Bald-Faced Hornets Setting Up Above the Back Door in Rumson, NJ
We were sent out to the home of a new customer in Rumson, NJ to get rid of some hornets. When we arrived, we found the volleyball-sized nest right above the back door. As we got closer, we identified them as bald-faced hornets.
These nasty stinging insects are aggressive and territorial. So aggressive that if anyone or anything comes within close proximity of their nest, they will attack! What's even worse is that they can actually sense vibrations in the air and remember an invader's face!
For treatment, 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. We then removed the nest, properly disposed of it, and treated the area with a residual product. This will neutralize any bald-faced hornets that return to this area as well as prevent them, and all other stinging insects, from building another nest.
Back to Exclude the Mice from Home in Bradley Beach, NJ
We returned for a follow up visit at this property in Bradley Beach, NJ to check on the mice activity. As we inspected our rodent bait stations that we set up around the exterior and interior of the home, we found that several of them had activity in them. So we replenished each and every single one!
After that, since the mice were able to get into the home by squeezing through several gaps around a number of utility pipes, we began excluding them! First, we stuffed each opening with chew-proof mesh, which mice HATE the taste and feel of. Afterward, we sealed them with a waterproof, premium adhesive. After that, we scheduled several additional follow up visits with the homeowner to comeback and replenish the bait stations until the mice are no longer infesting the property.
Mouse problem in Asbury Park, NJ
Recently, I was called out to an apartment unit in Asbury Park, NJ after the tenants had complained that mice were observed scampering about the living room. Upon arrival, I placed four RTU (“ready-to-use”) bait stations in the corners of the living room so that I could figure out where the mice were coming from based on whether and how much of the bait was taken.These bait stations fit flush against a wall or corner where mice travel and a curious mouse can’t resist entering and exploring. Once inside, the interior baffles lead them to the bait. These bait stations are the safest way to keep mouse-killing product in residential locations away from children and pets.
On my follow-up visit, I observed that two of the four stations had activity. For those two stations, the bait was pretty much gone. So, doing some more investigating for the access points into the apartment, I found a hole under the slats of a radiator behind the hot water pipe. I sealed the hole with a chew-proof copper mesh and rebated the RTUs. Once the mice hiding inside are eliminated, with their entry point closed, this troublesome mouse infestation should be completely resolved in a short amount of time.
Closing Off the Mice Entry Points in Titusville, NJ
This homeowner in Titusville, NJ, had mice infesting his crawl space. After a thorough inspection, we determined that the mice were able to enter the home through the tiny gaps that were around the utility pipes.
First, we carefully cleaned up all the rodent droppings and then installed several rodent bait stations throughout the crawl space and around the exterior of the home. Afterward, we stuffed each opening with chew-proof Xcluder® Fill Fabric. This material will form a firm and tight barrier to keep the mice out. Afterward, we sealed the Xcluder® Fill Fabric in place with a premium, waterproof adhesive. Once we finished, we scheduled several follow up visits to continue to monitor the bait stations and replenish the bait in the bait stations as needed.
Rotted Door Frame Lets Mice Enter the Home in Pennington, NJ
This homeowner in Pennington, NJ was having a mice infestation in her home - particularly in the laundry room. One of our pest control technicians was sent out and had determined that the door frame to the back door was rotten and allowing the mice to squeeze underneath the door and enter the home. He then set up several rodent bait stations and contacted our Little Rascals Nuisance Wildlife division to come out and replace the door frame. So we were sent out to do just that!
First, we removed the old rotten door frame, replaced it, and then installed sturdy metal flashing to prevent the mice from getting into the home this way.
