Bat Inspection in NJ

Bats. They’re one of the most popular pests in popular culture. But while they might famously be a symbol of fear, in a lot of ways, it’s beneficial to have bats in your neighborhood. Believe it or not, bats  actually eat other, smaller pests that are actually more dangerous and destructive than they are. However, they’re still wild animals and it’s not good for you or for them to have them living in your house.

You shouldn’t have to tolerate bats in your home, but thanks to the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife, your pest elimination company can’t get rid of them between the months of May and August and can’t remove brown bats between October 16th and March 31st because bats are protected species. However, that doesn’t mean that you can’t call your pest experts to perform a bat inspection in NJ.


One of the telltale signs that bats are in your house is guano (bat droppings), which look a lot like mouse droppings and collect in piles beneath their roosts. But otherwise it’s difficult to tell for sure if there are simply bats in your neighborhood or bats actually roosting in your home. In such a circumstance, you should call a pest control professional to inspect your home for bats.

It’s important to know that it illegal to remove bats yourself or to poison them. Fly traps and glue traps are a similarly bad idea. Alco Animal and Pest Control has extensive experience performing legal and safe bat inspection in NJ.


If you are concerned that you have bats in your home and you need a professional to find them and, during the right time of year, remove them, call Alco Animal and Pest Control for a bat inspection in NJ at (862)220-5297

Animal Control in Essex County NJ

Animal control in Essex County NJ is a problem that may come up from time to time. If wild animals or wildlife are present on your property, this means nothing about you or your ability to maintain a clean environment. Unlike pests, wild animals often roam the wild and aren't commonly found in a home or commercial building. If they stop, it may be for various reasons: heat, food, or maybe an injury. Never fear, we have the experts to get these animals off your land and back into the wild where they belong. Give us a call today if you're having problems with birds, squirrels, raccoons, bats, skunks, possums, or even larger animals such as fox or bears.

Alco Animal Control uses humane methods to capture and release animals on your property. Our many years of experience and continued learning gives us advanced knowledge about animals in your home or office, why they're there, how they got in, how to get them out, and how to keep them out. Our wild animal control in Essex County NJ promptly removes animals from your location and prevents exposure in the future. We are committed to your satisfaction and safety, so when you see or think you might have a wild animal in your home or building, call us for affordable service delivered without delay.

Squirrels are among the most common animal problem that we encounter in our dwellings. This is because most of the time houses are so close together. Instead of jumping from treetop to treetop, squirrels jump from rooftop to rooftop. Often times they find a roof they enjoy, or some area in close proximity to food, warmth, or another sought after luxury. We have the tools and experience for humane animal control in Essex County NJ, reminding them that the trees are their homes, not your property.

Raccoons are among the smartest of city-dwelling animals. Like many other animals, raccoons adapt alongside their environment. They are completely comfortable living alongside human beings in their homes, under their trash bins, or in the yard or garden area. Again, this is not a statement about your cleanliness. More so, the presence of raccoons is a testament to their intelligence and adaptability.


You may also find yourself with skunks, possums, and other larger animal intruders. No matter the species, you should always call our professionals for affordable animal control in Essex County NJ. Dealing with these animals yourself can be dangerous. More than this, the homemade remedies are not always proven effective against our furry friends. Don't cause damage to yourself, your family, or even to the animals. Call us today and we'll deal with the problem in the best possible manner.

Do you think you have an animal problem? We serve all communities within Essex County New Jersey, including:

Animal Control in NJ

Fortunately, New Jersey experienced a fairly mild 2016 winter and now we anticipate warmer breezes as spring is officially underway. Most picture blossoming flowers and growing trees, chirping birds returning from their southern stay. Some picture squirrels racing through our backyards and up a tree - however we rarely picture them in our homes. Spring is a feast for the eyes, yet an animal loose in our home can yield a shriek from our mouth. When you notice unwanted guests scurrying in your home, call us for professional animal control in NJ.

ALCO Animal Control practices humane methods and features affordable prices. With our years of experience, we understand the animals native to New Jersey, those most known for finding way into houses, how they get in, and how to promptly get them out. Our methods ensure their safe capture and release, while preventing return or guests by other animals. We do more than just trap animals, we give you information about how they get in and why a particular animal might seek shelter (birth, protection, etc.) in your home. When you call ALCO Animal Control for expert animal control in NJ, you'll receive the service and information you need to keep animals out.

So what kind of animals should you look out for this spring? We've compiled a few four-legged friends known to take up space in, or under, your home.

Opossum Control in NJ

Just to get one thing out of the way, opossums are rarely the community nuisance people think of them as. They won't often tip over garbage cans, instead foraging the ground for garbage, fruit, or insects. Additionally, opossums are not aggressive, though they have defense mechanisms that allow them to appear fierce.

With that out of the way, opossums are nocturnal animals and prefer dark spaces. In spring, you might find opossums "denning" under your porch or deck. If you notice a hole under your deck or patio, lightly fill it with leaves or other soft material. An opossum will push this out of the way to regain their entryway, letting you know you have visitors.

If you come close to an opossum, it might start hissing at you. Don't panic! These creatures are afraid of you and, if they become more scared, will simply play dead over showing aggression. Still, do not approach the opossum. Instead, call us for humane animal control in NJ and we'll remove the den without delay.



Raccoon Control in NJ

We made mention earlier that opossums typically won't knock over your garbage can. Usually, raccoons are the culprits. Raccoons will find safety wherever they can get to, and their craftiness can make it difficult to notice their new-found residence. Whether they are in your basement, attic, or elsewhere, raccoons should be left alone if spotted. Instead, call for animal control in NJ immediately.

Raccoons can carry rabies and can become aggressive if provoked. Keep a distance from the creature and call us. We will find their entry point, remove them from your home, and seal the point to prevent future occurrence. 

Squirrel Control in NJ

If there are trees, there are squirrels. The most common native animal to New Jersey, we usually yell at squirrels to get out of the way from our car windows. Squirrels can make their way into the home through various means, including power lines, holes in siding, and your roof. 

If you notice sounds from your walls, attic, or vents, you might have an infestation. You can also tell squirrels are in your home if you see squirrel droppings or notice garden plants are being eaten. When provoked, squirrels can become aggressive, so it is best to leave their removal to professionals.

There are many types of animals whose "spring awakening" can have you thinking you're in a nightmare. We expertly remove the following animals from your property:


Have us perform spring cleaning and remove animals from your property. Our experts have the skills, knowledge, and experience to relieve you of the stress without delay!
