Squirrels Use Old Bathroom Vent to Infest Home in Kendall Park, NJ

This homeowner in Kendall Park, NJ kept hearing noises in his upstairs bathroom and was concerned that something was living inside his home, so he called Little Rascals for help. Once we arrived and began inspecting the property, we spotted some squirrels going in and out of a vent on the side of the home. Looks like the homeowner has a squirrel problem. We informed the owner who mentioned that the vent is old and use to connect to the bathroom.

We temporarily enclosed the area with hardware cloth, installed a one-way device in front of the exhaust vent, and set up several baited traps nearby. The one-way will allow the squirrel to safely leave the attic, but prevent them from getting back in. A short while later, we successfully retrieved the squirrels and relocated them to a new, humane location.  Additionally, we disinfected the area and installed a DryerWallVent®. The DryerWallVent® is made out of heavy-duty galvanized steel and its large opening and angled damper provide maximum airflow efficiency for safe venting. Integrated magnets keep the damper closed when not in use, preventing squirrels, birds, and all nuisance wildlife from infesting the home.
