Why squirrels and raccoons get into Fair Lawn homes
Fair Lawn has the Passaic River, the Saddle River and the many parks and wooded lots in Radburn, which supports a healthy population of squirrels and raccoons close to homes. Much of the housing is capes, colonials and the planned homes of Radburn, often surrounded by large trees.
Neighborhoods with shared green space and old trees give squirrels and raccoons an easy path straight to the roofline.
Signs to watch for
- Scratching or running in the ceiling at sunrise and late afternoon (squirrels)
- Heavy thumping at night (raccoons)
- Chewed roof corners, soffits or vents
- Droppings or shredded insulation in the attic
- Animals going in and out at the roofline

Our process
First we inspect the entire roofline and attic. Then one-way doors go on the active holes while every other gap is sealed with galvanized steel. When the animals are gone, the doors come off, the last holes are sealed, and we repair what they chewed.
What we do in Fair Lawn
- Every gap sealed with galvanized steel mesh and flashing
- Full roofline, chimney and attic inspection
- Attic cleanup and insulation replacement

Details on each service: squirrel proofing, raccoon proofing, chimney caps and damage repair.
When to call in Fair Lawn
Squirrels move into attics as the weather cools and have babies in late winter and again in late summer. Raccoons look for dens in late winter and have kits in spring. The best time to seal is before those seasons — but if animals are already inside, we work around the babies safely (baby season in NJ).

Fair Lawn wildlife proofing — FAQ
Why do I have squirrels or raccoons in Fair Lawn?
Fair Lawn has the Passaic River, the Saddle River and the many parks and wooded lots in Radburn near homes, and much of the housing is capes, colonials and the planned homes of Radburn, often surrounded by large trees. Neighborhoods with shared green space and old trees give squirrels and raccoons an easy path straight to the roofline.
Is there a raccoon risk to my pets in Fair Lawn?
Raccoons can carry rabies and roundworm. Keep pets away from them and their droppings, and secure pet food outdoors.
