Yellow Jackets Take Over Router Box in Sewaren, NJ
We were sent out to a new client in Sewaren, NJ to handle an emergency situation with yellow jackets. The location was at a cell tower and a little while ago, as one of the workers opened the router box, he came face-to-face with a large yellow jacket nest! Unfortunately, he got stung several times and had to be sent to hospital.
The first thing we did was put on our protective bee suit and then injected a knockdown dusting application into the yellow jacket nest. We then waited several moments and also injected a knockdown aerosol product. These two treatments are designed to exterminate the yellow jackets quickly. Several moments later, we removed the nest, disposed of it, and cleaned the area.
The Wasps Hanging on the Fascia in Morganville, NJ
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.
Flying Squirrels Infest Home in Morganville, NJ
After spotting a flying squirrel entering his attic, this homeowner in Morganville, NJ immediately called Little Rascals for help and we were sent out. As we inspected the property, we discovered that the flying squirrels were able to gain access into the home by squeezing through the builders gap. A builder's gap is a gap between the fascia board and roof decking and it's caused when roof decking is stopped too short and isn't flush with the fascia. It's meant to help with airflow to the attic, but nuisance wildlife and pests view this as an open invitation into your property!
To safely retrieve the flying squirrels, we installed a positive set, temporarily enclosed the entire area off with hardware cloth, and set up several baited devices nearby. A positive set is comprised of a nose cone that is attached to a two-gaited, heavy-duty device and the nose cone will safely guide the flying squirrels into the device. It's called a positive set, because we are positive that the squirrels will enter the device.
A short while later, we retrieved the flying squirrels and relocated them to a new, humane and safe environment. We then removed our retrieval devices, disinfected the area, and installed trim coil over the entire length of the builder's gap to prevent any future infestations from squirrels or any other nuisance wildlife.
Replacing an Old & Broken Crawl Space Door in Morganville, NJ
We were sent out to a home in Morganville, NJ to replace the broken crawl space door. The latch to the door was broken and barely hanging on, which lead to a mouse infestation in the crawl space. After our Pest Control technicians had performed a thorough rodent control service and removed the mice, we're going to exclude that area.
In order to accomplish that, we removed the old door and installed an Everlast™ door. An Everlast™ door is made from ½-in.-thick PVC plastic that will never warp, crack, shrink, require maintenance or painting and will prevent any unwanted pests and moisture from entering the crawl space. These covers, which can be installed against wood framing or masonry, close off outside air and moisture from entering the crawl space through the exterior vents. These covers not only work well, but are also aesthetically pleasing!
Installing The Turtl™ in Matawan, NJ
We're at this home in Matawan, NJ to install new crawl space access door. Old-fashioned crawl space access wells are often drafty and leaky, and they can allow pests and feral animals into your home. Over time, these wells will begin to fill with leaves, plants, and debris. The wood will rot, the metal will rust, and when it rains or snows, they'll fill with water, flooding the crawl space.
To solve this problem, we removed the old & rotted crawl space door and replaced it with the Turtl™. The Turtl™ is a durable plastic crawl space access well that provides an airtight cover that serves as a crawl space access well and door combined! The rigid plastic design will hold up to daily wear and tear. Its rigid plastic design ensures that it will never rot, rust, or need paint. For increased security and protection, The Turtl™ can be secured shut with a locking device, like a door. Most importantly, The Turtl™ protects your home from water and moisture damage, keeping your crawl space safe, clean, and dry!
