Squirrels Ruin Weathered Gable Vent in Rocky Hill, NJ
Squirrels had tore a hole right into the gable vent of this home in Rocky Hill, NJ and were taken up residency in the customers attic. Actually, squirrels, and other nuisance wildlife, infesting a home via the gable vents is very common. Over time, the gable vents get weathered and raccoons, squirrels, birds, and bats have no problem ripping away these vents to find shelter inside a home.
Once we set up our retrieval devices, some time later, we retrieved all of the squirrels and took them to a new, humane location. We then disinfected the harborage area, went back to our trucks, and fashioned a louvered gable vent. This material is made out of heavy-duty Galvannealed steel (which means it won't rust) and is customized to accommodate vents of all shapes and sizes! Once we finished, we installed it over the gable vent. Now the area is properly protected from squirrels as well as all nuisance wildlife!
