This is an entry hole that was gnawed away by squirrels in a Sussex County, New Jersey
residence along the basement entry door frame. The customer contacted a handyman to repair
the squirrel damage to the basement door. It is likely that the repairs were performed when a
nesting mother still had juveniles inside. Squirrels are often responsible for a very real danger
of causing residential fires by chewing through the protective casing which surrounds modern
house wiring, exposing the bare copper wires beneath. Garden State Wildlife and Squirrel
Removal will perform an inspection of your property and provide a written course of action to
remove squirrels from an attic, recommend methods of access prevention, and perform all
necessary repairs in-house.

The images to the left were taken in Branchville, NJ. The
squirrels gained access to the roof by overhanging branches
which were contacting the residence. They found a convenient
entry point, safe from the elements and gnawed the vinyl soffit
to claim their nesting site. The Animal Control Officers at
Garden State Wildlife Control set live catch/cage traps along
the roof and soffit to provide humane squirrel trapping.
All traps placed to catch squirrels an a roof are protected
from the elements and direct exposure to the sun, and are
checked at least twice per day. In this situation, the
homeowner committed to check these traps. We responded
promptly, set a second trap to capture the mother and released
the mother and juvenile together.
