We’re Jim and Mike Allen, brothers and co-owners of TermiGuard Services and Fenwick Building & Renovation. With our 50+ years of combined experience, we can promise you that you're in good hands. One of the biggest challenges we face as homeowners is finding the right contractor to deal with issues which arise – one who has the requisite knowledge, skills, and experience. A contractor who will answer your calls and then do what they say they’d do, when they said they would. A contractor you can trust, and who will actually give you a no-nonsense warranty on his/her work. We’ve built TermiGuard Services & Fenwick to be effectively different from the rest – embracing and living the principles and values we grew up with – treating people the way we’d want to be treated. And frankly, we’re tired of how so many other companies treat customer service as unimportant and how they take customers for granted. As consumers ourselves, we’ve felt the pain from the evident lack of caring and regard for the concept of old-fashioned, customer-centered service. To that end, we offer you a family of home services including, real estate repairs, pest, termite & wildlife control, water intrusion inspections, mold treatment, waterproofing, structural & foundation repairs, property & water damage restoration, and crawl space encapsulation services – to name just a few… Bottom line – we’re first aid for your home or building, and we’re dedicated to providing you healthier living…

"Their consultant Matt came out to our house the morning we called about a mouse infestation. Matt was knowledgeable, efficient, courteous, and thorough. He gave us a fair estimate of the job required and was able to remedy the situation by the afternoon. We were very grateful that he was able to do this on a timely basis and especially during a holiday week. My husband and I would highly recommend Termiguard. The entire staff was friendly and accommodating to our needs, and we would especially recommend Matt to anyone."

The first steps after invasion in your home is identifying and removing the problem animal. Critter Control of New Jersey specializes in this and will develop a manageable plan of defense to prevent future wildlife problems. The highly trained technicians at Critter Control will find all the entry points wildlife could access and seal those up. Our work is not complete until your home is critter-free! Call us today!

"Just okay. Very responsive in coming out to give me a quote, but I didn't hear from them after the job was sold - I had to call their office three days later to find out when they were coming. I then got a text from the salesman saying they'd be out at the end of the following week, much later than I'd wanted them there since the birds had begun nesting in the soffit again. Also expensive - about $500 for a job that took literally 15 minutes - about $80 of that was for the plastic cap they put over the soffit. Not a lot of companies do birds, though, so I went with this one."

Animal removal services FAQs

DIY animal removal is rarely a good idea and is not advised for many reasons. First, these types of animals can carry diseases and, therefore, pose a health risk to you, your family, and your pets if mishandled. Second, depending on your city or municipality, it may be illegal to remove or handle wildlife yourself. 

Sealing your home against these animals yourself is also a bad idea. Trapping an animal under your house will cause odor and insect problems when it passes away. 

Pest control is not the same as animal removal. Pest control specialists treat for insects and bugs, often by using chemicals. Animal removal specialists try to avoid chemicals if possible and instead work to trap and move the animal that's causing problems. 

Since each expert has their own removal methods, it's best to contact a pest control professional for insects and bugs and an animal control specialist for other animals.

Animal removal specialists specialize in removing critters and wildlife from in and around your home. These include:

  • Bats

  • Birds

  • Groundhogs

  • Moles and voles

  • Opossums

  • Mice and rats

  • Raccoons

  • Skunks

  • Squirrels

The specialist's method to remove these critters will depend on the animal. For example, groundhogs will be live-trapped and relocated, whereas, for birds, the expert will remove and discard the inactive nest and sanitize the area. 

You might be tempted to call your local municipality to remove animals from your property, such as a groundhog burrowing in your yard or raccoons getting into your trash cans. However, they typically only remove domestic animals like dogs and cats from properties, or sick and injured wildlife that pose a public safety risk or health threat, such as a rabid animal. They typically do not capture or remove healthy wildlife.

Animal removal professionals have the tools, knowledge, and skills to trap and remove wild animals adequately and humanely. They also can relocate them correctly.

Professional animal removal costs between $200 and $600 for average homeowners. However, depending on the type and number of critters removed, this cost could range from $85 to $1,400

This cost does not include the cost of home damage caused by the animal, which could be as low as $300 for minor drywall repair or as much as $15,000 for crawl space cleaning and restoration.
