Wildlife Removal Imlaystown, NJ
Humane Nuisance Animal Control From Farmhouse to Hayloft
Scratching above the ceiling is usually the first clue, but on a Monmouth County farm property the house is rarely the only building an animal has claimed. A raccoon in the hayloft or a groundhog under the run-in shed will eventually test the main house, and older frame homes in the village offer plenty of loose trim and open eaves. That’s why wildlife removal in Imlaystown means clearing every building and sealing every entry point, not just trapping one animal.
UFO Nuisance Wildlife Control removes raccoons, squirrels, bats, groundhogs, skunks, and other nuisance animals with humane, no-kill methods, then seals and rebuilds every opening they used. More than 200 five-star Google reviews back that work.
What Homeowners Say After We Fix the Problem
UFO provides professional services. We had issues with racoons in the attic. Josh did an excellent job trapping, treating the attic, and sealing roof return. We highly recommend Josh and UFO.
Removal, Exclusion and Repair Under One Crew
Our crews work out of Southampton Township and handle wildlife removal throughout Upper Freehold, where a single property often includes a house plus a barn, shed, or detached garage. A complete job covers the following.
Humane Animal Removal
Cage traps handle raccoons, skunks and opossums, while squirrels and bats exit through one-way doors mounted over their entry point. Every animal leaves alive.
Full Exterior Exclusion
Sealing only the active hole sends the next animal to the gap beside it. We close every weak point from the chimney cap to the foundation vents, and bury mesh along sheds and decks where diggers get underneath.
Structural Repairs After Wildlife Damage
Chewed fascia, pried-open soffits, bent gable vents and torn screens are rebuilt as part of our animal damage repair work, by the same licensed crew that handled the removal.
Attic Decontamination and Deodorizing
Once the animals are out, attic cleanup is scaled to what they left behind: an odor treatment and droppings pickup after a short stay, or full insulation removal and sanitizing after a long-term nest.
Nuisance Animals We Remove From Homes, Barns and Sheds
Upper Freehold keeps about 6,000 acres of farmland permanently preserved, and the 6,300-acre Assunpink Wildlife Management Area sits just north of the village. Between them, hedgerows, woodlots and Doctor’s Creek give wildlife an unbroken path to your yard.
The plan depends on which animal is inside, what it damaged, and whether it is using the house, the barn, or both.
Please Note: UFO Nuisance Wildlife Control focuses exclusively on wild animals. For help with domestic pets like stray cats or dogs, please reach out to your local animal control services.
Muddy prints on a downspout and heavy thumping after midnight usually lead back to the creek and lake corridor. A denning raccoon here often splits its time between the chimney, the attic and the barn loft.
Oak hedgerows between the fields keep gray squirrels fed and give them a direct route to your roof. Once inside, they chew cedar trim and attic vents, and attic squirrels eventually move on to wiring.
Skittering that starts after dark and fades by dawn points to a colony living in the insulation. Flying squirrels come in from nearby woodlots through gaps few homeowners ever notice.
Dark staining below a gable peak or roof return usually marks a roost inside a house or barn. Bat colonies leave through one-way devices, so none are harmed and none get back in.
Opossums
Rustling under a porch, deck or barn floor at night is often an opossum drawn in by pet food or feed. We clear it out before droppings and nesting material start piling up.
Fresh dirt mounds beside a shed, porch slab or foundation mean tunneling is already undermining the soil. A groundhog burrow usually has more than one entrance, so we deal with the whole system.
Lawn flipped over during the night and a musky smell near the porch usually mean a skunk is denning close by. Acting early beats dealing with spray or a litter under the deck.
A shed skin in the barn or basement usually means a black rat snake followed the mice indoors. Water snakes stay closer to the lake and creek, and identifying the species always comes first.
How the Season Changes the Job
Farm country runs on a calendar, and so does wildlife. What we find, and how soon we can seal it, depends on when you call.
Late Winter: Dens Turn Into Nurseries
Hear thumping in the chimney on a February night? That’s usually a pregnant raccoon claiming a den before her kits arrive, which is why February is our busiest raccoon month. Older homes here and in nearby Allentown are prime targets, and waiting turns one removal into a whole family.
Spring: Burrows and Litters Everywhere
Watch for fresh dirt beside the shed as soon as the ground thaws, a sign groundhogs are digging new burrows from field edges here to the newer neighborhoods toward Robbinsville. Up in the attic, insulation becomes a nursery for squirrel litters, and those openings stay open until the young can follow their mother out.
Summer: Bats Can’t Be Rushed
Patience is the rule once pups are born in barn and gable-end roosts. New Jersey protects bats, so exclusion waits until the young can fly, and we spend that window on inspection, repairs, and setting up the one-way devices.
Fall: Harvest Pushes Animals Toward Buildings
By the time combines roll through the surrounding corn and soybean fields, raccoons, mice and flying squirrels have lost their cover and food. Within days they head for barns and houses, so late summer is the best time to seal every opening.
From First Walkthrough to Final Seal
A bat in a gable vent and a raccoon family in a barn loft follow the same five steps, just on different timelines.
-
Free Inspection of the House and Outbuildings
We walk the roofline, chimney, soffits, foundation, porch, and every barn or shed on the property. Then we explain, step by step, what we found and what we would do before any work starts.
-
Reading the Signs to Identify the Animal
Droppings, grease marks, tracks, chew marks and nesting debris tell us the species, how many there are, and whether young are present. That answer sets both the method and the timing.
-
Setting the Timeline
You'll know how long removal should take and when we'll be back to check. If young are present, the schedule waits until they can leave with their mother.
-
Confirming the Space Is Empty
Follow-up visits track activity until traps sit empty and nothing moves through the one-way doors. The final opening stays open until then, so no animal gets sealed in.
-
Final Seal and Wrap-Up
Once activity stops, the last opening is closed, usually on the same trip, and we go over everything that was done. If the attic needs decontamination, that gets its own visit.

What Horse and Farm Owners Around Imlaystown Ask Us
What does it cost to clear wildlife from a house and barns in Upper Freehold?
Price depends on the species, how many entry points need sealing, roof height, and whether barns or sheds need work too. You’ll have the number from the free inspection before anything starts.
Are raccoons around Imlaystown a rabies risk for pets and horses?
Raccoons are among the animals most often found rabid in New Jersey, so keep pets and horses current on vaccines. Never approach one that’s out in daylight, stumbling, or unafraid of people.
Can opossums living under the barn make my horses sick?
They can. Opossum droppings can carry the parasite that causes equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM), so getting them out from under the barn and storing feed in sealed bins both matter.
Is bat guano in a hayloft a health risk?
Built-up guano can grow the fungus that causes histoplasmosis, and sweeping it dry puts spores in the air. An old roost should be cleaned professionally once the bats are gone.
With Assunpink so close, won't wildlife just keep coming back?
Animals from Assunpink and the surrounding farmland will always be nearby, but sealed buildings give them no way in. Our exclusion work carries a [insert warranty length and terms] guarantee, and if something does get back in, we come back out.
The Damage Grows Every Week It Stays
A nesting animal keeps enlarging its way in, shredding insulation, soiling the attic, and leaving a scent trail the next raccoon or squirrel will follow. A small gap at the roof edge this month can be a rebuilt soffit and a full attic cleanup by next season.
Schedule your free inspection and you will leave the visit knowing what is living there, how it got in, what it has damaged, and what it will cost to close the building off for good. There is no obligation to book the work that day.
