Pest and Wildlife Problems in Newark, NJ

As one of the most populated cities in the state, Newark, NJ, attracts pests that benefit from human activity. Some, like rats, prefer urban areas with plenty of food and large sewers for easy travel. Others, like Canada geese, starlings, and sparrows, are drawn to the waterways and suburbs.

Bat Roosts

The two most common bat species in Newark, little brown and big brown bats, often roost in buildings. This affects residents when the animals enter attics or garage lofts. While bats are only active at night and seldom seen, they can transmit rabies and other illnesses.

Racoons in Yards

Once the sun sets, New Jersey homeowners may witness raccoons searching lawns for food. These pests frequent gardens to dig for grubs, damaging plants in the process. A raccoon that nests under a porch or shed will also defend itself against pets and people, putting them at risk of injury and disease.

Squirrels in Attics

Newark squirrels prepare for winter by storing food and searching for warm, dry nesting sites. During these months, residents may find a squirrel inside an attic or chimney. In homes, squirrels gnaw on wood and chew on wires, which can lead to costly damage or fires.

Rats in Newark

Often regarded as filthy, rats earn their reputation by hanging around trash, gutters, and drains. City streets provide the pests with shelter and food, though they may move into homes and apartments for even better accommodations. Indoors, a rat leaves its waste in pantries and spreads many diseases.

Problems with Canada Geese

These pests like to gather in Newark parks and yards but are unwelcome for several reasons. First, they feed on grass and have a negative impact on landscaping. The Canada goose also leaves unsightly and corrosive droppings behind. Finally, these birds will chase away anyone they see as a threat to their nests.

Starlings and Sparrows in Yards

Other birds can also cause problems for New Jersey residents. Starlings and sparrows settle in large flocks on lawns, trees, and roofs. These pests disturb residents with their loud calls during the early morning hours. Both types of birds are cavity nesters that may live in crevices on home exteriors or move into vents.
