Some NJ and NYC squirrels prefer living in human homes than in a nest located in a tree. They enter NJ and NYC homes through the roof and often build nests in the ceilings and the walls. The squirrels need to put down a cleaning deposit because they sometimes destroy insulation, chew on electrical wires and bring a collection of ticks and fleas with them.

They make those creepy noises in your ceiling and walls. They often have a family that lives with them which increases the noise and the mess. If you are trying to get rid of a female squirrel from your ceiling make sure you find out if she has baby squirrels living in your home. If you find the holes they enter and exit through, it’s best to seal them off during the day when the squirrels are outside gathering acorns and other delicacies.    

They may seem adorable but don’t try and make a NJ, NYC  squirrel your pet. The National Wildlife Rehabilitation website claims that in almost all situations its illegal to hold a wild animal captive for any length of time.

 Call a NJ, NYC wildlife control specialist if you are having problems with squirrels or other types of wildlife.
