When wildlife finds its way into your Paterson, NJ home or business, Critter Control is your trusted local partner for humane and effective animal removal. Serving Paterson and surrounding areas like Clifton, Passaic, and Wayne, our team specializes in resolving nuisance wildlife issues caused by squirrels, raccoons, bats, opossums, skunks, groundhogs, and more.
Paterson’s diverse landscape—ranging from riverbanks and wooded parks to dense residential blocks—creates an ideal environment for a variety of wildlife. The area’s four-season climate, with cold winters and humid summers, encourages animals to seek warmth and shelter in homes and businesses, especially during extreme weather. Residents frequently encounter issues with squirrels, raccoons, opossums, and rodents, all of which can cause property damage and health concerns if not addressed promptly.
Squirrel Removal in North New Jersey
Squirrels are among the most common nuisance animals in Paterson, often entering homes through roof gaps or vents. They chew on wiring and insulation, increasing fire risks and causing costly damage. Critter Control uses humane exclusion doors and traps to remove squirrels, followed by sealing entry points to prevent re-entry.
Raccoons are notorious for overturning trash cans, nesting in chimneys, and causing structural damage. They can also carry diseases like rabies. Our team conducts thorough inspections, uses humane traps, and repairs any damage to keep raccoons out for good.
Rodent Control in North Jersey
Rats and mice are common in both urban and suburban settings, squeezing through tiny gaps to nest in walls and basements. They contaminate food, chew wires, and multiply rapidly. Critter Control provides comprehensive rodent removal and exclusion services to protect your home.
Bat Removal near you
Bats in Paterson often roost in attics and wall spaces, entering through tiny gaps near the roof. As a protected species in New Jersey, bats must be removed using exclusion devices that allow them to exit but not re-enter. Critter Control ensures compliance with all regulations and provides thorough cleanup of bat guano. You cannot trap or exterminate bats in New Jersey1
Opossums frequently take shelter under decks, porches, and crawlspaces, especially in areas near the Rahway River. While generally non-aggressive, they can create messes and attract other pests. We humanely trap and relocate opossums, then secure your property against future intrusions.
