Squirrel & Raccoon Proofing in Lodi, NJ
Wildlife problems in Lodi usually start at the roofline. We find every opening, move the animals out with one-way doors and seal the house with materials they can’t chew through.

Why squirrels and raccoons get into Lodi homes
Lodi has the Saddle River that runs through town and the wooded strip along it, which supports a healthy population of squirrels and raccoons close to homes. Much of the housing is compact single-family homes and two-families, many with additions and dormers that create extra roof corners.
Additions and dormers mean more roof-to-wall joints — each one is a spot squirrels test. We check every intersection, not just the main roofline.
When to call in Lodi
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).
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.

Lodi wildlife proofing — FAQ
Why do I have squirrels or raccoons in Lodi?
Lodi has the Saddle River that runs through town and the wooded strip along it near homes, and much of the housing is compact single-family homes and two-families, many with additions and dormers that create extra roof corners. Additions and dormers mean more roof-to-wall joints — each one is a spot squirrels test. We check every intersection, not just the main roofline.
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 remove squirrels in Lodi 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.
Can you put a chimney cap on my Lodi home?
Yes. We install stainless steel chimney caps sized to your flue and remove any animal first.
Do you clean the attic after animals leave?
Yes. We remove droppings and soiled insulation, treat the area and can replace insulation.
