Wind Storm Breaks Soffit and Squirrels Take Advantage in Belmar, NJ
A property manager of an apartment complex in Belmar, NJ called our office after his maintenance team saw a few squirrels coming out of the soffit area of one of his apartment units. He called our Little Rascals Nuisance Wildlife division and we were sent out.
As we inspected the unit, we noticed that the flashing on the soffit was missing. Apparently, there was a big wind storm the other night and this caused the flashing to rip right off! The squirrels saw the opportunity and took full advantage.
Fortunately, the squirrels left the area and were no longer present in the unit. We disinfected the attic area and installed new metal flashing on the soffit. Now the apartment unit is no longer vulnerable to any future squirrel intrusions.
