Common Wildlife Problems in South Jersey

Cherry Hill’s blend of mature trees, parks like Cooper River Park, and proximity to the Delaware River make it a hotspot for a variety of nuisance wildlife. Whether in Cherry Hill, Haddonfield, Voorhees, or Mount Laurel, animals like squirrels, raccoons, bats, opossums, skunks, and groundhogs can cause problems.

Squirrels are among the most common invaders, especially in neighborhoods with mature trees. They often enter attics through roof gaps or vents, where they chew wiring and insulation, creating fire hazards and costly repairs. Critter Control uses humane exclusion and trapping to remove squirrels and prevent future infestations.
