🍂 Fall Wildlife Watch: Squirrel
As New Jersey temperatures begin to drop, wildlife often investigates warmer, sheltered spaces. Rooflines, soffits, chimneys and attic vents can become attractive access points.
Squirrels are strong climbers and persistent chewers. Look for gnawed fascia, disturbed roof-edge materials, insulation trails, and daytime scratching. Branches near a roof can provide convenient access, but trimming alone will not fix an existing opening.
Expert tip: A thorough inspection distinguishes the main entry hole from secondary gaps; repairs should follow confirmation that animals and any young have left.
Fall prevention starts with a careful exterior inspection before small gaps become expensive problems.
Silver Bullet Pest Control serves Garfield and surrounding North Jersey communities with wildlife inspection and exclusion services. If you notice recurring activity, request an inspection before attempting to close an opening.
