Challenge

A property manager of a condo association in Jackson, NJ contacted Cowleys after one of her residents spotted a rat near her doorstep. As we began our inspection, we found a ton of rat burrows along the foundation of the condo. Rats create these burrows to travel from their nest to a food source and to escape predators. Rat burrows usually contain a main entrance and 1 or 2 exit holes away from the main entrance. 

Solution

We installed several Ready to Use rodent bait stations near each of the burrows. Next, we installed several snap traps that are inside temper-proof, child resistant boxes near the burrows. Lastly, we scheduled several follow-up visits to monitor the rat infestation, apply any additional treatments, and replenish the bait as needed.
