Marlton is one of the busiest towns on our Burlington County map, and the reason is simple: the town backs onto real woods. The Black Run Preserve holds more than a thousand acres of protected Pinelands on the south side, and the Pine Barrens edge keeps raccoons, squirrels, and groundhogs moving through Evesham backyards every night of the year.

What We Get Called for Most in Marlton
Kings Grant and Marlton Lakes were deliberately built into the trees, which is exactly why people love them and exactly why their attics get found. Mature oaks feed squirrels, the lakes feed the insects that feed bats, and the Black Run Preserve keeps the surrounding forest permanently wild. Squirrels are our top Marlton call, raccoons second, bats third, with groundhogs under preserve-edge sheds close behind.
The housing helps the animals too. Most of Marlton went up between the 1970s and the 1990s, so the original gable vents, soffit returns, and builder-grade roof vents are now 30 to 50 years old. A gray squirrel needs a gap barely bigger than a golf ball, and a raccoon can pull a weathered soffit return open by hand. Acorn Wildlife in Marlton, NJ sees both the wooded south side and the Route 70 corridor every week.
Spring
Raccoon and squirrel litters in Kings Grant attics. Baby-season family removals take a few extra days, and we tell you so.
Summer
Bat maternity season near the lakes. Inspections and exclusion prep during the legal blackout, valves set the week it lifts.
Fall
The September squirrel push, plus mice moving indoors off the Route 70 and Route 73 commercial strips.
Winter
Attic-refuge season. Anything that found a gap in October is living overhead by January.
Five-Minute Checks for a Marlton House
✓ Look at both gable vents from the curb. Bent louvers or chew marks at a corner mean squirrel traffic.
✓ Walk the soffit line where the roof meets the gutter. A lifted or stained soffit return is the classic 1980s-colonial entry.
✓ If you back to the preserve or the lakes, check under the shed and deck for fresh dirt fans. That is a groundhog or skunk burrow.
✓ Check the chimney for a cap. An open flue near woods this thick is a raccoon den invitation every spring.
✓ After dusk, stand in the yard and listen. Daytime noise points to squirrels; steady scratching 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.
