Wildlife Removal in Erial, NJ
the Quiet Parts of Your Home
Getting Animals Out of Erial Homes and Keeping Them Out
That scratching above the bedroom ceiling usually isn’t the wind. In Erial, where wooded lots and tall pines leave a lot of roofs just one overhanging branch away from a curious squirrel or raccoon, a few overhead noises can become torn insulation, chewed wiring, and a stained ceiling fast, especially on the older 1970s and 80s homes whose soffits, fascia, and wood trim have softened with age.
That’s why effective wildlife removal in Erial can’t stop at trapping the animal. UFO Nuisance Wildlife Control pairs humane, no-kill removal with the exclusion, repairs, attic cleanup, and odor control that close the gap the animal used and keep the next one from finding it.
It’s an approach homeowners across Erial, Sicklerville, Blackwood, and the rest of Gloucester Township have backed with more than 200 five-star Google reviews.

A Full Plan for Removal, Repairs & Protection
Wildlife problems don’t end when the animal leaves, so every part of the job is aimed at helping your home stay protected after we’re gone.
Humane Trapping & Removal
Our no-kill approach gets nuisance animals back where they belong without creating unnecessary stress for the wildlife or your household.
Entry Point Sealing & Exclusion
The same cracks, vents, and roofline gaps that let one animal inside won’t be left waiting for the next one.
Repairs for Chewed, Torn & Damaged Areas
With animal damage control, the places wildlife tore apart or weakened are restored so they don’t remain vulnerable.
Attic Cleanup & Odor Control
After attic animal removal, we clear away the waste, nesting debris, and odor sources that wildlife leaves behind, helping return the space to a cleaner condition.
Wildlife Issues We Handle Around Erial Properties
Backing to woodland groves and the Big Timber Creek corridor that winds down toward Blackwood, a lot of Erial properties see steady wildlife pressure year-round, and different animals leave different clues. We identify what’s there by how it’s living and moving around your home, from noises overhead to fresh burrows in the yard.
Please note: UFO Nuisance Wildlife Control does not remove domestic pets such as stray cats or dogs.
Raccoons
Squirrels
Flying Squirrels
Bats
Bats roost in attics and leave behind droppings that build up over time. We use humane exclusion that lets them leave on their own and keeps them from getting back in.
Opossums
Opossums settle into the quiet space under decks, porches, and crawl spaces, leaving waste, nesting material, and lingering odors if no one clears them out.
Groundhogs
Groundhog burrows under sheds, patios, and foundation edges can undermine both the soil and the structure above it, so we remove the animal and address the tunneling it leaves behind.
Skunks
Other Wildlife
Birds in a vent, snakes near the foundation, or something you can’t quite identify, we’ll figure out what it is and choose the safest way to handle it.
From noises overhead to burrows in the yard, different animals leave different clues, and we use humane solutions based on where they’re living and how they’re getting around your property.
Why Wildlife Problems Shift by Season
The same vents, roof gaps, and deck openings sit quiet most of the year, then turn into entry points when the weather pushes wildlife to move. Knowing when that pressure spikes helps you catch a problem before it’s living in your attic.
Cold-Weather Entry
As South Jersey temperatures drop, raccoons, squirrels, and flying squirrels go looking for somewhere warmer and quieter, and a loose soffit or roof edge becomes an open door. Skunks and opossums move lower instead, denning under decks, sheds, and crawl spaces to wait out the cold.
Warm-Weather Nesting
Once breeding season hits, attics, chimneys, and vents become birthing and nesting sites for raccoons, squirrels, bats, and birds, while groundhogs dig deeper around sheds and foundations. This is when one small gap quietly turns into a whole litter.
How We Remove Wildlife & Protect the Home
Every UFO job runs the same way: a free on-site inspection first, then a step-by-step plan you approve before any work starts. Here’s what that looks like.
-
Inspecting the Attic, Exterior & Access Points
We walk the roofline, soffits, vents, and roof returns where wildlife slips into older Erial homes, the same aging entry points we seal on the mid-century houses over in Runnemede, pinpointing where the problem actually started instead of guessing.
-
Reading Damage, Droppings & Movement Patterns
Squirrel gnaw marks, raccoon latrines, and bat staining each point to a different species and timeline, which tells us what's living up there and how long it's been settled in.
-
Removing the Animal With a Safe, Compliant Plan
We match a no-kill method to the species and follow New Jersey's relocation rules, the same humane standard the owners carried over from their animal-sanctuary work.
-
Cleaning Messes & Repairing Entry Damage
Because we're a licensed NJ contractor, one crew sanitizes the space and rebuilds the chewed fascia, torn vents, and damaged soffits in-house, with no second contractor to chase down.
-
Closing Vulnerable Areas Against Future Entry
Finally, we seal the openings the animal used along with the weak spots nearby, so the fix actually holds instead of leaving the next squirrel an easy way in.
The Credentials Behind the Wildlife Work
Most companies trap the animal and hand you a separate number for the hole it left behind. UFO is a licensed New Jersey home improvement contractor (NJ HIC 13VH11098000), so the same crew that removes the raccoon also rebuilds the chewed soffit, seals the gap, and cleans up the mess. Owners Jesse Miller and Joshua Chambers founded UFO in 2020, run the jobs themselves, and bring an animal-sanctuary background that makes the no-kill approach more than a marketing line.
For Erial homes specifically, that means:
- Licensed to repair, not just remove, so chewed fascia, torn vents, and damaged soffits get fixed by the people who found them, work most trapping-only outfits can’t legally do.
- Owner-run jobs across Gloucester Township, so the person who inspects your Erial attic is the same one who seals it up, whether you’re off New Brooklyn-Erial Road or out toward Sicklerville.
- Humane removal that follows New Jersey regulations, paired with a free estimate and a clear walkthrough up front instead of padded upsells.
- More than 200 five-star Google reviews from South Jersey homeowners who got the animal gone and the damage handled in one visit.
What to Know When Wildlife Gets Too Close
Is it legal to trap and relocate wildlife yourself in New Jersey?
Not freely. New Jersey limits how wildlife can be trapped and where it can be released, and several common species can’t legally be relocated by a homeowner at all. A licensed operator handles it within state rules so you’re not risking a fine on top of the problem.
Are there times of year when bats can't be removed from an attic?
Yes. During bat maternity season, generally late spring through summer, the young can’t fly yet, so sealing the attic would trap them inside. Exclusion work is timed around that window to stay humane and compliant.
How quickly can you get to a wildlife problem in Erial?
We cover Gloucester Township and nearby Camden County towns like Voorhees straight from South Jersey, so Erial calls are usually scheduled quickly. Active break-ins and animals loose in the living space get priority.
Does homeowners insurance cover wildlife damage in New Jersey?
Sometimes, but many policies treat rodent and wildlife damage as preventable and exclude it. It’s worth checking your coverage, and we can document the damage we find either way.
Do you handle wildlife at both homes and businesses in Erial?
Yes. The same removal, repair, and exclusion process works for houses, rentals, and commercial properties across Erial and the surrounding Gloucester Township area.
Close the Weak Spots Before Wildlife Uses Them Again
The longer an animal stays, the more it chews, soils, and settles in, and the bigger the repair turns out to be. UFO gets it out, cleans up what it left, and seals the way it came in, so you can stop bracing for the next sound at 2 a.m. Reach out today and we’ll take it from there.
