Why squirrels and raccoons get into Hasbrouck Heights homes
Hasbrouck Heights has the tree-lined streets on the hill and nearby parks, which supports a healthy population of squirrels and raccoons close to homes. Much of the housing is older colonials and capes, many with dormers and detached garages.
Older homes with dormers and enclosed porches have many soffit joints. We seal all of them, not just the one in use.
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
