Builders Gap Allows Flying Squirrels to Infest Home in Point Pleasant Beach, NJ

A new homeowner in Point Pleasant Beach, NJ kept hearing "scurrying noises" in his attic during the day and was afraid that he might have a creature living up there, so he called Little Rascals for help. As soon as we arrived, we starting inspecting the exterior of the home. Moments into our inspection, we noticed an area of the fascia, above the gutters by the builders gap, that appeared to be damaged. As we got closer a flying squirrel flew right out of the opening! Looks like the owner has an infestation of flying squirrels in his home!

First, we installed a one-way device over the opening and enclosed it temporarily with hardware cloth. Next, we set up several baited devices nearby. The one-way is designed to allow the squirrels to leave the area, but prevent them from getting back in. A short while later, we retrieved all the flying squirrels and relocated them to a new, humane location.

Due to the builders gap, the home is still vulnerable to future nuisance wildlife and bird infestations. To solve that, we installed Pest-Blok over the builders gap. Pest-Blok doesn't restrict airflow, undergoes a silicone-protected polyester coating process that makes it last longer, and guards the home against squirrels, pests, birds, and all other nuisance wildlife. Now the home is properly protected from any future nuisance wildlife intrusions.
