Bird Control Services Before & After Photos

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 homeowner in Lincroft, NJ, was having an issue with pigeons roosting underneath her solar panels. They were using the solar panels as natural cover and protection from the elements as well as defecating all over the homeowners roof. Pigeon droppings are not only hazardous to your health, but they also eat away almost any substrate, particularly tar-based roofing material. A constant accumulation of pigeon droppings can cut the life expectancy of a roof in half.

First, we carefully removed all the nesting debris underneath the solar panels and then disinfected the area. Next, in order to prevent the pigeons (as well as all nuisance wildlife) from nesting underneath the solar panels, we installed our solar panel exclusion kit around the entire perimeter of the solar panels. This kit creates a physical barrier to keep birds from accessing and nesting in the area beneath the solar arrays, protecting the roof and equipment from damage. With nowhere to nest, the pigeons will no longer be attracted to the home and the solar panels will be protected from further intrusions from all types of birds and nuisance wildlife.

This customer in Brick, NJ had a major problem. Sparrows were roosting throughout his outdoor patio and pooping all over it! Fed up with this problem he contacted Bird Solutions by Cowleys and we were sent out to assist with this bird problem.

First, we safely removed all the nesting debris, took down all of the old hardware cloth that the owner had installed, and disinfected the entire patio with a solution that targets and eliminates 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, so they will make their way into a home and start feeding on the family and pets! What's even scarier is that bird mites are tiny and semi-transparent, so they are extremely difficult to detect!

Lastly, we installed bird netting throughout the patio. In order make sure the bird netting is secured, we're using a stainless steel cable with net spikes and are anchoring it into the walls. We then locked the cables in place using copper ferrules and then installed turnbuckles which tighten the cable. Bird netting is a 3/4 inch, heavy duty polyethylene bird netting that's used to humanely block the sparrows from entering any unwanted areas. It creates an impenetrable barrier that denies the sparrows, as well as all nuisance birds, the access to the patio and removes the landing areas for them.

The sparrows will fly around, realize they can't enter, and move on. We also added a zipper to the area to provide easy access for the owner. As an added bonus, the bird netting is almost invisible, unless you take a real close look at it. Now all nuisance birds will no longer be able to roost in the patio.

This customer in Manasquan, NJ, was suffering from nuisance birds constantly defecating on his roof and damaging it. After several DIY attempts had failed, he realized that he needed a professional, so he called our Bird Solutions Division for help. A major problem with nuisance birds roosting on your home is their prodigious waste. Their thick white glue-like droppings are filled with pathogens and are a nightmare to clean. Their waste can cause property damage and it's acidic enough to disintegrate roofing materials and cause roof leaks!

We determined that the safest and effective method to deter the birds from the roof was to install and secure an Eagle Eye bird deterrent onto the roof. This highly effective optical bird “scarer” can be attached to the peak of a roof or anywhere else that nuisance birds are landing and congregating. As the wind catches the device, it spins and emits an annoying large glare that distracts nuisance birds and limits their vision. The reflected light beams are so uncomfortable that the nuisance birds will divert their flight and head away from the property. Now the nuisance birds problem will be completely eliminated as the birds seek out more hospitable locations where they are not bothered by a blinding light every time they attempt to land!

One day, this homeowner in Brielle, NJ was sitting outside on his driveway, when he noticed several starlings going in and out of a small opening on his property! Since his neighbor had used Cowleys for a similar situation, he got our number from his neighbor, and called us for help. 

Once we arrived, we fully inspected the exterior and interior of his home and determined that this was the only access point that the starlings were using to infest his property. First, we carefully removed all of the nesting debris and then disinfected the area with a solution that targets and exterminates 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 will make their way into a home to feast on your pets and your family. Bird mites are the main reason why extreme care is needed when removing a nest.

After disinfecting the area, we installed Pest-Blok over that access point to prevent any future intrusions from any other nuisance birds or wildlife. Pest-Blok doesn't restrict the airflow to the area, undergoes a silicone-protected polyester coating process that makes it last longer, and guards the area against all nuisance wildlife.
