Raccoon Infests Home in East Brunswick, NJ
A new customer in East Brunswick, NJ contacted our Nuisance Wildlife division after seeing a raccoon come out of her attic! When we arrived, the homeowner showed us where she saw the raccoon, which was right by the soffit at the peak of the home. As we got closer to investigate, we saw that the soffit area was damaged and found raccoon paw prints near the area. This was how to raccoon was able to invade the home.
We temporarily sealed off the access point with hardware cloth and then installed a nose cone that is attached to a Comstock device over it. The nose cone will safely guide the raccoon into the Comstock device. The Comstock is a two-gaited, heavy-duty device that features super-strong coil springs that powers the trap door. The door locks into place which prevents the raccoon from escaping. We also set up several baited devices nearby.
A short while later, we successfully retrieved the raccoon and relocated it to a new, humane environment. We then installed sturdy metal flashing over the access point to prevent reinfestation.

Excluding the Groundhog from the Deck in Green Brook Township, NJ
After spotting a groundhog run across his yard and go underneath the deck in the backyard, this customer in Green Brook Township, NJ called our Nuisance Wildlife Division for help.
After inspecting the back deck, we noticed an exposed area on both sides of the steps that the groundhog was using to harbor underneath the deck. There was also a wide gap on the side of the deck too. First, we installed Pest-Blok on the long side of the deck. Pest-Blok is sturdy material that undergoes a silicone-protected polyester coating process that makes it last longer and guards the area against groundhogs and all other nuisance wildlife. Next, we installed Dig Defense® around the entire deck except for one area. Afterward, we installed a heavy-duty retrieval device over the exposed opening and enclosed it with a portion of Dig Defense® in order to safely retrieve the groundhog.
We also placed a baited device nearby. 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. Once we safely retrieve the groundhog, we will relocate it to a new, humane location and install another portion of Dig Defense® over the opening.
TruSoft Blown-in Cellulose Insulation Installed in South Plainfield, NJ
These homeowners in South Plainfield, NJ had a squirrel infestation in their attic. Fortunately, our Little Rascals team safely retrieved the squirrels, relocated them to a new, humane environment, and properly sealed up their entry point. However, as often happens, the squirrels made a mess of the attic. There were toxic droppings throughout the attic. When these droppings dry out or are otherwise disturbed, particles can become airborne and circulate throughout the home. If breathed in, these microscopic spores can trigger serious respiratory diseases. In addition, as often happens, the sponge-like attic insulation becomes contaminated from animal waste.
So we removed all the old & contaminated insulation and then disinfected the attic. Once we finished, we added TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation! TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation has a higher R-value than standard fiberglass insulation, has the highest Class-1 fire safety rating, is resistant to mold and pests, and is eco-friendly!
