Wildlife removal in Englewood, NJ is a regular call for us. Englewood sits on the western slope of the Palisades, with mature trees over its streets and the Flat Rock Brook preserve on its east side. Raccoons, squirrels, opossums and skunks live in those woods and come into the attics, garages and crawl spaces next to them. Clearview Pest Control Inc. has an office at 61 W Palisade Ave in Englewood. We remove the animal, seal the way it got in, and clean up after it.
Call 201-706-7437. We answer calls 24/7.

What Englewood customers call us about
These are real jobs from our Englewood Google reviews:
- A raccoon through the roof at midnight. One homeowner heard noise in the attic and called us at midnight. A raccoon had broken through the roof and got inside. We came out and removed it.
- A raccoon in the garage. Keith A. wrote that our technician was there within two hours of the call, fixed the immediate problem, and explained how to keep it from happening again.
- Squirrels in the walls. Karen M. called around before finding us. We found where the squirrels were getting in, explained the work, and solved the problem.
Why Englewood has so much wildlife
- Woods and water. Flat Rock Brook’s preserve covers about 150 acres of woods and wetland. The Palisades slope keeps a wooded strip along the east side of town.
- Mature trees. Large street and yard trees give squirrels and raccoons a bridge straight onto the roof.
- Older houses. Many Englewood homes have aging soffits, slate or shingle roofs, chimneys and detached garages. Each is a possible way in.
- Decks, porches and sheds. Open space under them is where skunks, opossums and groundhogs den.
How we remove wildlife in Englewood
- Inspect the attic, roofline, chimney, garage and ground level. We use cameras when the animal is hidden in a wall or void.
- Check for young. Squirrels have young in late winter and late summer. Raccoons have kits in spring. We never seal a mother out while her young are inside.
- Remove the animal with a one-way door or a trap, depending on the animal and the entry.
- Seal every entry point with heavy-gauge mesh, repaired fascia, secured vents and chimney caps. Mesh skirting goes around decks and sheds.
- Clean up droppings and nesting, disinfect, and replace soiled insulation.
Most jobs take five to seven days from inspection to final repair. See the full process on our wildlife removal page.
Don’t handle a raccoon or skunk yourself
Raccoons and skunks can carry rabies. An animal that seems sick, unsteady or unafraid in daylight should be left alone. Englewood Animal Control handles sick or injured animals and pets. We handle animals living in or under your house.
Frequently asked questions about wildlife removal in Englewood
How fast can you come?
Our Englewood office is on West Palisade Avenue. Call and we give you the first available window. An animal loose in living space gets priority.
Do you cover Englewood Cliffs and nearby towns?
Yes. We also work in Teaneck, Tenafly, Bergenfield and other Bergen County towns. See pest control in Englewood for our other services.
What happens to the animal?
Most animals leave through a one-way door and are kept out. When trapping is needed, we follow New Jersey wildlife rules and tell you what will happen before we start.
Will the animal come back?
Not through a gap we have sealed. Sealing is part of every job. We also point out branches over the roof and open space under decks that make the house easy to reach.
