Gable Vent Protected from Squirrels & Raccoons in Freehold, NJ
This homeowner in Freehold, NJ, was having an issue with squirrels invaded his attic space, so he contacted Little Rascals Nuisance Wildlife Removal for help. After a thorough inspection, we determined that the squirrels were entering the home via the gable vent. Nuisance wildlife infesting a home via the gable vents is very common. Over time, the gable vents get weathered, and raccoons, squirrels, birds, and bats have no problem ripping away these vents to find shelter inside a home.
To safely remove the squirrels, we temporarily installed hardware cloth over the gable vent and attached a one-way device to it. We also placed several baited devices nearby. The one-way device allows the squirrels to safely exit the area, but prevents them from getting back in. A short while later, we successfully retrieved all the squirrels and relocated them to a new, humane location.
In order to prevent any future intrusions from squirrels, and other nuisance wildlife, from gaining access into the home, we installed Pest-Blok over the gable vent. Pest-Blok doesn't restrict the airflow to the attic, undergoes a silicone-protected polyester coating process that makes it last longer, and guards the home against squirrels, raccoons, and all other nuisance wildlife and birds.
