Cowleys Pest Services Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Basking Ridge, NJ, decided it was time to add some much-needed blown-in cellulose insulation to his attic space, so he called our office and our Contracting Team was sent out.

As soon as we arrived, we went right to work! First, we carefully removed all the old fiberglass insulation, cleaned the area, and then added TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation. TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation will reinforce the barrier between the home's attic and other rooms. It has a higher R-value than standard fiberglass insulation, has the highest Class-1 fire safety rating, is resistant to mold and pests, and is eco-friendly! The blanket of insulation will create a thermal barrier and help keep the home more comfortable and efficient — which will lead to year-round savings for the homeowner!

We were sent out to a home in Plainsboro, NJ to safely remove a raccoon that was in the attic. As soon as we arrived, we noticed a portion of the soffit area was ripped apart. As we got closer, we saw raccoon paw prints near the area. This was how the raccoon was able to enter the home!

We installed a one-way device over the access point and installed several baited devices nearby. A one-way device will allow the raccoon to safely exit the home, but prevent it from getting back in. A short while later, we successfully retrieved the raccoon! We then disinfected the attic area and installed sturdy metal flashing over the main access point to prevent any future nuisance wildlife from using the same access point to infest the home. Lastly, we relocated the raccoon to a new, humane environment. 

During a summer treatment service for this Home Protection Plan customer in Plainsboro, NJ we noticed that one of outlets near the deck had an active yellow jackets nest inside it! 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.

In order to rapidly exterminate the yellow jackets, we used a knockdown aerosol application. Once the yellow jackets were eliminated, we removed the nest, disposed of it, and cleaned the area.

This customer in Plainsboro, NJ was tidying up her backyard when she found an active hornets nest on her home! Since she is a Home Protection Plan customer, she called our office and we were sent out. When we arrived, we equipped our protective bee suits and took a look at these stinging insects. Moments into our inspection, we were able to identify them as bald-faced hornets.

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 are EXTREMELY aggressive and will not hesitate to sting anything that invades their space. What makes them even scarier is they have smooth stingers, which means they can sting over and over again, can actually sense vibrations in the air, and remember their invader's face!

For treatment, we injected a knockdown aerosol application, waited a few moments, and then injected a knockdown dusting application. Both of these products will quickly eliminate the bald-faced hornets. After a few moments, we removed the nest and properly disposed of it.

After our wildlife division had safely and humanely removed a raccoon from this homeowners' attic in Franklin Park, NJ, we were sent out to disinfect and reinsulate the attic.

First, we carefully removed all the contaminated fiberglass insulation and then disinfected the entire attic. Next, we added over 10 inches of TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation. 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.
