Squirrel & Raccoon Proofing in Wallington, NJ
Wildlife problems in Wallington 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.
Watch: how we seal animals out
Why squirrels and raccoons get into Wallington homes
Wallington has the Passaic River along the west edge of town, which supports a healthy population of squirrels and raccoons close to homes. Much of the housing is closely built two-family and single-family homes with narrow side yards.
Narrow side yards make ladder access tight; we bring the right equipment so a close neighbor’s house isn’t a problem.
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.

Seasons matter
In Wallington, fall and winter calls are mostly squirrels looking for warmth. Spring brings raccoon mothers to chimneys and attics. Late summer brings second squirrel litters. We check for young every time before sealing — see baby season in NJ.
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.

Wallington wildlife proofing — FAQ
Why do I have squirrels or raccoons in Wallington?
Wallington has the Passaic River along the west edge of town near homes, and much of the housing is closely built two-family and single-family homes with narrow side yards. Narrow side yards make ladder access tight; we bring the right equipment so a close neighbor’s house isn’t a problem.
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.
How fast can you come out to Wallington?
We schedule Wallington inspections quickly, often within a few days, and sooner for animals in the living space. Call 973-510-2585.
Will the squirrels come back?
Not through openings sealed with steel mesh and flashing. If a new spot is ever chewed, call us.
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.
