Wildlife Removal
Cherry Hill, NJ
South Jersey affluence meets serious wildlife — they live here too, and they got here first
Cherry Hill's 74,000 residents enjoy the region's most desirable suburbs — sprawling lots, mature landscaping, and wildlife populations that consider these properties their ancestral homeland
South Jersey's Premier Squirrel Destination
Cherry Hill's tree-lined neighborhoods are squirrel paradise — and we're not talking about the gray squirrels North Jersey deals with. Cherry Hill has heavy populations of both gray and flying squirrels, thanks to mature oak and maple forests throughout the township. Developments like Barclay Farm, Kingston Estates, and Woodcrest were carved from woodlands 50-60 years ago, but those woodlands still surround them. The squirrels didn't leave when the houses went up; they just moved into attics. Flying squirrel colonies of 20-30 animals are common in established neighborhoods, and most homeowners have no idea they're there until the damage is severe.
Why Cherry Hill?
Mature tree coverage throughout established neighborhoods, combined with large lot sizes that maintain natural squirrel habitat directly adjacent to — and overhanging — every roof
Common Wildlife in Cherry Hill
Big Houses, Big Attics, Big Problems
Cherry Hill housing is overwhelmingly single-family detached homes on generous lots — the complete opposite of Camden's row homes just 10 minutes away. These are 1960s-80s colonials, split-levels, and contemporaries with large attic spaces and multiple rooflines. Original soffits, fascia boards, and roof vents are reaching the end of their 40-50 year lifespan right when the trees planted at construction have grown to overhang every roof. It's a perfect storm of failing materials and direct wildlife access.

The Barclay Farm Flying Squirrel Colony
01 The Problem
A homeowner in this established 1960s development heard what she thought were mice in the attic for three winters running. She tried snap traps, poison bait stations, and two different pest control companies. The noise never stopped, and in the third winter, she noticed insulation falling from an attic vent.
Location: Barclay Farm
02 What We Found
Our nighttime inspection revealed 27 flying squirrels. These nocturnal, colonial animals sound exactly like mice to the untrained ear — light scurrying and scratching — but they live in large family groups and are nearly impossible to control with rodent methods. They were entering through a deteriorated gable vent and had been in residence for at least 5 years based on the insulation damage and accumulated waste we found.
03 The Solution
We installed one-way exclusion devices at the gable vent and two secondary entry points we identified, then trapped actively for 4 weeks. The entire colony was removed and all exterior vulnerabilities were sealed with steel mesh that matched the home's aesthetic.
The Result
Zero squirrel activity in two years. The homeowner had spent years on ineffective treatments before our permanent solution. The attic insulation damage would have been far less costly to address five years earlier.
Unique Challenges in Cherry Hill
Mature tree canopy throughout provides squirrel highways to every single roof in established neighborhoods
Flying squirrel colonies are extremely common and are almost always misidentified as mice for years
Large lot sizes mean wildlife doesn't need to travel far between yards — it's all connected habitat
Affluent area means high expectations for aesthetic exterior solutions that don't diminish curb appeal
Original 1960s-70s construction materials all reaching end of life simultaneously across entire developments
Proximity to Cooper River Park and county open space creates constant wildlife pressure from protected areas
