Wildlife Problems in Monmouth County Homes
Scratching in the attic, noises near the chimney, damaged vents, or activity under a deck can all point to a wildlife issue inside or around your home.
UFO Nuisance Wildlife Control provides wildlife removal in Monmouth County, NJ, for homeowners dealing with animals around shore-area homes, wooded properties, older neighborhoods, and homes near local river corridors. Our work focuses on safe removal, entry point identification, and prevention steps that help keep animals from coming back.

Full-Service Wildlife Removal That Keeps Animals Out
Wildlife problems often require more than a trap. We provide the services needed to remove the animal, address the damage, and help prevent repeat intrusions.
Wildlife Inspection and Activity Assessment
We identify the species involved, where the animal is active, and which areas of the home may be affected.
Wildlife Removal and Relocation Methods
We use species-appropriate, non lethal methods that follow New Jersey guidelines and fit the animal, location, and season.
Wildlife Exclusion and Prevention Barriers
We seal vulnerable access points with durable barriers, screening, chimney caps, vent guards, and other prevention materials.
Animal Damage Repair
We repair and reinforce affected areas such as soffits, vents, insulation, wiring access points, and other vulnerable exterior openings.
Attic Cleanup and Sanitizing
We remove droppings, urine, nesting materials, and odors when needed, with disinfecting, deodorizing, and insulation replacement when appropriate.
Common Wildlife We Remove in Monmouth County
Homeowners call us for attic intrusions, chimney entry, and denning under decks or sheds. Here are some of the most common animals we handle.
Please Note: UFO Nuisance Wildlife Control does not handle cats, dogs, or other pets. For help with domestic animals, please contact your local animal shelter.
Often den in attics, chimneys, and garages and can create strong odor and contamination. Learn more about raccoon removal.
Chew on wood and wiring and use small gaps near rooflines and vents to enter attics. See our approach to squirrel removal.
Bats
Leave guano that can create health risks. They are protected in New Jersey, so we only remove them during April 1–30 and August 1–October 15 using safe exclusion methods.
Birds
Nest in vents and chimneys, block airflow, and can bring parasites.
Opossums
Hide under decks, sheds, and crawlspaces and can bring fleas and ticks.
Groundhogs
Dig burrows that can undermine patios, porches, and foundations.
Den under sheds and decks. We provide professional skunk removal with careful prevention steps.
Other Small Animals
We also help with issues involving chipmunks and snakes, depending on the situation.
Local Wildlife Patterns We See
Wildlife behavior changes throughout the year in New Jersey, and different parts of Monmouth County can create different wildlife risks.
Common patterns include:
- Colder-month attic and crawlspace activity
- Spring and early summer nesting, sometimes with young present
- Chimney and vent intrusions in older homes
- Under-deck nesting near trees, open space, or water
- Access points around shore-area homes, wooded properties, and homes near the Navesink or Shrewsbury River corridors
These patterns help determine where we inspect first and what prevention steps may be needed.
Our Process for Safe and Effective Wildlife Removal
We follow a clear process so you know what was found, what needs to happen next, and what it may take to keep the problem from coming back.
-
Detailed Home Inspection
We inspect likely problem areas, including rooflines, soffits, vents, chimneys, crawlspaces, decks, garages, and attic spaces. We look for entry points, nesting areas, droppings, damage, and other signs of activity.
-
Clear Estimate and Recommended Scope
Your estimate is based on the species, entry points, contamination level, and any repair or cleanup needs. You will know what needs to be removed, sealed, repaired, or cleaned before work begins.
-
Removal and Compliance
Removal methods depend on the animal, nesting location, season, and New Jersey guidelines. For protected species like bats, we follow seasonal exclusion rules and safe removal practices.
-
Exclusion, Repairs, and Prevention
After identifying how animals are getting in, we close access points and reinforce vulnerable areas. This can include roofline gaps, soffit openings, loose vent covers, crawlspaces, chimneys, and deck or shed spaces.
-
Cleanup and Restoration When Needed
If droppings, nesting material, odor, or damaged insulation are present, we recommend cleanup and restoration steps to help return the space to safer condition.

Still Wondering What Is Getting Into Your Home?
What animal is making noise in my attic at night?
Nighttime attic noise is often linked to raccoons, bats, flying squirrels, or other small animals. The timing, sound, droppings, and entry point help identify what may be inside.
What should I do if there may be baby animals inside?
Do not block the opening or try to remove them yourself. Young animals can change the safest removal approach and timing.
Can repellents or store-bought deterrents solve the problem?
They may reduce activity for a short time, but they usually do not fix the entry point. If animals can still get in, the problem can return.
Do I need cleanup if the animal already left?
Possibly. Droppings, urine, nesting material, and odor can remain after the animal is gone and may need professional cleanup.
Can animals get into a home through a chimney?
Yes. Raccoons, birds, bats, and squirrels can use uncapped or damaged chimneys, especially when screens or caps are missing.
Do Not Let the Same Wildlife Problem Come Back
A wildlife issue is stressful enough without guessing what comes next. Get a clear plan to remove the animal, close the access points, and protect the vulnerable areas wildlife already found.
