Watch: how we seal animals out
Why squirrels and raccoons get into Little Ferry homes
Little Ferry has the Hackensack River and the Meadowlands marsh edge, which supports a healthy population of squirrels and raccoons close to homes. Much of the housing is compact single-family homes and two-families.
Near the river and marsh, raccoons are a regular visitor. Locked garbage cans and screened decks make a big difference here.
When to call in Little Ferry
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).
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.
How it works
- Inspect every opening and check for young.
- Exclude with one-way doors.
- Seal the rest with steel.
- Close the last holes once the animals are out.
- Repair damage and clean up.

Little Ferry wildlife proofing — FAQ
Why do I have squirrels or raccoons in Little Ferry?
Little Ferry has the Hackensack River and the Meadowlands marsh edge near homes, and much of the housing is compact single-family homes and two-families. Near the river and marsh, raccoons are a regular visitor. Locked garbage cans and screened decks make a big difference here.
Will the squirrels come back?
Not through openings sealed with steel mesh and flashing. If a new spot is ever chewed, call us.
Can you put a chimney cap on my Little Ferry home?
Yes. We install stainless steel chimney caps sized to your flue and remove any animal first.
Do you remove squirrels in Little Ferry 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.
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.
