Cowleys Pest Services Before & After Photos

Recently, we were sent out to an adult community in Pine Beach, NJ to eliminate an active bald-faced hornets nest in the garden area. Bald-faced hornets are social stinging insects that are a close relative to yellow jackets. The surface of their upper midsection almost looks triangular from the side, and they have white markings on their face. They're EXTREMELY aggressive and territorial. They won't hesitate to sting anything or anyone that invades their space.

After equipping our protective bee suit, we found the nest hanging in one of trees. We liberally treated the nest with a knockdown liquid product and a knockdown aerosol application. Both treatments will exterminate the bald-faced hornets quickly. A short while after, we removed the nest, and the branch it was attached to, and disposed of them both properly.

After taking care of a water leak in his crawl space, this homeowner in Lanoka Harbor, NJ contacted our Crawl Space Division to come out and install new insulation throughout the area.

First, we carefully removed all of the items and deteriorated insulation out of the crawl space and disposed of them properly. Next, we disinfected the area and then air sealed all the gaps and cracks in throughout the crawl space. This is going to eliminate air flow between the living space and the crawl space, improving energy efficiency. 

Once we were finished, we installed ComfortTherm® insulation. ComfortTherm® insulation provides excellent temperature and noise control, and comes with a vapor-retarder for use in hot, humid climates. Now the homeowner has a clean, reinsulated crawl space.

This customer in Lanoka Harbor, NJ had squirrels harboring in his chimney. How did he know? He spotted one roaming around his fireplace! Fortunately, it didn't get inside his home. He contacted Little Rascals for help and we were sent out. 

Since the squirrels were getting in via the chimney, we set up a one-way device over the top of it and temporarily enclosed the area off with hardware cloth. We then installed several baited devices nearby. The one-way device will allow the squirrels to leave the chimney safely while also preventing them from getting back in. A short while after setting up our devices, we successfully retrieved all of the squirrels and took them to a safer location.

To prevent any future nuisance wildlife or even bird infestations, we installed a chimney cap. This heavy-duty material is constructed out of 24 Gauge Top and Flange, and 18 Gauge Galvanized Mesh and is designed to prevent access to the chimney from all nuisance wildlife, bats, and birds.

A few squirrels had squeezed through the gable vent of this home in Lanoka Harbor, NJ and were making a huge mess in the attic! Since the spaces in the gable vent were wide and unprotected, this was how the squirrels were able get into the home. A short while after setting up our retrieval devices, we safely retrieved all the squirrels and took them to a new, humane location.

After that we disinfected the attic, went to our trucks, fashioned some Pest-Blok, and installed it over the gable vent. Pest-Blok doesn't restrict the airflow, undergoes a silicone-protected polyester coating process that makes it last longer, and guards the gable vent against squirrels, bats, and all nuisance wildlife. The gable vent is now properly excluded from squirrels. 

After spotting a raccoon roaming around his roof one evening, this client in Lincroft, NJ called Little Rascals for help. As we inspected the roof, we noticed an area of the soffit return that seemed to be damaged, so we took a closer look. Upon closer inspection, we determined that the area wasn't damaged but left unfinished and exposed. We also found raccoon paw prints and hair around the area. We informed the owner who had no idea that the area was left unfinished! 

First, we installed a one-way over the opening and temporarily enclosed it with hardware cloth. We also placed several baited devices nearby. The one-way device is designed to allow the raccoons to safely leave the area but prevent them from getting back in. A short while later we successfully retrieved the raccoons and safely relocated them to a new, humane environment. 

We then fashioned a piece of sturdy, metal flashing and installed over the access point, to prevent any future wildlife intrusions.
