Homeowner Wildlife & Rodent Prevention Checklist

A Professional Guide for New Jersey Homeowners

Wildlife and rodents commonly enter homes through small, hard-to-see openings along the roofline, siding, foundation, and attic areas. In New Jersey, changing seasons, coastal weather, and older construction make homes especially vulnerable to mice, squirrels, raccoons, bats, and other nuisance animals.

At Weinkofsky Wildlife & Rodent Solutions, we created this homeowner awareness checklist to help homeowners recognize early warning signs, reduce wildlife attraction, and understand when professional inspection and exclusion are necessary.

What the Homeowner Checklist Covers

Our homeowner checklist focuses on awareness and habits, not technical sealing or exclusion work.

Key areas include:

• Early warning signs inside and outside the home
• Yard and property habits that reduce wildlife attraction
• Door, window, attic, and garage awareness
• What homeowners should not attempt on their own
• Clear guidance on when to call a professional

This ensures homeowners stay informed without risking improper repairs or trapped animals.
