Ocean County Wildlife Control is a free referral service for homeowners across Ocean County, NJ who need an animal out of the attic, chimney, crawl space or yard. We don’t do the work ourselves. When you call or send a request, we connect you with an independent local nuisance wildlife operator who serves your area, and that pro gives you a price and does the job.
The guides on this site are written and kept up to date by Erin Malloy, our editor. Erin covers squirrels, raccoons, bats, skunks and the other animals that move into shore homes, including New Jersey’s timing rules for bats and what removal usually costs, and checks them against public sources such as New Jersey Division of Fish & Wildlife rules and county health guidance.
Erin Malloy is a pen name. The guides are general information, not a professional inspection or advice for your specific home. For anything structural, electrical, gas or safety-related, have a licensed pro look at it in person.
Whoever you hire, ask for proof of license and insurance where your state requires them, and get the scope and price in writing before work begins. A good pro will be glad to show both.
