Cowleys Pest Services Before & After Photos

While treating this property in Colts Neck, NJ, we spotted some bald-faced hornets hovering around the second floor deck. We equipped our protective bee suit and starting approaching the area. That's when we noticed a bald-faced hornets nest peaking out. At first look, it appeared to be small, but once we got closer, we realized that was only a small portion of the nest hanging out! The nest itself was HUGE!

First, we injected a knockdown dusting application into the nest. Shortly after, we injected a knockdown aerosol application. These treatments are designed to eliminate the bald-faced hornets quickly. Moments later, we removed the large nest, disposed of it, and then treated the area with a liquid residual. This residual is going to exterminate any remaining bald-faced hornets that return to this area as well as prevent them, and other stinging insects, from building another nest. 

After our Little Rascals team had safely removed a raccoon that had infested this homeowner attic in Colts Neck, NJ, we're here to remove all of the contaminated insulation and add some new and efficient Trusoft blown-in cellulose insulation.

First, we removed and carefully disposed of all the contaminated insulation and then disinfected the attic. Afterward, we air sealed all the gaps and cracks in the attic, which will eliminate air flow between the living space and the attic. This will greatly improve energy efficiency. For the recessed lights in the attic we installed Tight Shell Can Light Covers over them. These are made out of a fire resistant material and is specifically designed to stop unwanted air leakage through the recessed lights.

We then placed several measuring sticks throughout the attic to ensure that the proper amount of R-value is added to the attic and added over 12 inches of TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation. Not only does this fill the attic to its recommended insulation levels, but TruSoft insulation maximizes home comfort, has the highest Class-1 fire safety rating, is resistant to mold and pests, is eco-friendly, and optimizes energy usage for year-round peace and savings. After adding TruSoft, we installed several SilverGlo™ borders. This will prevent the insulation from overflowing onto the attic floor and makes the attic look more organized.

This homeowner in Colts Neck, NJ had a sparrow nesting in one of his exhaust vents, so he called Bird Solutions for assistance and we were sent out. The first thing we did was carefully remove all of the nesting debris. Afterward, we disinfected the area with a solution that targets 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. Once inside, they take over and start feeding on the family! To make matters worse, bird mites are tiny and semi-transparent, so they are extremely difficult to detect!

Lastly, we removed the damaged exhaust vent and installed a DryerWallVent®. The DryerWallVent® is made out of heavy-duty galvanized steel and its large opening and angled damper provide maximum airflow efficiency for safe venting. Integrated magnets keep the damper closed when not in use, preventing pests, bats, and all nuisance wildlife from infesting the home. 

After noticing a rather large amount of fruit flies infesting his kitchen, this business owner in Beach Haven, NJ called Cowleys for help and we were sent out. As we began inspecting the kitchen, we noticed that several of the floor drains were overflowing with gunk and discarded liquids. As we continued our inspection to the sink room, we found several more dirty floor drains! This is what was contributing to the fruit fly problem!

For treatment, we applied a liquid application to all the floor drains and then scrubbed each one of them out with our scrubbing brush. Afterward, we applied a bio-foam solution into each one of the floor drains. This application removes the organic build-up, odors, and scum in the drains, which the fruit flies breed in. Next, we treated the high infestation areas with a fly bait to control the adult fruit flies that were still flying around and then installed several fruit fly traps.

The attractant in the traps draws the fruit flies close and the bait inside the traps exterminates them within moments of contact. Lastly, we scheduled several follow-up visits to monitor the fruit fly activity and apply any additional treatments if necessary. Before we left, we spoke to the owner and mentioned a couple of sanitation procedures to put in place in order to prevent any future infestations from fruit flies or any other pests.

This homeowner in Long Beach Island, NJ had a family of squirrels nesting in the exterior shower ceiling of his property. So he called Little Rascals for help and we were sent out. After inspecting the area, we immediately noticed a large opening around the pylon. So we installed a one-way device over that access point, enclosed the area off with hardware cloth temporarily, and then set up several baited devices nearby. The one-way will allow the squirrels to leave the area but prevent them from returning.

After a short period of time, we successfully retrieved the entire family of squirrels and took them to a new, safer location. To prevent any future nuisance wildlife intrusions in this area, we installed sturdy white metal flashing to blend in with the pylon.
