The Wasps Hanging on the Fascia in Morganville, NJ
Before | After |
---|---|
As this customer in Morganville, NJ, was leaving for work one day, he gazed up at his home and spotted a large wasps nest on the fascia! Since he was a Home Protection Plan customer, he called Cowleys for help and we were sent out.
Since the wasp nest was high up, we grabbed our extendable pole, attached a knockdown aerosol application to it, and then liberally treated the nest. This treatment rapidly exterminates the wasps. A short while later, we removed the nest, disposed of it, and then applied a liquid residual application to this area. This product will eliminate any wasps that return to the area as well as prevent them from building another nest.
Excluding Bats in Morganville, NJ
Before | After |
---|---|
This homeowner in Morganville, NJ had an issue with bats roaming around his attic, so our Nuisance Wildlife Division was sent out and safely removed them from the home. Now that the bats are gone, we need to make sure they don't get back in!
After a thorough examination of the home, we determined that the bats were able to enter the home via the ridge vent & the attic fan. To fix this, we installed Ridge-Guard® and an attic fan cover. Ridge-Guard® secures and reinforces the ridge vent shingles so that bats, flying squirrels, and other nuisance wildlife are unable to enter. The attic fan covers are made out of heavy-duty 18 Gauge expanded Galvannealed steel mesh and prevents all nuisance wildlife from entering the home through the attic fan. Not only is the home properly secured from bats, but all nuisance wildlife too!
Excluding the Squirrels from the Gable Vent in Morganville, NJ
Before | After |
---|---|
This homeowner in Morganville, NJ, had an infestation of squirrels in their attic. After a thorough inspection, we discovered that they were entering the home via the gable vent. Squirrels infesting a home via the gable vents is very common as over time, the gable vents get weathered and squirrels (and other nuisance wildlife) have no problem ripping away these vents to find shelter inside a home. After installing our retrieval devices, in a short amount of time, we successfully and safely retrieved all the squirrels and relocated them to a new, humane location.
Before we left, we removed the broken gable vent, disinfected the attic, and installed a louvered vent guard. This material is made out of heavy-duty Galvannealed steel (which means it won't rust) and is customized to accommodate vents of all shapes and sizes. Now that it is installed, squirrels and other nuisance wildlife will no longer be able to enter the attic through the gable vent.

Morganville Crawl Space Encapsulation Services
One way that pests can make their way into your home is through your crawl space. An unsealed crawl space also lets in moisture, leading to structural damage and mold and mildew growth. Structural damage results in uneven interior floors, which can become hazardous if not resolved. Mold and mildew growth can lead to increased asthma and allergy symptoms for you and your loved ones. Fortunately, Cowleys Pest Services offers a complete crawl space encapsulation system to keep your crawl space and the rest of your home dry, safe, structurally sound, and healthy.
Our crawl space encapsulation products:
- Vapor barriers
- Crawl space access doors

We returned to this home in Morganville, NJ for a follow up visit for fruit flies and as we checked our monitoring devices, we were shocked to find termite swarmers in the devices! As a precaution and at the owners request, we inspected the home from top to bottom to find any evidence of termites inside the home. We did not, but the homeowner wanted to have a termite treatment as a precaution.
For treatment, we drilled around the entire exterior of the property and injected a liquid termiticide. The termiticide binds to the treated area and creates a protective zone that the termites can't detect. The termites will come in contact with the termiticide as they go about their normal routines and transfer it throughout their colony. Now the home is properly protected from any future termite issues.
Bats had infested this home in Morganville, NJ through a small opening in the fascia board. After locating the main access point we sealed off a portion of it, left a small area open, and installed a bat cone over that area. The bat cone allows the bats to safely leave the area but prevents them from getting back in. Once all the bats were safely removed from the home, we installed sturdy metal flashing over the access point to prevent reinfestation.
We also noticed that the attic fans and static vents were potential access points for not just bats, but all nuisance wildlife and birds too. So we installed several attic fan covers over every attic fan and static vent. The attic fan cover is made out of heavy-duty 18 Gauge expanded Galvannealed steel mesh and will not only prevent bats from entering the home, but squirrels, birds, and raccoons too. Now the home is properly protected from nuisance wildlife.
We were sent out to a new customer's home in Morganville, NJ to treat and remove a hornets nest. When we arrived, we found the soccer ball sized nest on the right side of the home underneath the fascia board, about two feet from the daughters bedroom window! What's worse is that the nest was full of angry bald-faced hornets. These insects are EXTREMELY aggressive and will not hesitate to sting anything that invades their space. Their stings carry venom that makes the stings hurt, itch, and swell for about 24 hours. Humans are at the same risk of allergic reactions from bald-faced hornet stings as with other insect stings. What makes them even scarier is they have smooth stingers, which means they can sting over and over again, can actually sense vibrations in the air, and remember their invader's face!
For treatment, we grabbed our extendable pole, attached a knockdown aerosol product to it, and then injected it into the nest. We then waited several moments and treated the nest with a knockdown liquid application. Both of these treatments rapidly exterminate the bald-faced hornets. After a short amount of time we removed the nest, disposed of it, and then treated the area with a residual application to eliminate any returning hornets as well as prevent them from building another nest.
While inspecting a new Home Protection Plan customers home in Morganville, NJ we found several large gaps around a number of utility pipes around the home. We took a closer look at one of them and several angry yellow jackets came flying out!
We quickly equipped our protective bee suit and treated the yellow jackets with a knockdown dusting application. This will rapidly exterminate the stinging insects. After several moments, we removed the nest and disposed of it. Lastly, we stuffed up all the openings with chew-proof metal mesh and sealed them with a premium adhesive.
A new customer in Morganville, NJ was having an issue with mice infesting his attic. We inspected the area and found mouse droppings throughout the insulation. During our inspection, we noticed that there were two gaps in the dormer that the mice were using to infest the attic.
We informed the homeowner, who then contacted a roofer to come out and repair those areas. In the meantime, we carefully cleaned the droppings and installed several rodent bait stations. We will return for several follow-up visits to monitor the infestation and replenish the bait stations as needed.
Recently, I was sent to a home in Morganville, NJ to resolve a troublesome mouse infestation. Upon arrival, I immediately saw that there was a separate, potentially even more serious. The home had extensive clutter. The living space was filled to the point where it was difficult to safely maneuver around the home. While we all like to hold onto things, there comes a point where so-called hoarding can become a disorder when a person has extreme difficulty discarding or parting with some of their possessions, regardless of their value or how much they are actually used. The accumulation of clutter rendered this home’s living space virtually uninhabitable and dangerous to the home’s occupants.
In this case, this homeowner enjoyed finding bargains at flea markets and garage sales. This was a small home without much storage area. It had gotten to the point where the homeowner had to climb over boxes and items, making it challenging and dangerous to move around freely. Not surprisingly, all of the boxes and clutter became a haven for mice. The rodents had virtually unlimited hiding spots and they could move around the home and stay out of sight with ease.
For obvious reasons, I was concerned. I had to convince the homeowner to remove this clutter for reasons beyond the mouse infestation. Fortunately, having an objective third-party telling him that there was a clutter issue was all he needed. He understood that most of these items had to go in order to deal with the mouse problem and make his home safe once again. The homeowner agreed to clear out most of the “stuff,” and for me to return at a later date.
Upon return, there was significantly less clutter and I could effectively treat the rodent infestation. I used bait boxes, snap traps, and glue boards to monitor the level of rodent activity. With the reduced clutter and a rodent control program in place, this mouse infestation will be knocked-down in short order. Finally, I scheduled a follow-up visit to re-assess the level rodent activity and make adjustments to the treatment plan as necessary.
While conducting a routine home protection plan servicing, I discovered staining on the siding of the home. Homeowners are often unaware of infestations outside their home or in non-living areas like crawl spaces and attics. Our periodic residential protection plan inspections often uncover these “hidden” problems, allowing us to get them resolved in their early stages before there is significant property damage.
From past experience, I immediately recognized this type of staining. This home had an active carpenter bee infestation. These large bees resemble bumble bees, except they have shiny black bodies instead of the familiar “fuzzy” look of bumble bees. During the early spring, carpenter bees will start swarming to find mates. After mating, the female will bore a hole into soft wood, making a chamber to lay her eggs. In home exteriors, we often find carpenter bee bore holes in behind facia boards. Because fascia boards are near the roof line and gutters are attached to them, they are prone to water-damage and wood rot, making them attractive nesting locations to carpenter bees and other wood-boring insects (not to mention a favorite of squirrels, raccoons, and other wildlife to gain access to the attic!).
Besides the actual holes, evidence of carpenter bee activity include sawdust piles (called “frass”) and staining nearby the holes from their droppings. Unfortunately, carpenter bees often return every year to the same area of the home because of a pheromone left in the egg chamber. We eliminate these bee infestations for the current year by using either a liquid or dust application.
