Why squirrels and raccoons get into Little Falls homes
Little Falls has the Passaic River falls and wooded hillsides near Great Notch, which supports a healthy population of squirrels and raccoons close to homes. Much of the housing is older single-family homes and newer townhouses on hilly lots.
Hillside lots put rooflines close to the ground on the uphill side — an easy step for raccoons. We guard those low roof edges.
Seasons matter
In Little Falls, fall and winter calls are mostly squirrels looking for warmth. Spring brings raccoon mothers to chimneys and attics. Late summer brings second squirrel litters. We check for young every time before sealing — see baby season in NJ.
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.
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.

Little Falls wildlife proofing — FAQ
Why do I have squirrels or raccoons in Little Falls?
Little Falls has the Passaic River falls and wooded hillsides near Great Notch near homes, and much of the housing is older single-family homes and newer townhouses on hilly lots. Hillside lots put rooflines close to the ground on the uphill side — an easy step for raccoons. We guard those low roof edges.
Do you clean the attic after animals leave?
Yes. We remove droppings and soiled insulation, treat the area and can replace insulation.
Will the squirrels come back?
Not through openings sealed with steel mesh and flashing. If a new spot is ever chewed, call us.
Do you repair the damage too?
Yes. We repair chewed soffits, fascia, roof returns and vents and reinforce them with steel, so you don’t need a separate contractor.
