done.
✓ At dusk, watch the rooflines near Academy Street. Bats leaving a gap look like slow sparks against the sky.
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.
