Sometimes when the cats are found in the attic of an apartment building, the problem is that they are climbing up on nearby trees and entering in the attic using a roof duct. In such a case, the ducts should be sealed and a one-way exclusion door can be set. This means that the cat will be able to go out but will not have the chance to re-enter. The trap can also be set on the roof and it can be baited using cat food.

In order to keep the Bergen County cats out, you should use chicken wire or a hardware cloth over any other opening. If the cats enter into your attic, they will urinate there.
