Cape May Wildlife Control & Exclusion
Same-day wildlife inspections in Cape May. We remove the animals and seal your home so they can't come back.
Why Cape May Properties Attract Wildlife
Cape May's coastal location in Cape May County creates a wildlife cocktail that most inland towns don't deal with. Shore properties attract raccoons raiding outdoor trash, squirrels nesting in weathered attics, and occasional bat colonies roosting in unoccupied vacation homes.
Shore property damage gets expensive fast — wildlife combined with salt air and moisture can turn a small problem into a major renovation.
Coastal Property Advisory
Coastal properties in Cape May face accelerated wear from salt air, which corrodes screens, deteriorates caulk, and weakens exterior seals years faster than inland homes. Seasonal vacancies compound the problem — unoccupied shore homes become rodent hotels from September through May. We recommend annual exclusion inspections for all Cape May County coastal properties.

- •Chew marks on wood, wires, or plastic vents
- •Small droppings (like large rice grains)
Damage They Cause
- •Chewed electrical wires (leading cause of attic fires)

How We Remove Wildlife in Cape May
Thorough Inspection
We inspect your entire Cape May property — attic, roof, soffits, crawl spaces, and full exterior. We identify the species, find every entry point, and assess the damage. This inspection is always free.
Humane Removal
Depending on the species, we use Havahart live traps, one-way exclusion devices, or professional snap traps. Every method we use is humane and compliant with New Jersey wildlife regulations. We never use poison — it creates more problems than it solves.
Exclusion & Prevention
Once the animals are out, we permanently seal every entry point with heavy-gauge steel mesh, metal flashing, and commercial-grade sealants. Materials are chosen to withstand the specific animals in Cape May County — raccoons need heavier gauge than mice. This exclusion work is guaranteed for 12 months.
