Cowleys Pest Services Before & After Photos

After spotting some yellow jackets by his backdoor, this homeowner in Pennington, NJ immediately called Cowleys for help and we were sent out. Yellow jackets are aggressive, territorial wasps, with distinctive yellow-and-black coloration, that are known for their propensity to sting anyone and anything that they perceive as a threat, such as those who venture too close to their nests or their food.

When we arrived, we found the nest and realized that it was about the size of a baseball, but the yellow jackets were starting to make it bigger. First, we treated the nest with a knockdown dusting product, which will exterminate the yellow jackets almost immediately. 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 yellow jackets that return to this area as well as prevent them from building another nest.

This homeowner in Pennington, NJ had a bit of a nuisance bird issue - a starling had taken up residency in her exhaust vent and started to build a nest. Fortunately, we were sent out to stop it from completing its' nest. To do that we installed a customized one-way device over the exposed exhaust vent and temporarily enclosed the area with hardware cloth. The one-way is a device that allows the starling to leave an area safely but is designed to prevent it getting back in. After some time had passed, we had safely removed the starling from the property.

We then carefully removed all of the nesting debris and then disinfected the exhaust vent - in order to eliminate any bird mites that may be lingering around. In order to properly exclude the starling, as well as any other nuisance birds, from getting back into the exhaust vent, we installed a DryerWallVent® over it. The DryerWallVent® is made out of heavy-duty galvanized steel and its large opening and angled damper, along with integrated magnets to keep it closed when not in use, provide maximum airflow efficiency for safe venting. 

This business in Lawrenceville, NJ had a large infestation of birds in the building. There were able to get in via several openings around the building. Apparently, the business owner had recently renovated the property and removed several utility pipes and exhaust vents. The only problem was that he forgot to seal them up! So the birds took full advantage and resided in these areas.

For treatment, we carefully removed all the nesting debris and then properly disinfected every single harborage point. Next, we placed sturdy metal flashing over all the holes in the building and painted them to blend in with the color of the exterior.

The owner of this auto shop in Lawrenceville, NJ had a bit of a conundrum. There wasn't any A/C in his shop, so he kept the garage doors open while servicing the vehicles to keep cool. The problem was that pigeons kept flying inside the shop and defecating all over the place. He didn't want to close the doors because it would get too hot in the shop but also didn't want the pigeons to nest in his work area. So he called Bird Solutions by Cowleys and we were sent out. 

First, we carefully removed all of the pigeon nesting debris and then disinfected the areas with a solution that eliminates bird mites. Once that was completed, we installed a roll up screen door made out of bird netting over each one of the garage doors. Bird netting is a 3/4 inch, heavy duty polyethylene bird netting that's used to humanely block the pigeons from entering any unwanted areas. It creates an impenetrable barrier that denies them, as well as all nuisance birds, the access to this area and removes the landing areas for them. Now the workers can keep the doors open and stay cool without worrying about pigeons pooping on them.

A new customer in Lawrenceville, NJ contacted Bird Solutions by Cowleys for some assistance removing the number of starlings that had infested her home. When we arrived we discovered that the starlings were getting into the home by flying right into several old exhaust vents that were either left wide open or badly damaged. A short while after setting up our retrieval devices we were able to safely remove all of the starlings from the property. All that's left was do make sure that they don't get back in!

To accomplish that, first we disinfected each exhaust vent with a solution that eliminates bird mites. Bird mites are parasites that feed on the blood of birds. When birds leave their nests, the mites are left behind without a suitable host for their next blood meal and make their way into a home. What's worse is that are tiny and semi-transparent, which means that they are extremely difficult to detect! After disinfecting the exhaust vents we installed a DryerWallVent® over each one.

The DryerWallVent® is made out of heavy-duty galvanized steel and its large opening and angled damper provide maximum airflow efficiency for safe venting. It's sturdy integrated magnets keep the damper closed when not in use which prevents birds as well as all nuisance wildlife from getting back in the area!
