Why squirrels and raccoons get into North Arlington homes
North Arlington has the Passaic River and Riverside County Park, which supports a healthy population of squirrels and raccoons close to homes. Much of the housing is single-family homes and two-families on the bluff above the river.
Homes near the river park see raccoons year-round. Vent guards and chimney caps are the first line of defense.
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.
When to call in North Arlington
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.

Do you clean the attic after animals leave?
Yes. We remove droppings and soiled insulation, treat the area and can replace insulation.
Is there a raccoon risk to my pets in North Arlington?
Raccoons can carry rabies and roundworm. Keep pets away from them and their droppings, and secure pet food outdoors.
