Pests We Treat Before & After Photos

We returned to a home in Pennington, NJ, for a follow up inspection for mice. After we inspected every single one of the bait stations and replenished the bait in each one, it's now time to seal off the entry points. Exactly how were the mice able to infest the home? Through a small gap around a utility pipe. It may seem small, but because they have collapsible rib ages that can flex more than most mammals, all a mouse needs is an opening the width of a pencil!

To properly exclude the home, we stuffed every single gap around the utility pipes on the exterior and interior of the home with Xcluder™ Fill Fabric and then sealed them with a premium, waterproof adhesive. Xcluder™ Fill Fabric is made from a blend of coarse stainless steel and poly fibers to form a highly resilient and impenetrable barrier against rodents and pests. Lastly, we scheduled several additional follow up inspections to replenish the bait in the bait stations and monitor the mice activity throughout and around the home. 

We've returned to this home in Pennington, NJ to check on the mice activity in the crawl space. After were inspected the home and replenished the bait in all the rodent bait stations, it was time to exclude the areas of the property that the mice were using to gain access into the home. What areas were they? They were several gaps around multiple utility pipes around the property.

To properly exclude the mice, we stuffed each opening with Xcluder® Fill Fabric. Mice hate the taste of metal and this will deter them from the areas as well as form a firm and tight barrier to keep the rodents out. Afterward, we sealed the Xcluder® Fill Fabric in place with a premium, waterproof adhesive. Now the home is properly excluded from mice.

After spotting some yellow jackets by his backdoor, this homeowner in Pennington, NJ immediately called Cowleys for help and we were sent out. 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.

When we arrived, we found the nest and realized that it was about the size of a baseball, but the yellow jackets were starting to make it bigger. First, we treated the nest with a knockdown dusting product, which will exterminate the yellow jackets almost immediately. A short while later, we removed the nest, disposed of it, and then applied a liquid residual application to this area. This product will eliminate any yellow jackets that return to this area as well as prevent them from building another nest.

As this homeowner in West Windsor, NJ was removing a few items out of his basement, he was attacked by several yellow jackets! He quickly ran upstairs and called Cowleys. After equipping our protective bee suit, we began inspecting the basement. A few minutes into our investigation, we discovered the yellow jackets nest. It was hidden behind a piece of insulation!

For treatment, we injected a knockdown dusting product, waited several moments, and then injected a knockdown aerosol application directly into the nest. These treatments will neutralize the yellow jackets quickly. A short while after applying the products, we removed the nest, and the piece of insulation that was stuck to it, and disposed of them properly.

Recently, we were sent out to a home in West Windsor, NJ to treat for hornets. We were informed that the nest was located on the bottom of the customers ladder, so that's where we inspected. As we took a closer look at them, we identified them as bald-faced hornets. Bald-faced hornets are social stinging insects that have white markings on their face. They're EXTREMELY aggressive and territorial. So aggressive that if anyone or anything comes within close proximity of their nest, they will attack! What makes them even scarier is they can actually sense vibrations in the air (when you mow your lawn) and remember their invader's face!

First, we injected a knockdown dusting application into the nest, waited a few moments, and then injected a knockdown aerosol application. Both of these applications quickly exterminate the bald-faced hornets. Several moments after applying these products, we removed the nest and disposed of it properly.
