Fixing a Couple of Damaged Gable Vents in Branchburg, NJ
Previously, a raccoon had broken into this homeowners attic via the gable vent. Each of the gable vents were dry rotted, which made it easier for the raccoon to break into the home. After we safely removed and relocated the raccoon to a new, humane environment, we disinfected the attic area and removed the old, broken gable vents and replaced them with a new, sturdy one and screened them off to prevent any nuisance wildlife from gaining access into the home.
Now the home is properly protected from all nuisance wildlife!
Stopping Future Flying Squirrel Infestations in Gladstone, NJ
Flying squirrels had made their way into this home in Gladstone, NJ and were making a mess in the customer's attic. After a thorough inspection of the home, we determined that the flying squirrels were squeezing through the eave of the home. We setup a one-way device over the entrance point, temporarily enclosed the area with hardware cloth, and installed several baited devices. The one-way device is going to allow the flying squirrels to leave the area safely but prevent them from getting back in. After a short period of time, we successfully retrieved all of the flying squirrels and took them to a safer and more humane environment.
We then disinfected the attic and, to prevent any future wildlife intrusions, we installed sturdy, metal flashing over the access point.
Excluding the Gable Vents from Bats in Skillman, NJ
Several bats were entering this home in Skillman, NJ by squeezing through the damaged gable vent. A short time after setting up our retrieval devices, we safely removed all the bats from the property. After disinfecting the area, we went back to our trucks, fashioned a louvered vent guard and installed it over the gable vent.
The louvered vent guard is made out of heavy-duty Galvannealed steel, which means that not only is it durable, but it also won't rust. Additionally, it is customized to accommodate vents of all shapes and sizes and properly secures the area from not just bats, but all nuisance wildlife and birds too.
Flying Squirrels Infesting Home in Belle Mead, NJ
A new customer in Belle Mead, NJ was having trouble with flying squirrels getting into his attic and destroying his insulation, so he contacted Little Rascals and we were sent out to investigate. After inspecting the property from top to bottom, we determined that the flying squirrels were infesting the home via the attic fan!
In order to safely remove them from the home, we temporarily sealed off the attic fan and installed a one-way device in front of it. The one-way device will allow the flying squirrels to safely leave the area but prevent them from getting back in. We also placed several baited devices nearby. A short while later, we successfully and safely retrieved all the flying squirrels in the home, relocated them to a new, humane environment, and disinfected the attic area.
To prevent any future intrusions from flying squirrels, we installed an attic fan cover over the attic fan. This material is made out of heavy-duty 18 Gauge expanded Galvannealed steel mesh. This won't just prevent flying squirrels from gaining access into the home, but all nuisance wildlife, bats, and nuisance birds!
Bat's find easy access to Princeton, NJ home
This homeowner in Princeton, NJ found herself with bats nesting under the fascia leaving guano (the excrement of birds and bats) deposits all over the deck. Bat guano happens to be an excellent organic fertilizer because of its high nitrogen and phosphorus, but it is also a health hazard. Bat and bird guano can contain numerous pathogens including a fungus that causes histoplasmosis, a serious chronic lung disease, and exposure, Including breathing in these airborne particles, is dangerous for homeowners. Also, bats are major carriers of rabies. Bat infestations need to be removed and professional experienced in excluding bats from nesting in your home should be brought in. This is not a DIY project and you should not be working in a bat-contaminated area without proper protective equipment. For this home, I completely covered the fascia with a metal barrier to keep them from roosting in and between the fascia board.
