Why squirrels and raccoons get into Teaneck homes
Teaneck has Overpeck County Park and the Hackensack River, which supports a healthy population of squirrels and raccoons close to homes. Much of the housing is Tudors, colonials and large older homes on tree-lined streets.
Tudors have many roof valleys, dormers and slate or older shingles with gaps at the edges. Every intersection is a place to check.
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. Teaneck homes are safest sealed before the next season starts. More on timing: 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.

Teaneck wildlife proofing — FAQ
Why do I have squirrels or raccoons in Teaneck?
Teaneck has Overpeck County Park and the Hackensack River near homes, and much of the housing is Tudors, colonials and large older homes on tree-lined streets. Tudors have many roof valleys, dormers and slate or older shingles with gaps at the edges. Every intersection is a place to check.
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 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 remove squirrels in Teaneck 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.
