Squirrel in my Chimney



During the cold winter months it is not uncommon for animals to hole up in someone’s house to warm up. I once had a squirrel in my chimney. Have you? If you are in need of squirrel removal in Bergen County NJ, ALCO NJ Squirrel Control uses only humane methods to remove squirrels or any animal that may be infesting your home or yard.

We offer same day services as well as emergency 24 hour removal services. Squirrels may look cute, but can cause sickness or damage. They can even start fires by chewing through electrical wires. If you have a squirrel in your attic, they may have also brought in ticks or rabies along with them.

If you hear squeaky noises coming from your fireplace, you need squirrel removal in Bergen County NJ. Smoking them out may seem like an easy way to deal with this problem. That is not advised. Squirrels will typically crawl down into the fireplace and not out through the chimney. Now you have roasting squirrels to deal with. ALCO Squirrel Control can remove your chimney squirrels safely and soundly.

ALCO not only removes animals but also has many bug control services. As the winter climates start to fade, insects hatch and can become a nuisance. They also can serve as food for the squirrels living in your chimney. Call ALCO Squirrel Control, and we can remove both animals and bugs from your home in one shot.

So if you have a squirrel in your chimney, it is no problem for our animal control team. For more information on our Bergen County NJ squirrel removing services, call us at 201-261-7566.

Animal Removal in Attic NJ



Your attic is the perfect breeding ground for raccoons and numerous other animals. They are warm (relatively compared to outside anyway). They are dark. And they have the materials necessary to build a nest. If you need any animal removal in your NJ attic, ALCO NJ Animal Control provides animal removal in NJ attics to alleviate your problem while using the most humane methods possible.

Keeping an animal in your attic can be hazardous to your health and your home. Animals such as mice and rats have a history of being disease carriers. The Bubonic plague started was started with rats in the attic. If ALCO NJ Rat Control was around, it would have been known as the Bubonic Slight Nuisance. Even animals that are not known for carrying disease such as squirrels and raccoons can contaminate a home. They leave waste all over which is not sanitary and causes humans to get sick.

Many animals will also chew through wiring to build nests and such. This can cause blackouts and even fires. These are all problems that you do not need. For years, ALCO has been putting an end to these problems. We offer same day service and even have a 24 hour emergency service available. All services are fully guaranteed.

Not only will we remove any small rodents or animals in your attic, but any other animal that is plaguing your property. Coyotes are becoming more of a problem in suburban and rural areas. We can humanely remove them from your property. Maybe a groundhog is eating up your garden. One call to us and it is gone. We also have insect control services available for a wide variety of bugs, including but not limited to:

Bed bugs
Bees
Ants
Mosquitos
Termites

Bed Bug Control Bergen County



Recent studies on bed bugs have shown that Chicago is rated to be the worst city in the US. New York City has slided down the list in recent years to 10th place as their exterminators have been getting the problem under control. What’s not surprising at all is that no city in New Jersey has made the list. This is mainly due to ALCO NJ Insect Control. While other exterminators were busy compiling data and making lists, ALCO was taking care of business by providing bed bug control in Bergen County. Our service is so excellent that New Jersey is not on any bed bug lists.

But they are still a problem. That is why ALCO NJ provides bed bug control in Bergen County. We guarantee to exterminate every single one of the little bloodsuckers. What if you do not have a bed bug infestation? We will remove any insect infestation you may have including but not limited to:

  • Bees
  • Centipedes
  • Fleas 
  • Mosquitos
  • Roaches
  • Spiders
  • Termites

But if you do have bed bugs, their nocturnal nature can make them difficult to spot until you are overrun with. There are some signs that bed bugs leave behind that can be recognized in the day. They may leave some blood stains on sheets. They smell like rotting raspberries. The most common tell is the bite marks they leave. They tend to leave three bite marks in a row.

ALCO NJ Insect Control offers same day services and a 24 hour emergency service. We only use humane methods and are fully guaranteed. For more information on our bed bug control in Bergen County, call 201-261-7566.

Squirrel Removal in Jersey City

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a……squirrel?

Flying squirrels may not live up to their names, but they certainly can cause a lot of trouble. This species of squirrel does not literally fly, as bats and birds would, but rather, flying squirrels glide between trees. If they glide their way into your homes however, Alco Animal and Pest Control is available for squirrel removal in Jersey City, as well as other areas throughout New Jersey.

At Alco Animal and Pest Control, our professionals are experienced in safely and humanely removing all types of pests and animals throughout the state. With our years of experience in the field, we know how to permanently rid your home, business or yard of any pests or animals that may try to make these spaces their home.

You may find yourself needing squirrel removal in Jersey City if flying squirrels are inhabiting any one of these spaces. Flying squirrels are smaller than regular squirrels, and they typically enter attics through small holes. They choose attics because of the insulation that can be found in those areas.

Flying squirrels are a nocturnal species, but there are certainly signs to look for when trying to determine whether or not you have a flying squirrel problem:

- Are you seeing a surplus of acorn or hickory nut shells around the yard? Check them to see what the openings look like. If the openings are circular or ovular, flying squirrels may be the culprit.
- Inspect any larger nuts you may find in your yard. These nuts will have two openings in them or the entire end will be removed.
- Have you found small droppings or urine spots on the ground? These remains can be left by plenty of animals, but if you are finding acorns and hickory nuts in your yard, the probability is more likely that it is from flying squirrels.
- Check for any damage to the structure of your home, wiring or plants. Flying squirrels tend to leave behind damage and will gnaw on plant life, wires and wood.

If you find any of these signs in your home or yard, you should call Alco Animal and Pest Control for squirrel removal in Jersey City. Squirrels are looking to stay out of the cold this winter, and attic spaces are a perfect place for them to stay warm.

Squirrels are dangerous creatures, especially if they are carrying rabies or typhus. Rely on the pest professionals at Alco Animal and Pest Control for all of your same-day and emergency squirrel removal in Jersey City. To find out more information call today at 201-261-7566, and ask about our first-time customer discounts that are available!

Squirrel Removal in Newark, NJ

If you have seen Pixar’s 2009 film, Up, then you definitely remember the dogs in the story and their collective hatred toward squirrels.  It is not made clear why they hate squirrels and it is uncertain whether or not the squirrels even deserve it.  However, one thing is a guarantee.  If squirrels make their way into your attic this winter, you will have to agree with the dogs.  Luckily, ALCO Squirrel Control offers squirrel removal in Newark to help homeowners avoid these problems.

Squirrels may seem harmless, but they can be very dangerous to have inside your house.  Looking to escape the unfavorable conditions of the winter season, squirrels will attack a weak portion in the exterior of your house and use it as a point of entry.  Once inside they will establish a nest and chew on everything, including wiring.  This can knock out your power and even start a fire, in some cases.  Newark squirrel removal is essential to stopping any major damage before it happens.

Not only will they destroy the interior of your attic, but they also carry diseases such as: Lymes disease, rodent plague, and rabies.  If a squirrel were to bite or even touch you, you would most certainly be infected with whatever that squirrel is carrying.  Their droppings can also spread illness and these will be scattered all over your attic.

Any sign of squirrel infestation warrants a call to the professionals.  Put a stop to squirrel infestation in your attic before it is too late.  For more information about squirrel removal in Newark, call ALCO Squirrel Control today at 201-261-7566 to speak with one of our experts.

Woodpecker Removal in New Jersey

Have you ever heard a mysterious sound that drove you crazy?  The sound is a constant tapping that is about to drive you over the edge and then you finally figure it out: woodpeckers.  Although Woody Woodpecker had the potential to annoy others, woodpeckers don’t often enter in the conversation of animal and pest control.  They may be worrisome in a unique way, but woodpeckers still warrant a call to ALCO Woodpecker Control for woodpecker removal in New Jersey.  

There are two different ways woodpeckers can make your life difficult and the first method is by damaging the trees on your property.  When claiming territory, looking for food, or nesting, a woodpecker is forming some sort of hole in the tree.  Nesting is the most damaging, but all of these punctures add up and can shorten the life expectancy of even the strongest trees.  A weak or dead tree is more likely to drop big branches or fall on your house or car.  

The second area affected by woodpeckers is your house.  Food can only be found in trees that provide nourishing insects, but an area to claim territory or nest can be anything made out of wood.  Structure damage can be incurred on any wooden part of your house that the woodpecker can get into with its beak.  Sometimes a spot made of other material such as the chimney can be vulnerable too.

As with any animal control, DIY methods are always an option, but not the best one.  Let the professionals at ALCO Woodpecker Control provide you with a permanent solution instead.  For more information about woodpecker removal in New Jersey, call us today at 201-261-7566 to speak with one of our experts.

NJ Squirrel Removal

In the winter, people want to limit their time outside in the cold and enjoy staying inside for warmth and comfort.  Squirrels have these same desires and will usually do whatever they can to get inside of houses.  Thanks to their clever nature and physical ability, they often succeed and can end up establishing themselves in your attic.  ALCO Animal and Pest Control deals with many cases just like this every year and has the experience to provide effective squirrel removal in New Jersey.

A squirrel inside your home is a squirrel that will inevitably cause damage to your property or your family.  One of their uses for your attic is to build a nest and turn only a few squirrels into a major problem very quickly.  Since their teeth continue to grow, squirrels and other rodents have to chew on things to keep their teeth sharp and worn down.  Some items they may choose to chew on include: wiring, support beams, drywall, insulation, and much more.  This damage can be very costly and lead to further incidental damage if not handled through NJ squirrel removal.

If squirrels are already in your home, it is not safe to try anything on your own.  There are DIY methods that exist for preventing squirrel nesting, but squirrel removal in New Jersey should really be left to professionals.  Squirrels can be carrying diseases that are harmful to human health, one of which is rabies.  A bite, scratch, or any other contact is enough to pass these illnesses on.

Although they may be cute and you might want them to be comfortable this winter, there is no place in the home for squirrels.  If you are seeing signs of squirrels inhabiting your attic, give ALCO Animal and Pest Control a call today at 201-261-7566, for more information on squirrel removal in New Jersey.

Exterminators in Essex County

Walk into a Home Depot, Wal-Mart, Target, or any local grocery store and you will come across a section for pest removal.  In these aisles, you can find standard items such as mouse traps, roach motels, and a multitude of sprays to handle an infestation at your house.  However, if you have ever purchased these things or know someone who has, there is a good chance that the problem was either temporarily solved or not solved at all.  In order to properly remove pests from your home or business, your only real option is to contact exterminators in Essex County.

Mice can usually outsmart traps and even steal the food from them without any repercussions.  Roach motels might kill a group of insects, but the bugs reproduce so quickly that doing anything but attacking the source is not worth your time.  Many of the household sprays you use are not only inhumane, but are dangers to your family’s health as well.  ALCO Animal & Pest Control’s Essex County exterminators employ humane methods of pest removal and safeguard your family from any possible collateral damage.

Our primary plan of attack is to find the source of the infestation, remove the pests from your home, and take preventative steps to avoid any reinfestation in the future.  The professionals we send to your home or business have experience dealing with pests of every kind. If there is any solution to your problem, ALCO Animal & Pest Control is that solution.

Rodents and insects can negatively affect the well-being of your employees and family.  Stop this infestation issue before it leads to bigger problems.  To find out more about our exterminators in Essex County and to receive a free estimate, call us today at 201-261-7566.

A happy employee is a productive employee and there is nothing to be happy about when there are roaches or mice in the workplace.  Your employees will dread coming to work each day knowing that they may find droppings or other evidence of pests near their desks.  Word of mouth is also a threat when those workers go home and tell their friends and families what kind of conditions exist in the office.  These complications can be easily avoided with commercial pest control to keep your workers enthusiastic about their jobs.

There is also the issue of laws and ordinances.  While especially true for establishments serving food, every commercial building is expected to adhere to certain health and safety codes.  Your employees’ feelings will not matter if your business is shut down indefinitely.  If you are in danger of breaking these codes, commercial pest control may be your only option for staying in business.

Squirrel Removal in New Jersey

Anyone who has purchased and set up a bird feeder in their yard knows how frustrating it can be to deal with squirrels.  What is intended to attract different types of birds ends up being emptied within a day or two by the unintended four-legged guests.  Even the feeders designed to prevent squirrel intrusion by catering only to birds often fail as well.  For assistance with squirrel removal in New Jersey, ALCO Animal and Pest Control has the experience to handle these clever, but pesky animals.

You might not have any bird feeders or are not necessarily bothered by squirrels eating from them, but squirrels can be more bothersome than that.  One should really be concerned if squirrels have somehow found their way into an attic or other areas of the home.  Once inside, squirrels will chew on many materials and can cause damage to wiring.  There are home methods that can be used for squirrel removal in New Jersey, but the overwhelming result seems to be that these are temporary solutions.  It is best to choose a permanent solution by trusted experts.

It is important to point out that the squirrels are not hurt by any actions we take.  Every method we employ is effective, but also humane.  Squirrels are a part of the ecosystem and our purpose is to ensure no damage is incurred by you or your family.
