Why squirrels and raccoons get into Glen Rock homes
Glen Rock has the duck pond area, Diamond Brook and many shaded streets, which supports a healthy population of squirrels and raccoons close to homes. Much of the housing is older colonials and Tudors on tree-filled lots.
Shaded lots and old roofs are where squirrels thrive. We seal roof returns and soffits and recommend trimming trees back.
How to tell what you have
Daytime noise — especially early morning — points to squirrels. Night-time thumping and chattering points to raccoons; lighter night scratching to mice or rats. Look for chewed wood at roof corners (squirrels) or torn vents and soffits (raccoons). Our attic noise guide goes deeper.

Details on each service: squirrel proofing, raccoon proofing, chimney caps and damage repair.
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.
Year-round, but busiest in spring and fall
Raccoon kits are born in spring; gray squirrels have litters in late winter and late summer, and look for warm attics through fall and winter. Glen Rock homes are safest sealed before the next season starts. More on timing: baby season in NJ.

Glen Rock wildlife proofing — FAQ
Why do I have squirrels or raccoons in Glen Rock?
Glen Rock has the duck pond area, Diamond Brook and many shaded streets near homes, and much of the housing is older colonials and Tudors on tree-filled lots. Shaded lots and old roofs are where squirrels thrive. We seal roof returns and soffits and recommend trimming trees back.
Is there a raccoon risk to my pets in Glen Rock?
Raccoons can carry rabies and roundworm. Keep pets away from them and their droppings, and secure pet food outdoors.
Do you remove squirrels in Glen Rock without trapping?
Yes. We use one-way doors so squirrels leave on their own, then seal every opening with steel. No trapping inside your home.
What if there are babies?
We check for young before sealing anything and either reunite them with the mother or wait until they can leave.
Do you clean the attic after animals leave?
Yes. We remove droppings and soiled insulation, treat the area and can replace insulation.
