Belle Mead, NJ Pest Control & Rodent Extermination Company

A new customer in Belle Mead, NJ called our Little Rascals Nuisance Wildlife division after her husband found a few squirrels in their attic! So we were so sent out! During our inspection of the exterior of the home, we found their main access point! It's was where the soffit meets the roofline. They tore it apart and made their way into the home.

So we installed a one-way device over the access point, enclosed that area off with hardware cloth temporarily, and setup several baited devices nearby. The one-way will allow the squirrels to exit the area safely but prevent them from getting back in. A short while after setting up our devices, we retrieved all of the squirrels!

We then disinfected the attic, installed sturdy metal flashing over the access point, and took the squirrels to a safer location.

This customer in Belle Mead, NJ, had a rather unique situation with sparrows infesting his home. They were actually able to infest the property by squeezing through a few missing bricks right underneath the fascia. First, we carefully removed all of the nesting debris and then disinfected the area with a solution that targets bird mites. When birds leave their nests, the mites are left behind without a suitable host for their next blood meal. They will enter a home and feed on the blood of humans. Bird mites are the main reason why extreme care is needed when removing a nest. 

We then returned to our trucks, fashioned several pieces of metal flashing, and installed them over the fascia. This will exclude all nuisance birds as well as bats, and all nuisance wildlife from this area!

After getting stung by several angry yellow jackets, this customer in Belle Mead, NJ, contacted Cowleys for help dealing with these aggressive and territorial insects. As we examined the area where the homeowner got stung, which was on the back porch, we noticed several yellow jackets hovering around the soffit area. We took a closer look and found a rather large yellow jackets nest!

First, we injected a knockdown aerosol application. After a few moments went by, we then injected a knockdown dusting application. Both of these treatments rapidly exterminate the yellow jackets. Shortly after we removed the nest, properly disposed of it, and then treated the area with a liquid residual. This application will eliminate any yellow jackets that return to this area as well as prevent them from rebuilding their nest. 

After suffering from a hot and dirty crawl space for years, this customer in Belle Mead, NJ, called our Crawl Space Division to come out and encapsulate his dirt floor crawl space. The issue with dirt floor crawl spaces is that they attract and absorb moisture. Once the dirt dries, it causes humidity levels to rise and can lead to mold and mildew issues. Fortunately, after a thorough inspection of the crawl space, we didn't find any evidence of mold or mildew.

First, we removed all the debris and old insulation, leveled the ground for proper draining, and installed drainage matting. The drainage matting is a dimpled plastic mat that allows all excess moisture to work its way over to the sump pump. Next, we cleaned off all the beams and installed SilverGlo™ on the walls of the crawl space. SilverGlo™ is a waterproof foam insulation that seals the walls from outside moisture and humidity. Afterward, we installed a vapor barrier.

A vapor barrier is a heavy-duty, 20-mil 7-ply sandwich of high and low-density polyethylene with a polyester-cord reinforcement. The vapor barrier is extremely durable and is treated with an antimicrobial to prevent mold. By encapsulating the crawl space & installing the vapor barrier over the foundation walls and floor will create a continuous air and moisture barrier. Lastly, we installed a Sani-Dry Sedona commercial-grade dehumidifier. The Sedona directs the extracted water pulled out of the air directly into the sump pump and will control the humidity levels in the crawl space.
