All Wildlife Removal Service of New Jersey
explains how we handle Grey Squirrel invasions throughout
Monmouth, Mercer, Middlesex, Ocean, Somerset, and Sussex Counties...
One thing is for sure about working with animals:
we certainly don’t use words like “always” or
“never” because those animals will make a liar
out of you! But most Grey Squirrel cases require
the same type of solution, and All Wildlife
Removal Service is expert at solving squirrel
problems. Our solution, as explained below, is a
common and effective way to get those squirrels
out of your home or business once and for all!
Once we determine that you have a Grey Squirrel problem (see How to Choose a Trust-
Worthy Contractor to learn how we figure out which animal has invaded your property), All
Wildlife Removal Service (or any reputable wildlife removal company) will go about solving
the problem by first setting traps over the opening(s) where the squirrels are getting in. In our
case, we use a spring-loaded multi-catch (repeater) trap – the squirrel pushes on the trap door,
the door opens, the squirrel goes into the trap, and the door closes on the squirrel.
We then set a number of passive traps up on the roof around the opening. (A passive trap -
otherwise known as a "have a heart” or regular box trap – works by enticing animals with bait
placed in the back of the trap. The animal walks in and the trap door closes.) This is done
because squirrels NOT inside the structure when we begin the job won’t be able to get back in
once the original repeater trap is blocking the opening.
This causes them to hang around the opening
getting upset. They will then go into a baited
trap. Once we have the traps set up, we go
around the entire structure sealing up any weak
areas such as: screening gable vents, metaling off
pork chops, ensuring there are no gaps in the
sheathing and fascia board, etc.
We do this for two reasons:
1) Because it leaves no options for squirrels
to get out unless they use the trap;
2) Because it enables us to give you a warranty.
If a contractor strictly seals where the animals are ALREADY getting in and out, you are
paying for an incomplete job. It is imperative to strengthen weak areas, or else squirrels will
return and cause new damage in the future.
(Once you have had a squirrel get into your structure, other squirrels can smell the odor and will
exploit the structure's weak areas. Even 20 years into a squirrel issue, odor will continue to give
you a repeat problem.)
We run traps every day until we stop making catches. (See FAQ to understand how traps are
checked daily.) At that point, if we feel that we have caught all the squirrels, we seal the opening
and the job is done! If we are not sure we’ve caught everything we “mark” the hole by stapling
newspaper over the opening for one day. If the newspaper is pushed (has been moved) at the
end of that 24-hour period, we know we have another squirrel to catch. If the paper hasn't been
moved, we know it’s safe to finish the job, at which point proper repairs are made.
