Wildlife Removal Before & After Photos

A couple of flying squirrels had chewed through the bottom of the roof vent to gain access into this apartment in Pennington, NJ. As you can see from the pictures, the did quite the damage. First, we installed a one-way device over the access point (the roof vent), temporarily enclosed the area off with hardware cloth, and set up several baited devices. The one-way will allow the flying squirrels to safely leave the area but prevent them from getting back in the same way.

In a short amount of time, we successfully retrieved all the flying squirrels! We then removed our devices, installed sturdy metal flashing over the access point, and relocated the flying squirrels to a new, safer environment. 

This homeowner in Neshanic Station, NJ had a problem with both nuisance birds and bats roosting in her attic. How where they getting in exactly? The fascia board had rotted and was falling apart.

First, we safely removed all the bird nesting debris and the bat guano in the attic. Afterward, we disinfected the entire attic with a solution that targets bird mites. Bird mites are parasites that feed on the blood of birds. When birds leave their nests, the mites are left behind without a suitable host for their next blood meal. They will make their way into a home, and once inside they will take over, climbing all over your walls, ceilings, and beddings. To make matters worse, bird mites are tiny and semi-transparent, so they are extremely difficult to detect.  Bird mites are the main reason why extreme care is needed when removing a nest. The last thing you want to do is disrupt the mites that are crawling in and around the nesting material.

Lastly, to prevent any future wildlife intrusions, we installed sturdy, metal flashing over the entire fascia board.

This customer in Trenton, NJ had a big problem. A groundhog was moving across her yard, eating her vegetables, and then hiding underneath the shed! Fed up, the owner called Little Rascals and we were sent out.

We located the groundhogs burrow, installed a positive set over it, and temporarily enclosed the area off with hardware cloth. A positive set is a retrieval device that's comprised of a nose cone which is attached to a two-gaited, heavy-duty device. The nose cone safely guides the groundhog into the heavy-duty device. We call it a positive set, because we are positive that the groundhog will enter the device. Sure enough, it did and we transported the groundhog to a humane location.

To prevent any other nuisance wildlife from harboring underneath the shed, we installed Dig Defense®. Dig Defense® is a below-ground fence system that is 15 inches deep, 4 feet across, and prevents nuisance wildlife from digging and infiltrating underneath an area.

This customer in Montgomery, NJ frantically called Little Rascals after spotting a raccoon entering his home through the gable vent! Once we arrived, we installed a one-way device over the main access point and enclosed the area, temporarily, with hardware cloth. The one way device is designed to allow the raccoon to leave the area, but prevent it from returning the same way. We also installed several baited devices nearby.

A short while later, we safely retrieved the raccoon! We relocated it to a new, humane environment and then focused our attention to the gable vent. Other raccoons, and nuisance wildlife, can still enter the home via the gable vent and cause some serious damage to the attic. To prevent this, we installed a louvered vent guard. The louvered vent guard is made out of heavy-duty Galvannealed steel (which means it won't rust) and is customized to accommodate vents of all shapes and sizes. Now the gable vent is properly protected from raccoons and all other nuisance wildlife!

A short while ago, Little Rascals safely and successfully removed several squirrels from the attic of this home in Peapack,NJ. Now all that's left is to disinfect the area and prevent the squirrels from getting back into the home. Since the squirrels were using the gable vent to infest the attic, we installed Pest-Blok over it. Pest-Blok doesn't restrict the airflow to the attic, undergoes a silicone-protected polyester coating process that makes it last longer, and guards the home against squirrels, bats, birds, and all other nuisance wildlife.
