Wildlife Removal Before & After Photos

A new customer in Beachwood, NJ, called Little Rascals after spotting an opossum walking across her yard and going underneath her shed! In order to safely retrieve the opossum, we installed a positive set and then installed Dig Defense® around the entire shed.

A positive set is comprised of a nose cone that is attached to a two-gaited, heavy-duty device. The nose cone will safely guide the opossum into the device. It's called a positive set, because we are positive that the opossum will enter the device. Dig Defense® is a below-ground fence system that is 15 inches deep, 4 feet across, and protects structures against opossums, skunks, groundhogs, and other nuisance wildlife!

In a short amount of time, we successfully retrieved the opossum and relocated it to a humane environment. We then removed our device, filled in the burrow, and installed another portion of Dig Defense®.

This homeowner in Long Beach Island, NJ had a family of squirrels nesting in the exterior shower ceiling of his property. So he called Little Rascals for help and we were sent out. After inspecting the area, we immediately noticed a large opening around the pylon. So we installed a one-way device over that access point, enclosed the area off with hardware cloth temporarily, and then set up several baited devices nearby. The one-way will allow the squirrels to leave the area but prevent them from returning.

After a short period of time, we successfully retrieved the entire family of squirrels and took them to a new, safer location. To prevent any future nuisance wildlife intrusions in this area, we installed sturdy white metal flashing to blend in with the pylon.

A few squirrels had squeezed through the gable vent of this home in Lanoka Harbor, NJ and were making a huge mess in the attic! Since the spaces in the gable vent were wide and unprotected, this was how the squirrels were able get into the home. A short while after setting up our retrieval devices, we safely retrieved all the squirrels and took them to a new, humane location.

After that we disinfected the attic, went to our trucks, fashioned some Pest-Blok, and installed it over the gable vent. Pest-Blok doesn't restrict the airflow, undergoes a silicone-protected polyester coating process that makes it last longer, and guards the gable vent against squirrels, bats, and all nuisance wildlife. The gable vent is now properly excluded from squirrels. 

After spotting a raccoon roaming around his roof one evening, this client in Lincroft, NJ called Little Rascals for help. As we inspected the roof, we noticed an area of the soffit return that seemed to be damaged, so we took a closer look. Upon closer inspection, we determined that the area wasn't damaged but left unfinished and exposed. We also found raccoon paw prints and hair around the area. We informed the owner who had no idea that the area was left unfinished! 

First, we installed a one-way over the opening and temporarily enclosed it with hardware cloth. We also placed several baited devices nearby. The one-way device is designed to allow the raccoons to safely leave the area but prevent them from getting back in. A short while later we successfully retrieved the raccoons and safely relocated them to a new, humane environment. 

We then fashioned a piece of sturdy, metal flashing and installed over the access point, to prevent any future wildlife intrusions. 

After spotting a fox roaming around his property on his Ring camera, this homeowner in Middletown, NJ looked up a reputable and local wildlife company, came across Little Rascals, and scheduled an appointment with us. As we inspected the entire property we discovered that the fox had damaged the lattice underneath the front porch and was hiding underneath that area. We also discovered another area in the back of the home that was damaged by fox.

First, we installed a positive set over the two main access points and temporarily enclosed the areas off with hardware cloth. A positive set is comprised of a nose cone that is attached to a two-gaited, heavy-duty device. The nose cone will safely guide the fox into the device. It's called a positive set, because we are positive that the fox will enter our devices! Sure enough, after a short period of time, we safely retrieved the fox and relocated it to a new, humane environment.

In order to prevent any future intrusions from foxes, or any other nuisance wildlife, we dug a 12 inch deep trench and then installed hardware cloth. The hardware cloth is installed 12 inches deep and 12 inches out from the bottom of the home. This creates a sturdy "L shaped" perimeter that will prevent foxes and other nuisance wildlife from digging and nesting underneath the home.

We also installed a new vinyl lattice and installed more hardware cloth over the lattice. Now the home is secured from any future nuisance wildlife intrusions.
