Pests We Treat Before & After Photos

We were sent out to a new client in Sewaren, NJ to handle an emergency situation with yellow jackets. The location was at a cell tower and a little while ago, as one of the workers opened the router box, he came face-to-face with a large yellow jacket nest! Unfortunately, he got stung several times and had to be sent to hospital.

The first thing we did was put on our protective bee suit and then injected a knockdown dusting application into the yellow jacket nest. We then waited several moments and also injected a knockdown aerosol product. These two treatments are designed to exterminate the yellow jackets quickly. Several moments later, we removed the nest, disposed of it, and cleaned the area.

As this customer in Morganville, NJ, was leaving for work one day, he gazed up at his home and spotted a large wasps nest on the fascia! Since he was a Home Protection Plan customer, he called Cowleys for help and we were sent out.

Since the wasp nest was high up, we grabbed our extendable pole, attached a knockdown aerosol application to it, and then liberally treated the nest. This treatment rapidly exterminates the wasps. 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 wasps that return to the area as well as prevent them from building another nest. 

We're returning to this home in Matawan, NJ to check up on the rodent activity. Previously, this customer had mice infesting his basement. They were able to get into the home by squeezing through several openings around the utility pipes. 

After we replenished the bait in all of our rodent bait stations, we turned our attention to sealing up all and any potential entry points around the property. First, we stuffed all the openings with Xcluder® Fill Fabric. Mice hate the taste of metal and this will deter them away from the area 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.

Once we were all done, the last thing we did was schedule some additional follow up visits to continue to monitor the bait stations and replenish the bait inside them until the mice are no longer infesting the home.

A short while ago, we received a call from a gym owner in Marlboro, NJ, who had reported that several of his customers were getting attacked and stung by a group of hornets as they were entering and exiting the building. Once we arrived and examined the exterior of the building, we located the hornets nest in a tree, about 20 feet up, that was close to the building. We took a closer look at them and identified these stinging insects as bald-faced hornets.

Bald-faced hornets are social stinging insects that have white markings on their face. They're extremely aggressive and will sting anything that invades their space. Their stings carry venom that makes the stings hurt, itch, and swell for about 24 hours. Humans are at the same risk of allergic reactions from bald-faced hornet stings as with other insect stings. What makes them even scarier is they have smooth stingers, which means they can sting over and over again, can actually sense vibrations in the air, and remember their invader's face!

Using our extendable pole, we injected a knockdown aerosol and a knockdown liquid application directly into the hornets nest. These products are designed to exterminate the bald-faced hornets quickly. After several moments had passed, we removed the nest, and the branch it was attached to, and disposed of both of them properly.

This family in Keyport, NJ, was being terrorized by yellow jackets! They couldn't enjoy spending time outside on the back porch because the yellow jackets were harboring inside a small piece of wood underneath the joist of the deck! Fortunately, her neighbor is a current customer and referred Cowleys and we were sent out to eliminate these aggressive stinging insects. 

After we equipped our protective bee suit, we grabbed our extendable pole, attached a knockdown dusting application to it, and applied it directly into the area where the yellow jackets were harboring. This treatment will exterminate the yellow jackets almost immediately. A short while later, we removed the nest, disposed of it, and then applied a residual application to the area. This product will eliminate any yellow jackets that return to this area as well as prevent them from building another nest.
