Wildlife Damage Repair in NJ — Attic Cleanup, Insulation & Entry-Point Sealing

Wildlife damage repair includes sealing the holes animals used, removing droppings and nests, controlling the odor and replacing damaged attic insulation. We do the sealing, HEPA cleanup, odor control and insulation removal and replacement ourselves, and we repair chewed soffits, fascia and trim ourselves too. Ask us about vent repairs when we inspect.

Common signs are a strong smell, droppings, flattened or tunneled insulation, chewed wires or wood, and daylight showing through the roofline. Outside, look for holes at soffit corners, torn roof vents and stains around gaps. Text us photos and we'll tell you what we see.

Often, but not always. A small nest can sometimes be cleaned and patched. Raccoon latrines, bat guano, urine-soaked areas or insulation that's been flattened across the attic usually need to come out and be replaced. We show you what we find before recommending how much.

It's risky. Raccoon droppings can carry roundworm eggs and bat guano can grow a fungus that causes lung infections when dust is breathed in. Household vacuums spread the dust. If you must clean a small spot, wet it first and wear gloves and a mask, or let us handle it with HEPA equipment.

Sealing and a small cleanup can often be done in a day. A full attic cleanup and insulation replacement takes longer, depending on the attic's size and access. The biggest timing factor is making sure the animals are out first, which can take a few days with one-way doors.

The smell comes from waste, nests and soiled insulation, so masking sprays don't last. We remove the soiled material with HEPA equipment, treat the area for odor, and replace insulation if needed. If the smell is from an animal that died in a wall, it has to be found and removed.

No — and you shouldn't. Sealing holes while animals are inside traps them, and they'll chew a new way out or die in the walls. We confirm the animals are out first, then seal, clean and restore. Bats in particular can only be excluded during certain times of year in NJ.

It depends on how many entry points there are, how high and steep the roof is, how much cleanup is needed and how much insulation has to be replaced. We give a free quote after inspecting the attic and roofline rather than guessing a price over the phone.

It depends on your policy. Some damage may be covered and some may not, and coverage for animals like squirrels or rodents is often treated differently. Call your insurance company and ask before you file. We can show you what we found during the inspection.
