Cowleys Pest Services Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Woodbridge, NJ, had a little problem. A woodpecker was confusing the side of his home as a giant tree and was causing some considerable damage to it! So to resolve this, we installed several Intimidator bird flashers around the home. The Intimidator reflects the suns rays as the wind spins it around and gives off Ultra Violet "flashes" (ultra violet is a color that birds can see but humans can not). The woodpeckers will relate the UV flashes as a danger and stay away. This is a humane and effective visual deterrent to prevent the woodpeckers from causing any further damage to the home.

Once that was completed, we stuffed each one of the openings made by the woodpecker with stainless steel mesh, sealed them with waterproof adhesive, and installed metal flashing over the holes. We had offered to paint over the metal flashing so that it blends in better with the home, but the owner was planning on repainting his property anyway and wanted to do that on his own.

This customer in Woodbridge, NJ had a massive mice infestation throughout her crawl space. Previously, our Pest Control technicians came out, installed several rodent bait stations throughout the area, and successfully removed all of the mice out of the home. Now we're here to clean up the massive mess that the mice had left in the crawl space.

There was a large buildup of mice droppings throughout the area and almost all of the insulation was saturated with their urine. First, we carefully removed all of the contaminated insulation as well as the mice droppings. Afterward, we disinfected the entire crawl space with an EPA registered antimicrobial called MAPS 1. This will not only disinfect the crawl space, but also eliminate any and all mold and mildew growth. Afterward, we installed ComfortTherm® Insulation throughout the crawl space. ComfortTherm® Insulation is poly-encapsulated and is ideal for moisture-rich crawl space environments. The insulation also helps to preserve the air quality, reduce energy costs, provide excellent temperature and noise control, and comes with a vapor-retarder for use in hot, humid climates.

Lastly, since the humidity levels in the crawl space were a little high, we installed a commercial grade Sedona dehumidifier. This is a powerful, energy-efficient, commercial-grade dehumidifier that outperforms standard household dehumidifiers by as much as 10 times while using the same amount of energy to run.

This commercial building in Freehold, NJ was having an issue with pesky mice inside their delivery room, so the owner called Cowleys for help. Once we began investigating the area, we immediately noticed the large gap underneath the door that lead outside. This was how the mice were getting into the building!

For treatment, we vacuumed up all the mice dropping and then installed a rodent bait station in the delivery room, the adjacent room, and along the exterior of the building. Next, we installed an Xcluder™ door sweep underneath the delivery room door. The Xcluder™ door sweep is made from a blend of coarse stainless steel and poly fibers to form a highly resilient and impenetrable barrier. Lastly, we scheduled several follow up visits to monitor the infestation and replenish the bait stations as needed.

A new client in Freehold, NJ, was in desperate need of new insulation in his crawl space. A short while ago, a pipe burst, flooding the entire crawl space. The pipe was repaired, but the insulation got saturated. Fortunately, mold hasn't developed yet, but if not treated immediately, it's only a matter of time until it does! 

First, we removed all the contaminated insulation from the crawl space and disposed of it properly. Afterward, we wiped down all the joists and installed ComfortTherm® insulation. ComfortTherm® insulation provides excellent temperature and noise control and comes with a vapor retarder for use in hot, humid climates. Next, we installed SilverGlo™ on the walls of the crawl space. SilverGlo™ is a waterproof foam insulation that seals the walls from outside moisture and humidity.

Lastly, we installed a Sani-Dry Sedona commercial-grade dehumidifier to control the humidity levels in the crawl space. The Sedona directs the extracted water pulled out of the air directly into the sump pump, which will also maintain the humidity levels in the crawl space.

This homeowner in Freehold, NJ, was having an issue with squirrels invaded his attic space, so he contacted Little Rascals Nuisance Wildlife Removal for help. After a thorough inspection, we determined that the squirrels were entering the home via the gable vent. Nuisance wildlife infesting a home via the gable vents is very common. Over time, the gable vents get weathered, and raccoons, squirrels, birds, and bats have no problem ripping away these vents to find shelter inside a home.

To safely remove the squirrels, we temporarily installed hardware cloth over the gable vent and attached a one-way device to it. We also placed several baited devices nearby. The one-way device allows the squirrels to safely exit the area, but prevents them from getting back in. A short while later, we successfully retrieved all the squirrels and relocated them to a new, humane location.

In order to prevent any future intrusions from squirrels, and other nuisance wildlife, from gaining access into the home, we installed Pest-Blok over the gable vent. Pest-Blok doesn't restrict the airflow to the attic, undergoes a silicone-protected polyester coating process that makes it last longer, and guards the home against squirrels, raccoons, and all other nuisance wildlife and birds.
