If you live in Clifton, NJ, or the surrounding Passaic County area, chances are you’ve spotted raccoons in your neighborhood. These masked mammals are intelligent, adaptable, and constantly searching for food and shelter, which makes attics, garages, and crawl spaces common targets.

At Jersey Wyldlife, LLC, we understand how stressful and potentially dangerous a raccoon invasion can be. Raccoons are known to tear apart insulation, chew electrical wiring, and leave behind hazardous waste. Beyond property damage, they can also carry parasites and diseases, including rabies, that put both people and pets at risk.

That’s why we focus on safe, effective raccoon removal methods that protect your home while treating the animals humanely. Our process includes:

Inspection – Identifying entry points and evaluating property damage.

Removal – Utilizing one-way exclusion devices that allow raccoons to leave safely but prevent re-entry.

Exclusion – Sealing vulnerable areas to stop future intrusions.

Cleanup and Sanitation – Removing contaminated insulation, droppings, and other health hazards.

The best long-term defense against raccoons is prevention. Keep garbage bins tightly secured, trim tree branches away from your roofline, and make sure vents and chimneys are properly secured. 

This post is part of our Wildlife Education Series, where we share insights on the habits, risks, and removal strategies for the most common nuisance animals in northern New Jersey.
