Pests We Treat Before & After Photos

This customer purchased a new property in Neshanic Station, NJ and was planning on renovating it. After returning to the home several weeks after the closing, he was shocked to discover a large yellow jackets nest on one of the living room windows! He had previously used Cowleys for one of his other properties, so he knew exactly who to call for help.

Once we arrived, we equipped our protective bee suit and inspected the area. During our inspection we discovered a crack in the framing of the window, which the yellow jackets used to enter the home. We told the owner and suggested that he replace the window once we're done treating, to which he agreed.

For treatment, we injected a knockdown aerosol application, waited several moments, and then injected a knockdown dusting product. Both of these treatments will exterminate the yellow jackets almost immediately. Once they were eliminated, we removed the nest, disposed of it, cleaned the area, and (as a temporary solution) sealed the crack in the window frame with a premium waterproof adhesive. 

As this customer in Montgomery, NJ was cleaning off his back porch he got attacked by yellow jackets! Luckily he wasn't allergic to them. Since he is a Home Protection Plan customer, he called us up to come out and get rid of these territorial pests.

The first thing we did was inspect the back porch to find out exactly where the yellow jackets were coming from. Minutes into our investigation, we found it! The yellow jackets were emerging from a small opening underneath the deck where the wood meets the siding. We showed the owner and he mentioned that he will close off that opening on his own once we exterminate the yellow jackets.

So we injected a knockdown aerosol product directly into that opening. Shortly after, we then applied a knockdown dusting application. These treatments will quickly eliminate the yellow jackets. Some time later, we removed the nest, disposed of it, and applied a liquid residual to the area. This treatment is going to eliminate any yellow jackets that return to this opening and prevent them from building another nest.

We returned to this commercial property in Lawrence Township, NJ to check on the mice activity. On our first visit, we had installed several rodent bait stations around the exterior and throughout the interior of the building. We're back to see if there was any activity and we're happy to report, there was! The mice had devoured the bait in several of our bait stations. One even had a mice nest inside of it! 

This tells us what areas have the most rodent activity and helps us determine what areas need the most attention. So we're going to replenish the bait in all the bait stations and seal up any and all potential openings that the mice are and may be using to infest the interior of the building. Lastly, we scheduled additional follow up visits to monitor the activity.

Recently, I was sent out on a service call to one of the condominium complexes we service in Somerville, NJ for a mice problem. When I arrived, I inspected the interior of the home and found mice droppings in the laundry room and office. I then inspected the exterior of the unit and, within minutes, I was able to find the entry point! There was a giant gap where the utility wires were leading into the home. 

I carefully cleaned up all the droppings inside the home, stuffed all the openings with chew-proof stainless steel mesh, and then sealed them in place with a premium, waterproof adhesive. Lastly, I placed several Ready-to-Use rodent bait stations throughout the interior and along the exterior of the building. I'll return for several follow-up visits to monitor the rodent infestation and replenish the bait stations as needed.

A new customer in Gladstone, NJ spotted some yellow jackets flying around his master bathroom one morning and immediately called Cowleys for help. When we inspected the bathroom, we noticed a few yellow jackets hovering around the jacuzzi vent. So we opened it and a bunch of angry yellow jackets came flying out! We discovered that they were coming from a small space near the vent duct, so we treated that area with a knockdown aerosol application. We then went outside to check the exhaust vent to the jacuzzi, removed the vent cover, and found an active yellow jackets nest inside!

We treated that area with a knockdown dusting product, which will rapidly exterminate the yellow jackets. After several moments, we removed the nest and disposed of it. We then went back inside and treated the void around the vent duct with the knockdown dusting application.
