Wildlife Removal Before & After Photos

After her daughter spotted a groundhog running across the yard and then going underneath the shed, this homeowner in Allenwood, NJ, called our Nuisance Wildlife Division for help. In order to safely retrieve the groundhog, we installed Dig Defense® around the entire perimeter of the shed except for one area, which was the main burrow. Dig Defense® is a below-ground fence system that is 15 inches deep, 4 feet across, and protects structures against invasive nuisance wildlife and feral animals.

Afterward, we installed a positive set over the main burrow. A positive set is comprised of a nose cone that is attached to a two-gaited, heavy-duty device. It's called a positive set, because we are positive that the groundhog will enter our device. Once we safely retrieve the groundhog, we will relocate it to a new, humane location, fill in the burrow, and install another portion of Dig Defense® over the main burrow.

A new customer in Brick, NJ, called our Nuisance Wildlife division needing help to remove a squirrel in his attic. Once we arrived and inspected the exterior of the home, we determined that the squirrel was entering the attic via the weathered gable vent. 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.

In order to safely retrieve the squirrel, we installed a one-way device over the main access point and temporarily enclosed it with hardware cloth. We also installed several baited devices nearby. The one-way is designed to allow the squirrel to safely leave the attic area, but prevent them from getting back in. A short while later, we successfully retrieved the squirrels and relocated them to a new, humane location. 

Afterward, we disinfected the attic area, removed the broken gable vent and replaced it with a louvered vent guard. 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. Now the home is properly protected from not just squirrels, but all nuisance wildlife and pests!

This customer in Brick, NJ had a squirrel tear a hole in his roof and make its way into the attic. A short while ago, we safely retrieved the squirrel from the home and took it to a new, humane location. All that's left is to repair the hole in the roof!

The first thing we did was disinfect the entire attic. Next, we fashioned a piece of sturdy metal flashing and then installed it over the access point. Afterward, we applied a premium adhesive to the area and spread it across the flashing. Lastly, we applied roof grit to the flashing to blend it in with the color of the roof. Now the damages are repaired and the squirrel is properly removed from the property.

Now that we safely and successfully removed all the squirrels from this home in Brick, NJ, we're now going to repair the damage they inflicted to the soffit. First, we disinfected the entire attic area. Afterward, we then measured a piece of sturdy, metal flashing and cut it to the shape and length of the damaged area. Lastly, we installed the metal flashing over the damaged soffit area to cover and protect the home from pests and nuisance wildlife.

Previously, this customer in Brick, NJ had bats in her attic. They were able to get into that area by squeezing through the gable vents. After installing our retrieval devices, we safely removed all the bats from the property.

After removing all the bat guano out of the attic and disinfecting the area, we removed the old gable vents (since they were damaged) and replaced them with a louvered vent guard. A louvered vent guard 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! The best part is that it properly secures the gable vents from any future intrusions from bats, birds, pests, and all nuisance wildlife!
