One Call For All Your Animal Control Needs

A removal without the follow-through leaves your home open to the next animal that tests the same spot. UFO covers everything from trapping to cleanup to lasting repairs under one plan.

Animal Trapping

Nuisance animals are removed using humane, no-kill trapping methods that protect your household and respect the animal in the process.

Animal Home Repair

Damaged soffits, chewed trim, and compromised vent covers are repaired and reinforced so the areas animals exploited don’t stay vulnerable.

Wildlife Exclusion

Gaps along the roofline, around vents, at the chimney, and near crawl space openings are sealed with materials designed to hold up against salt air, wind, and repeated pressure from wildlife.

Animal Removal

From attic activity and wall voids to animals sheltering under decks and raised structures, each removal is handled with methods suited to the species and the space.

Attic Remediation and Sanitation

Nesting debris, droppings, and contaminated insulation are cleared out and the space is sanitized and deodorized so your attic doesn’t draw in new animals.

Animals We Commonly See in Lavallette Homes Like Yours

Lavallette’s position along the barrier island gives wildlife consistent access to residential areas, especially where older construction has created gaps around rooflines, crawl spaces, and raised foundations. Every species is handled with removal methods built around the animal’s behavior and your home’s specific vulnerabilities.

Please note that UFO Nuisance Wildlife Control does not handle domestic animals like stray cats or dogs.

Raccoons

As they are strong and resourceful, getting raccoons removed before they establish a den keeps the damage from spreading.

Squirrels

Squirrels gnaw through trim and vent covers to reach warm attic insulation, and the gaps get wider the longer they’re active. Squirrel removal paired with proper sealing stops the cycle.

Flying Squirrels

Flying squirrels often go unnoticed until a colony has formed in the attic. Locating their entry routes and closing them off after flying squirrel removal keeps them out for good.

Bats

Bats roosting in attic spaces and voids require exclusion-based removal that lets them leave safely while permanently closing the access points they’ve been using.

Opossums

Raised foundations and the enclosed areas beneath porches and decks are common sheltering spots. Removal and a basic cleanup of the area keeps waste and odors from building up.

Groundhogs

Groundhogs are removed and existing tunnels are filled to stop the digging before structural issues develop.

Skunks

Skunks denning beneath porches and low outdoor structures are best handled early, before they spray or widen the space they’ve claimed beneath your home.

Other Wildlife

Birds, snakes, and other nuisance animals are removed and excluded using methods matched to the species and situation.

Seasonal Strategies To Protect Your Home Year-Round

Wildlife behavior shifts throughout the year, and the threats to your home shift with it. UFO adjusts the approach based on what animals are doing each season so Lavallette homeowners stay protected year-round.

Fall & Winter

As temperatures drop along the shore, wildlife starts pushing into homes searching for a warm, sheltered place to wait out the cold. Raised foundations, older crawl spaces, and attic access points are especially appealing in barrier island communities where wind exposure makes heat retention critical for animals.

Common fall and winter calls involve:

Raccoons forcing their way into attics and chimney flues to den before the cold arrives
Squirrels chewing through exterior trim and vent covers to reach insulated space
Flying squirrels entering through small roofline gaps after dark
Skunks burrowing beneath porches, deck footings, and sheds
Opossums sheltering inside crawl spaces and enclosed structures

Getting ahead of these intrusions in early fall is far less costly than dealing with a full winter of nesting damage.

Spring & Summer

Warmer months bring nesting season and litters. Animals that found their way in over winter may already be raising young before spring, and that changes how removal needs to be approached.

Spring and summer situations addressed regularly include:

Raccoons raising litters in attics, chimneys, and quiet upper spaces
Squirrels building nests in insulation and wall cavities
Bats forming maternity colonies during roosting season
Groundhogs expanding burrow systems near patios and foundations
Birds packing nesting material into exhaust vents and exterior gaps

Our Process for Removal & Long-Term Prevention

Every job works through the same complete process because the animal is only part of the issue. The entry point, the damage, and the conditions that made intrusion possible all need to be addressed.

Detailed Home Inspection

The attic, crawl space, roofline, vents, foundation, and exterior structures are checked to locate wildlife activity, access points, and damage before any removal work begins.
Custom Plan Depending On The Animals

The removal and exclusion plan is built around the specific species, where it's active, and which areas of your home need to be protected based on what the inspection finds.
Humane Trapping & Relocation

Wildlife is removed using no-kill methods that keep your household safe and give the animal a way out without unnecessary harm.
Sealing Any Openings To Prevent Reentry

After removal, the entry points animals were using are sealed and reinforced with materials suited for the shore environment so future intrusion attempts don't find the same easy route back in.

What Homeowners Like You Want to Know About Animal Control

Is wildlife removal covered by homeowners' insurance in NJ?

Coverage varies by policy. Some homeowners’ insurance plans cover structural damage caused by wildlife, but removal and exclusion services are generally not included. Check your coverage directly with your provider. Documentation from the inspection can be shared to support any claim you need to file.

Do you offer emergency wildlife removal?

Yes. If wildlife is actively in your home and you need help now, call UFO directly. Urgent situations get the fastest response available, and you’ll be told upfront what to expect before anyone arrives.

Can animals in the attic affect my heating and cooling bills?

They can. Nesting in attic insulation flattens and contaminates the material, making it far less effective at regulating indoor temperature. Combined with the entry gaps animals use to get inside, conditioned air escapes more freely and your system has to work harder to compensate. Removal and insulation remediation typically show up noticeably on energy bills.

What time of year is wildlife activity highest in NJ?

Two windows see the most pressure: fall, when animals push hard into homes searching for shelter before cold weather arrives, and spring, when nesting and litter activity peaks. For shore communities like Lavallette, wind-driven exterior wear and older construction materials mean gaps develop faster than in more sheltered areas, which keeps wildlife pressure present across most of the year.

Are one-way exclusion devices safe when there may be baby animals present?

One-way devices are never installed before confirming whether young animals are present. If babies or an active nest are found, the approach is adjusted to keep the family together and make sure nothing is sealed inside. This matters most during spring and early summer when litters are most likely to be active.

Peace of Mind Is Just One Phone Call Away

Scratching behind walls and middle-of-the-night noises overhead don’t have to be something you live with. UFO Nuisance Wildlife Control removes the animal, repairs the damage, cleans up the mess, and seals your home so you’re not managing the same problem again next season.
