Rodent proofing at Master Attic means finding how squirrels, raccoons, mice or other wildlife are getting into an attic or crawl space, closing that opening for good, and cleaning out what they left behind. In Toms River, New Jersey, that usually starts at the roofline: the tree cover along North Dover, Pleasant Plains and the streets that back up to the Pine Barrens gives squirrels and raccoons a direct route onto a roof, and decades-old soffit and fascia boards on the ranch and Cape Cod houses built through the town's boom years have plenty of gaps to exploit.
Once an animal has a route in, the fix is not bait or poison. We locate every active and abandoned opening, remove any animal still inside using humane methods, then close the opening with materials built to outlast another winter of raccoons testing the same spot. Contaminated insulation in the attic or under-floor space comes out, and the space gets sanitized before we install anything new.
Crawl spaces get the same treatment from the other direction: foundation vents, crawl doors and gaps around utility penetrations are common entries for mice and other small animals, especially where a vented crawl space already lets in Toms River's humid summer air. One no-cost walk-through takes in the roofline above and the crawl space below together, and the estimate that follows is priced against what we actually located there, never a flat rodent-proofing rate.
Six services that come up alongside exclusion work in Toms River's attics and crawl spaces, each starting with the same free inspection.
The four conditions behind most of the rodent calls we get in Toms River, NJ.
North Dover, Pleasant Plains and the blocks nearest the Pine Barrens have enough mature trees that a squirrel or raccoon can cross straight onto a roof without ever setting foot on the ground, and the original soffit boards from the town's ranch-building years give way to a determined animal faster than newer material would.
When a Nor'easter off Barnegat Bay drops temperatures fast, an attic already warmed by escaping household air becomes an attractive place for a raccoon or squirrel to wait out the cold, and that is when we see the heaviest call volume in Toms River.
A dirt-floor crawl space with open foundation vents lets in more than humid shore air. Mice and other small animals follow the same gaps in low-lying sections like Silverton, and a crawl space that already stays damp is exactly the kind of shelter they are looking for.
Droppings, chewed material and nesting debris usually sit inside the insulation long after an animal is gone, in both the attic and the crawl space of an older Toms River ranch, which is why removal and sanitizing follow exclusion instead of getting skipped.
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.
It starts with a full inspection of the attic and crawl space to find where squirrels, raccoons or mice are getting in. Any animal found is removed using humane methods, the entry points get sealed with materials built to hold, and insulation the animals nested in is pulled out and sanitized before anything new goes down.
It depends on how many entry points there are and whether an animal is still inside when we arrive. A single sealed soffit gap with no nesting behind it moves quickly, while a den with young raccoons or heavily contaminated insulation takes longer to clear safely. The schedule for a specific job gets confirmed once we've seen the attic or crawl space in person, and it goes on your written estimate.
JCP&L bills electricity in Toms River, and homeowners here have occasionally tapped New Jersey's Clean Energy Program for insulation rebates. Exclusion work by itself usually doesn't qualify, but when contaminated insulation gets pulled and replaced in the same job, ask your estimator what's currently on offer for that piece of the work.
Not if the opening is sealed with the right material. Raccoons especially will test a patch that is too light or too small, which is why we use material matched to what got through in the first place rather than a quick patch. That is the difference between a repair and an actual seal.
We walk the roofline looking for chewed soffit corners, gaps at the fascia and loose flashing, since that is where most Toms River squirrels and raccoons get in, then look lower at the foundation vents and crawl doors for the smaller gaps mice use. Droppings, staining and worn fur trails usually point straight to the active route.
Often, yes. Insulation that rodents nested in holds droppings and urine that does not clean out, so once the entry points are sealed we recommend removing and replacing it and sanitizing the space underneath. Insulation that was never touched can usually stay right where it is.
We're out in Manchester, Lakewood, Brick and Jackson regularly, and Berkeley Township and Seaside Heights are part of the same coverage area, all within Ocean County. Wildlife pressure from the wooded, tree-lined lots is consistent across this whole stretch, so the exclusion work looks similar town to town.
Less often than the roofline, but yes. A loose crawl space door, a torn vent screen or a gap where a deck or porch meets the foundation gives smaller animals, and occasionally a raccoon, access into a Toms River crawl space, especially in the town's older sections. We check both spaces on every inspection.
Free inspection and a written estimate, no obligation.
