Squirrel Removal in Hightstown, NJ
Locally owned, licensed and insured squirrel removal for Hightstown and the rest of Mercer County. Free inspections, honest pricing, plans from $50/month.
Squirrels are fun in the yard and a fire risk in the attic. They chew constantly to keep their teeth down, and in a Hightstown attic that means wiring, insulation and framing. Fuessel Pest provides squirrel removal and exclusion across Hightstown and the rest of Mercer County: humane removal, every entry point sealed, and the nesting material cleaned up so they don’t come back.
We work Stockton Street, the Peddie School neighborhood, the streets around Peddie Lake and every neighborhood in between, and we’re on Route 33 often enough that same-week scheduling is the norm, not the exception.

Squirrel Removal built for Hightstown homes
Hightstown is a small borough of big old houses, the Victorians in the Stockton Street Historic District, the homes around the Peddie School and Peddie Lake, under a canopy of mature trees that reach right to the rooflines. That’s a squirrel highway. Loose slate and shingle edges, gable vents, dormer seams and the gaps where century-old porch roofs meet the main house are the entry points, and once a squirrel is in a Hightstown attic it starts on the wiring. We remove them humanely, seal the entire roofline with chew-resistant materials, and clean out the nesting material so the next one isn’t drawn to the same spot.
How squirrel removal works in Hightstown
Finding every way in, not just the obvious one
The entry point on a Hightstown house is usually at the roofline: a gap where the fascia meets the roof deck, a rotted soffit, an unscreened gable vent, or a dormer joint. We inspect the whole roofline, not just the spot where you heard the noise, and we remove the squirrels with one-way doors or humane trapping, then seal every opening with flashing and hardware cloth.
Breeding season turns one into a nursery
Early spring and late summer are squirrel breeding seasons, and one intruder becomes a family fast. Scratching or rolling sounds overhead around dawn and dusk are the first sign. The sooner we look at a Hightstown attic, the smaller the job.
Prevention that protects the whole house
Once the roofline is closed we look at what gave them access: branches within jumping distance of the roof, an unsecured feeder, gaps in the siding. And because mice use the same openings squirrels do, we recommend the Comprehensive plan afterward so the sealed Hightstown house stays sealed and covered.
Once they're out, keep them out
Rodent coverage is included in our Comprehensive Rodent & Pest Defense Plan, starting at $65/month, with unlimited callbacks. It’s the easiest way to make sure the next scratching in the attic never happens.

Squirrel Removal in Hightstown: common questions
There's scratching in my attic near Stockton Street. Squirrels or raccoons?
Daytime activity, especially at dawn and dusk, with light scurrying is squirrels. Heavy thumping after dark is a raccoon. Either way, the fix is removal plus sealing the roofline, and the older houses in the historic district have plenty of roofline to check.
What does a squirrel in the attic sound like?
Scurrying, scratching or rolling sounds above the ceiling, mostly around dawn and dusk. Raccoons are heavier and nocturnal; bats flutter. If you’re hearing daytime activity in a Hightstown attic, squirrels are the likely answer.
How long does squirrel removal take?
A few days for a single animal, longer for a family that needs trapping and monitoring before the entry points are sealed. We confirm activity has stopped before closing everything up.
