Cowleys Pest Services Before & After Photos

Now that we have removed all the squirrels from this home in Marlboro, NJ and relocated them to a new, humane location, we're back at the property to repair the damage they done. The squirrels had ripped apart the shingles near the gutter to gain access to the attic. After disinfecting the area, we began to repair the damages. First, we cut a piece of sturdy metal flashing and installed it over the opening. Next, we applied roof grit to the flashing to blend it in with the color of the roof. Afterward, we applied a premium adhesive to the area and spread it across the flashing in order to hold the roof grits in place. Now the damages are repaired and the home is free of squirrels!

After seeing our ad on our Facebook page this homeowner in Marlboro, NJ, wanted our Attic Systems team to come out and add new blown-in insulation to his attic. Currently, the homeowner was utilizing the attic as extra storage, so it was filled with old carpets, wood, and broken chairs. With the owners permission, we carefully disposed of all the items he and his wife no longer wanted. We also removed all the old insulation. Afterward, we installed Tight Shell Can Light Covers over the recessed lights in the attic. These are made out of a fire resistant material and is specifically designed to stop unwanted air leakage through the recessed lights. Afterward, we added over 10 inches of TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation.

TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation maximizes home comfort, has the highest Class-1 fire safety rating & is resistant to mold and pests. 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.

Now that we successfully and safely retrieved all the skunks that were harboring underneath this homeowners shed and relocated them to a humane environment, we need to make sure that the skunks, and other nuisance wildlife, don't reinfest that area.

To do this, we dug a 12 inch deep trench and then installed hardware cloth. The hardware cloth is installed 12 inches deep and 12 inches out from the bottom of the shed. This creates a sturdy "L shaped" perimeter that will prevent skunks, and other nuisance wildlife, from digging and nesting underneath the shed.

This customer in Toms River, NJ, had an infestation of yellow jackets in their home. They were actually nesting in a small crack in the siding about 20 feet up from the ground. Previously, our Pest Control division came out and eliminated the yellow jackets, but the issue of the crack in siding needs to be resolved ASAP.

So our Nuisance Wildlife Division came out and installed sturdy metal flashing over the opening and secured it in place. This will not only prevent future intrusions from pests, but also rodents, squirrels, bats, and birds too!

This family in Keyport, NJ, was being terrorized by yellow jackets! They couldn't enjoy spending time outside on the back porch because the yellow jackets were harboring inside a small piece of wood underneath the joist of the deck! Fortunately, her neighbor is a current customer and referred Cowleys and we were sent out to eliminate these aggressive stinging insects. 

After we equipped our protective bee suit, we grabbed our extendable pole, attached a knockdown dusting application to it, and applied it directly into the area where the yellow jackets were harboring. This treatment will exterminate the yellow jackets almost immediately. A short while later, we removed the nest, disposed of it, and then applied a residual application to the area. This product will eliminate any yellow jackets that return to this area as well as prevent them from building another nest.
