West Creek, NJ Pest Control

A property manager of an apartment complex in West Creek, NJ, contacted our office after one of his tenants found several cockroaches in her kitchen. Once we arrived and inspected the apartment, we found a large infestation of cockroaches in the kitchen and in the dining room. Cockroaches are primarily nocturnal, and the fact that we spotted a large number of them during the day means that there is a massive infestation!

We advised the tenant that every single contaminated perishable item must be disposed of carefully. Additionally, anything that isn't nailed down must be removed for an intensive treatment. The tenant did just that and, once she was finished, we treated every single nook and cranny in the pantries, the entire kitchen, and the dining room with a residual application that is combined with an EPA registered insect growth regulator. This treatment affects the cockroaches' reproductive system and prevents them from reaching adulthood.

Next, we applied a knockdown aerosol product to every single crack, crevice, appliance, and baseboard throughout the apartment. This product flushes the cockroaches out of hiding, into the growth regulator, and rapidly exterminates them. Lastly, we placed several monitoring devices throughout the kitchen and dinning room and then scheduled several follow-up visits to apply any additional treatments, if needed, and to monitor the cockroach infestation.

As this new homeowner in West Creek, NJ was remodeling his newly acquired home he came across something that made his heart stop - active termite mud tubes in the laundry room! He heard about Cowleys through his sister-in-law and contacted us for an inspection and treatment. As we inspected the home from top to bottom, we found an infestation of termites not just in the laundry room, but also in the attached garage too! We told the owner what we found and he informed us that he never had a termite inspection conducted to his property before purchasing it. Termites have the ability to chew through wood, flooring, and wallpaper, often without being detected - which is why they're known as "silent destroyers". They usually live entirely out of sight, and by the time they're detected, often the damage has been done.

For an effective treatment, since termites live beneath ground level, we drilled into the slab in the laundry room, garage, and around the perimeter of the home and then injected a liquid termiticide. This application binds to the treated area and creates a protective zone that the termites can't detect. The termites will come in contact with this treatment as they go about their normal routine, bring it back to their nest, and spread it among the colony. In a short amount of time, the termites will be exterminated and the home will be protected from termites for many years to come.

After finding a bed bug in her pillow case, this customer in West Creek, NJ immediately searched for a local pest control company, found Cowleys, and called us for an inspection & treatment. As we inspected the bed room, we found the bed bugs in the pillow cases, the bed frame, and the headboard. We continued inspecting the home and found more bed bugs in a another location - in several electrical outlets in the hallway!

First, we vacuumed up all the live bed bugs and their eggs throughout the bed and the outlets. Next, we treated the mattress, headboard, and the bed frame with a bio-pesticide application. This product creates a barrier that infects and exterminates the bed bugs over a short period of time. Afterward, we treated every outlet throughout the home with a residual dusting product. This treatment will eradicate bed bugs of all life stages, sex, and feeding status within a short amount of time. Lastly, we scheduled several follow-up visits to monitor the infestation and apply any additional treatments if necessary.

Previously, this homeowner in West Creek, NJ had bats infesting his attic. They were able to enter the home via the ridge vent & the attic fan. A short while ago, we successfully and safely removed and relocated all the bats in the attic. To prevent them from getting back in, we installed Ridge-Guard® over the ridge vent and an attic fan cover over the attic fan. Ridge-Guard® secures and reinforces the ridge vent shingles so that bats, and other nuisance wildlife, are unable to enter. The attic fan cover is made out of heavy-duty 18 Gauge expanded Galvannealed steel mesh and excludes all nuisance wildlife from entering the home through the attic fan.

Now the home properly secured from all nuisance wildlife!
