New Jersey's four distinct seasons mean fluctuating wildlife activity. Spring and summer are peak times for animal reproduction and foraging, leading to more encounters. Fall can see animals seeking winter shelter, often in attics and garages. Mild winters mean some species remain active. New Jersey's housing stock, including older homes and densely populated areas, provides ample opportunities for wildlife to find entry points. Understanding these seasonal patterns and common urban wildlife is key. When looking for help, choose a provider familiar with New Jersey's specific wildlife issues and the types of homes found here.
