Moorestown is one of the oldest towns on our Burlington County map, and the housing shows it in the best way: tree-lined streets, big Victorians and Colonial Revivals from the late 1800s and early 1900s, slate roofs, and fieldstone foundations. Beautiful for people. Even better for bats, squirrels, and raccoons.

A few recent calls, so you can see what Moorestown work actually looks like. Street addresses stay private; neighborhoods tell the story.
Main Street District: Bats
Big brown colony behind the rake board of an 1890s Victorian. Counted at dusk, excluded legally in August.

What We Get Called for Most in Moorestown
Moorestown's century-old housing stock is the story. Homes built in the 1890s through the 1920s have wood rake boards, open ridge gaps, unlined chimneys, and fieldstone foundations, and a century of settling opens seams a modern house never has. That is why bats and squirrels lead the Moorestown call log, with raccoons denning in uncapped chimneys every spring. Strawbridge Lake and the Swede Run corridor keep the animals fed and moving right through the middle of town.
Lenola, on the Maple Shade side, is a different vintage: postwar capes and ranches whose original soffit returns and gable vents are now 70 years old. Those calls skew squirrels and mice. Acorn Wildlife in Moorestown, NJ works both ends of town every week, and the fix is the same philosophy either way: remove the animal humanely, then seal the building so it stays empty.
Spring
Raccoon mothers in uncapped chimneys and squirrel litters in old attics. Family removals, done without stranding kits.
Summer
Bat maternity season in the Victorian district. Inspections and exclusion prep during the legal blackout.
Fall
The September squirrel push, plus mice finding fieldstone foundation gaps as nights cool.
Winter
Attic-refuge season. A century-old attic in January is the warmest den in town.
Five-Minute Checks for a Moorestown House
✓ Check every chimney for a cap. Uncapped flues are the number one Moorestown raccoon entry, especially near the lake.
✓ Scan the rake boards and ridge line at dusk. Bats leaving a gap look like slow sparks against the sky.
✓ Walk the fieldstone foundation and note any gap wider than a dime. Mice use them all winter.
✓ Look for branches within six feet of the roof. Moorestown's street trees are squirrel highways.
✓ In the attic, look for staining or droppings along the chimney chase and ridge. Old houses tell on their tenants.
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.
