Squirrel & Raccoon Proofing in Saddle Brook, NJ
Wildlife problems in Saddle Brook 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 Saddle Brook homes
Saddle Brook has Saddle River County Park and its wooded path system, which supports a healthy population of squirrels and raccoons close to homes. Much of the housing is ranches, split-levels and capes on mature, tree-filled lots.
Big shade trees over the roof are the main highway for squirrels here. Trimming them back is one of the first things we recommend.

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.
Year-round, but busiest in spring and fall
Raccoon kits are born in spring; gray squirrels have litters in late winter and late summer, and look for warm attics through fall and winter. Saddle Brook homes are safest sealed before the next season starts. More on timing: 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.

Why do I have squirrels or raccoons in Saddle Brook?
Saddle Brook has Saddle River County Park and its wooded path system near homes, and much of the housing is ranches, split-levels and capes on mature, tree-filled lots. Big shade trees over the roof are the main highway for squirrels here. Trimming them back is one of the first things we recommend.
Can you put a chimney cap on my Saddle Brook home?
Yes. We install stainless steel chimney caps sized to your flue and remove any animal first.
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.
Do you remove squirrels in Saddle Brook 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.
