How to Tell If Squirrels Have Invaded Your Home

In South Jersey, gray squirrels are the most common attic invaders, with occasional red and flying squirrels. They are active during the day and often create noise shortly after sunrise and before dusk.

In South Jersey, especially in suburban neighborhoods with mature trees and older roofing across Camden, Burlington, and Gloucester counties, squirrel activity peaks in fall and early spring. Early detection helps limit repair costs. Watch for:

Persistent scratching, scurrying, or thumping sounds
Chewed insulation, wiring, or stored belongings
Droppings in the attic or along beams
Nesting materials like leaves, twigs, or shredded fabric
Strong, musty odors from urine or nesting areas
Gaps or gnaw marks around the roofline (often 1.5–2 inch openings widened by strong incisors)
Daylight or drafts coming through attic openings

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.

Why Squirrels Target Homes Across South Jersey

Squirrels follow predictable nesting cycles. In New Jersey, breeding seasons typically occur in late winter and mid-summer, which increases attic activity during these periods.

Once squirrels find a way in, attics across South Jersey homes quickly become nesting areas due to structure and environment. Common factors include:

Accessible Entry Points in Roofs and Attics

Loose shingles, aging roofs, soffits, ridge vents, attic fan covers, and small gaps give squirrels easy access. They often widen these weak points using their incisors to create a consistent entry path.

Abundant Food Sources Around the Property

Bird feeders, gardens, and unsecured trash bins attract squirrels and keep them active around the property.

Warm, Safe Shelter During Harsh Weather

Attics provide warmth, protection, and a quiet space for nesting, especially during colder months. Without proper sealing, squirrel activity in the attic can become an ongoing issue.

What’s Included in Our Squirrel Removal Service

Our service addresses the full lifecycle of a squirrel infestation, from entry to nesting to prevention.

Our service focuses on resolving the full problem, not just removing animals. Each job includes:

Inspection of attic, roofline, and exterior (identify active vs inactive entry points, rub marks, and nesting areas)
Safe and humane removal methods (live trapping and one way exclusion devices sized for squirrel exit points)
Identification and sealing of entry points (soffits, ridge vents, attic fans, chimney gaps, roof intersections)
Cleanup of affected areas and debris (droppings, nesting material, light contamination)
Repairs to damaged sections of the home (vents, wood, fascia, insulation as needed)
Practical prevention guidance to reduce future issues

Our Squirrel Removal Process

Our process targets how squirrels enter, nest, and return to structures.

Our process focuses on identifying the source, removing the animals, and preventing re entry:

Inspection and Entry Point Identification

We inspect the attic, roofline, and exterior to locate entry points, nesting areas, rub marks, and active movement patterns.
Humane Removal and One Way Exclusion

We use humane trapping and one way exclusion devices positioned at active entry points. These devices allow outward movement but block re entry, which aligns with squirrel travel patterns.
Baby Squirrel Retrieval and Reunification

If young squirrels are present, we remove them carefully and reunite them with the mother outside the structure when possible, following New Jersey wildlife guidelines.
Sealing and Exclusion Work

Entry points are sealed using materials like galvanized steel mesh (hardware cloth), reinforced vent covers, and exterior-grade sealants. Vulnerable areas are reinforced to reduce repeat access.
Cleanup, Sanitization, and Follow Up

We remove droppings and nesting debris, treat affected areas, and provide prevention guidance based on your home’s specific risk points.

What Affects the Cost of Squirrel Removal

Pricing reflects both the number of squirrels and the complexity of entry and nesting behavior.

The cost of squirrel removal in South Jersey depends on several factors:

Number of squirrels inside the home
Location of the infestation such as attic or wall voids
Number and size of entry points
Extent of damage to insulation, wiring, or structure
Level of cleanup and sanitation required
Scope of exclusion and repair work
Need for follow up visits or monitoring

We provide clear estimates after inspection so you understand exactly what is needed.

Still Hearing Noises at Night? Here’s What Homeowners Ask Before Calling

What time of year are squirrels most likely to enter attics in South Jersey?

Squirrel activity increases in late winter and early fall when they are looking for nesting spaces. These seasonal spikes often lead to attic intrusions.

How do squirrels get into a house if there are no visible holes?

They can squeeze through very small gaps and will enlarge weak spots in soffits, vents, and rooflines. Entry points are often hidden or not visible from the ground.

Will squirrels come back after removal if the home is not sealed?

Yes. If entry points are not properly sealed, squirrels can return quickly. Exclusion work is critical to long term prevention.

Can squirrels cause fire hazards in the attic?

Yes. Squirrels frequently chew on electrical wiring, which can lead to exposed wires, short circuits, and increased fire risk inside the home.

Do squirrels return to the same nesting spot each season?

Squirrels often return to the same nesting areas if access remains open, especially during breeding seasons.

Stop the Noise and Damage Before It Gets Worse

Squirrel activity can quickly lead to structural damage and contamination. Acting early reduces repair costs and prevents further intrusion.

Schedule an inspection to identify the issue and stop it before it spreads.
