You hear something scratching in the walls at night. You notice a gap near the drainpipe, a torn soffit vent, and a crack along the foundation you never thought twice about. In East Brunswick, NJ, the mix of wooded neighborhoods, older housing stock, and proximity to parks and green corridors makes homes particularly attractive to mice, rats, squirrels, and other wildlife looking for a warm, sheltered place to nest. Once they’re in, they chew through wiring, contaminate insulation, and create entry points that invite even more pests. The CDC notes that rodents can spread more than 35 diseases to people directly and indirectly, making a swift, permanent solution essential. The good news is that getting them out and keeping them out is entirely possible with the right approach.

We’re family-owned, licensed, insured, and 5-star rated by the neighbors you share a zip code with. Every exclusion service starts with a free, no-obligation inspection so you understand exactly what’s happening and what it will take to fix it before any work begins.
Our exclusion services cover a wide range of rodent and wildlife situations, including:

- Wildlife exclusion: Preventing squirrels, bats, birds, possums, skunks, and raccoons from re-entering after removal
- Home Exclusion Plans: Customized, comprehensive plans that address your home’s specific vulnerabilities from top to bottom
Signs You May Have a Rodent or Wildlife Problem
Many East Brunswick homeowners don’t realize they have an intrusion until it’s well established. Knowing what to look for can save you from a much bigger problem down the road.
Common warning signs include:
- Scratching or scurrying sounds: Noises inside walls, ceilings, or attic spaces, especially at night
- Droppings: Small dark pellets near food storage areas, cabinets, or along baseboards
- Gnaw marks: Chewed wiring, wood trim, pipes, or food packaging
- Nesting materials: Shredded insulation, paper, or fabric tucked into hidden corners
- Visible entry points: Gaps around vents, pipes, soffits, or along the roofline
- Foul odors: Musty smells from urine, nesting debris, or, in some cases, deceased animals inside wall voids
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth having a professional look before the population inside your home grows or the structural damage compounds.
How We Stop the Problem at the Source
Exclusion is not just about removing what’s already inside. It’s about making sure nothing gets back in.
Comprehensive Sealing of Entry Points
Once our licensed technicians identify the active entry points during your free inspection, we professionally seal up all affected areas. This includes roof returns, plumbing vents, dryer vents, crawlspace vents and doors, crawlspace pipes, gable vents, gutters, soffits, siding, garage doors, foundations, chimneys, and any other holes or cracks that rodents or wildlife can exploit. If pests return to any area we’ve repaired, we fix it at no additional cost. Our exclusion work addresses the entire structure, not just the obvious spots, because rodents are persistent and will find secondary access if even one gap remains open.
Wildlife Removal and Relocation
When live wildlife is present, we handle removal humanely before exclusion work begins. We trap and relocate animals like squirrels, raccoons, bats, birds, possums, and skunks safely and in compliance with applicable handling guidelines. Our wildlife service is guaranteed for one year.
Related Services
If your exclusion inspection turns up signs of a broader infestation or additional pest activity, our team can connect you directly to our residential pest control services or our overwintering pest prevention program, which is particularly relevant for East Brunswick homeowners heading into fall when mice, stink bugs, and other pests seek shelter. We also offer wildlife removal as a standalone service for active intrusions.
