Rodent proofing in Manchester, New Jersey means finding every place a squirrel, mouse, raccoon or bat is getting into an attic or crawl space and closing it for good, not just chasing out the animals already inside while the opening stays wide open. The Pine Barrens forest that surrounds much of the township puts wildlife within reach of almost any roofline, whether the house is one of Manchester's original 1970s ranches or new construction going up now.
Finding the opening comes before anything else, whether that means a gapped soffit joint on an older ranch roofline or a torn foundation vent screen below grade, and confirming what, if anything, is using it right now. Anything nested inside gets cleared out, the space gets sanitized, and only after that does the seal go in, built to hold rather than serve as a quick patch that works its way loose again.
Every job differs by what has been living there and for how long: a fresh mouse problem in a Renaissance at Manchester attic seals up faster than a raccoon den that has been established in a Crestwood Village roofline for a season. The inspection decides the scope, and the price that follows arrives in writing, tied to what we actually found rather than a flat rodent proofing rate.
Six services that come with sealing wildlife out of a Manchester attic or crawl space, beginning with a free inspection.
The four conditions that bring most Manchester, New Jersey homeowners to call about wildlife in an attic or crawl space.
Ranch rooflines across Crestwood Village, Cedar Glen Lakes and the rest of Manchester's 1970s and 1980s sections were built with soffit joints that have since loosened, and that gap is the most common way squirrels and mice reach the attic.
Manchester's crawl spaces sit over the same sandy Pine Barrens ground that drains fast on the surface but stays close to the water table underneath, so vented openings pull in humid air that draws pests toward the framing above.
The pitch pine cover that gives Manchester its Pine Barrens character also puts raccoons and bats onto rooftops near Whiting and Pine Lake Park about as easily as it does squirrels, and the entry is almost always a gap at the roofline rather than anything at ground level.
Rodent proofing under a Manchester ranch is not only about the roofline. Loose foundation vent screens and warped crawl space doors give mice, and sometimes a raccoon, a second way in below grade, and both get checked as part of one inspection that also covers the attic.
Better insulation. Sealed gaps. Cleaner air. Lower bills.

Master Attic did a phenomenal job with our attic insulation and duct replacement. We had a loss from smoke damage from a neighboring fire and we were met with compassion and excellent customer service from Danny Jones and Jorge Diaz. We chose them for their quality of work, expertise and fair pricing and they got the job done promptly. Thank you for the excellent work and we will be recommending you highly!
We just had our attic insulation replaced, and the entire experience was pleasant from start to finish. Robert is knowledgeable, honest and easy to work with at the initial estimate period. Roberta and his crew did a great job replacing the attic insulation for our house. They were very professional, efficient and respectful. They did everything that needed to be done and left the space clean and in excellent condition. I am very happy that I chose Master Attic and would highly recommend them.
Dan Jones and the Ronald crew did a great job from start to finish! I had original insulation in my attic with no electricity, not an easy job. Our upstairs was very hot in the summer and cold in winter. With having central air, we still needed AC units and space heaters to manage. Dan set up a great plan to eliminate that. He and his crew were able to come and finish the job shortly after we first met. They were quick, clean and managed to crawl into small spaces to remove old insulation and install fresh insulation. We have already noticed a major difference! Highly recommended!!
We hired Master Attic to clean out debris, mice, old insulation, and replace with new insulation in both our attic spaces. Roberto and his crew did a phenomenal job. They were extremely professional, polite, and did a fantastic job. They invited my husband to see the attic after each step, and took pictures on their phone to show me since I could not get up in the attic. They took the time to protect the space with plastic sheeting before the job up in the attic, and then cleaned up everything perfectly afterwards. I highly recommend them!
Great job by the team. Cleaned out the entire attic and replaced all the old insulation with new fresh insulation. Made a huge difference. Alex was great to work with and was very professional. Would highly recommend.
Awesome experience from start to finish. Rob provided a great assessment and capabilities overview, arrived on time and was very generous and thorough in explaining the work. I signed on the spot. A crew of six arrived (again, on time) and completely transformed our attic space - thoroughly cleaned out the old insulation (looked spotless afterwards), sanitized the space, sealed it/rodent proofed it, added baffles and of course, replaced the insulation and added more in areas that needed it. Completed the whole job in half a day and we are delighted with the result. Thank you, Master Attic team, for a job very well done! Highest recommendation.
What a great experience I had with this company and its employees. It started with initially interacting with Joe who came out for the estimate. He was funny because he came down from my attic and said "have you seen up there". I laughed because I had and I knew it was bad. He was no pressure and no nonsense. Gave me an estimate and said if I wanted we could have the work done next day. I wasn't ready for that but after some schedule juggling I told him we could be ready. Joe had his guys out next morning with the best part being Jorge calling me to advise he was about thirty minutes out. I appreciate when I am given a heads up as to ETA. Three of them arrived Jorge set out plastic and covered exposed furniture. Jorge, Angel and Gonzalo were all polite and worked hard to complete the task. They worked efficiently and were done quickly. Jorge made sure he included me in each step of the process and when I saw the finished product I was amazed. I can actually use my attic for storage if I choose to do so. I did not realize when they were here that they also do work on crawlspace areas. I will be calling them back to see what they can do for my crawlspace which easily rivals the diasaster called my attic. I recommend at least giving this company and its employees an opportunity to help you.
Great company to work with. From beginning to end, Dan came out, spent plenty of time with me going over everything that needed to be done, and the process of everything that needed to be updated it both attics. His professionalism was top notch, answered all my question and concerns. When it came time for George and his six-man crew to do the work their quality of workmanship was well above average, they were here the whole day, and I don't think they even had a lunch break (hopefully I don't get him in trouble). They all worked and everyone knew what their job was, they removed all the insulation, cleaned, spray foamed all holes and top plates, re-insulated both attics and cleaned up like they weren't even here. Will definitely use them again.
Master Attic remediated a bat issue for us back in October and I can’t say enough about what a wonderful job they did. The work was guaranteed and they encouraged us to call if we say any further evidence of bats. Well, there were a few droppings in the attic and they quickly responded to our concerns. Jose’s crew came out on a SUNDAY, inspected the attic, and sealed up several spots that could be entry points. They were professional, efficient, and kind. I would highly recommend them. You will not be disappointed.
We walk the roofline and foundation looking for the gaps wildlife is using, most often loosened soffit joints on the township's 1970s and 1980s ranch construction. Once we find them, we seal every opening, clear out anything nested inside and sanitize what is left behind, so the same route does not get used again.
It depends on how much sealing the roofline or foundation needs and how much material has to be cleared out first. A single soffit gap on a ranch roofline closes quickly, while a crawl space with failed vent screens and a season of nesting behind them takes longer. Your specific schedule gets spelled out in the written estimate rather than promised over the phone.
Rebates for insulation and air sealing work have shown up periodically through New Jersey's Clean Energy Program, available to JCP&L customers like most of Manchester Township, though the exclusion work involved in rodent proofing itself is not usually what gets covered. Bring it up during the inspection, since that visit is when we can confirm what is currently active.
Sealing a gap without confirming what might be behind it risks shutting an animal inside, and that usually turns a simple fix into a bigger mess of smell and damage. It is worth having the space checked first so nothing gets closed off until whatever was using it has actually been cleared out.
Every gap gets a look, starting at the roofline and soffits and working down to the foundation vents and crawl doors, since a Manchester ranch can have wildlife using entry points at both levels of the house. We note anything already nested inside as we go, and the written estimate covers sealing every opening we find, not just the one that got noticed first.
Sealing comes first so nothing new can get back in while the space is open, then any nested material and contaminated insulation gets cleared out, and sanitizing finishes the job. If the insulation underneath is still in good shape, it usually just needs to go back down once the attic is sealed and clean.
We work throughout Ocean County from this location, so towns like Jackson and Toms River to the north, Lacey and Plumsted Township to the south, and Berkeley Township along with the borough of Lakehurst right next door are all part of the regular coverage area for rodent proofing and everything else we do.
Yes. The materials used to close soffit and foundation gaps, mainly steel mesh and sealant, are the same kind used across construction generally and are not hazardous once installed. The only real disruption during the visit is the noise and the ladder work outside, not anything inside the living space.
Free inspection and a written estimate, no obligation.
