Cowleys Pest Services Before & After Photos

This customer in Freehold, NJ had an issue with bats getting into his attic via the louvered gable vent. In order to safely retrieve the bats, we installed a bat cone over the gable vent and then temporarily enclosed the area with hardware cloth. The bat cone will allow the bats to safely leave the area but prevent them from getting back in. A short while later, we successfully removed all that bats from the home. Now all that's left is to prevent them from getting back in.

To do that, we installed a louvered gable vent cover over the louvered vent. This material 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 bats, birds, raccoons, and all other nuisance wildlife!

This customer in Freehold, NJ had a big problem with several woodpeckers pecking into the siding of his home and causing some severe damage to his property! To solve this issue, we installed several Intimidator bird flashers around the exterior of the home.

The Intimidator reflects the suns rays as the wind spins it around and gives off Ultra Violet "flashes" (ultra violet is a color that birds can see but humans can not). The woodpeckers will relate the UV flashes as a danger and stay away. This is a humane and effective visual deterrent to prevent the woodpeckers from causing any further damage to the home.

Next, we stuffed each one of the holes made by the woodpecker with stainless steel mesh and then sealed them with waterproof adhesive. Lastly, we installed sturdy metal flashing over the damaged areas. Although we had offered to paint over the metal flashing so that it blends in with the color of his home, the owner declined as he was planning to repaint his siding any way at a later date.

This homeowner in Woodbridge, NJ, had a little problem. A woodpecker was confusing the side of his home as a giant tree and was causing some considerable damage to it! So to resolve this, we installed several Intimidator bird flashers around the home. The Intimidator reflects the suns rays as the wind spins it around and gives off Ultra Violet "flashes" (ultra violet is a color that birds can see but humans can not). The woodpeckers will relate the UV flashes as a danger and stay away. This is a humane and effective visual deterrent to prevent the woodpeckers from causing any further damage to the home.

Once that was completed, we stuffed each one of the openings made by the woodpecker with stainless steel mesh, sealed them with waterproof adhesive, and installed metal flashing over the holes. We had offered to paint over the metal flashing so that it blends in better with the home, but the owner was planning on repainting his property anyway and wanted to do that on his own.

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. 

After spotting a flying squirrel entering his attic, this homeowner in Morganville, NJ immediately called Little Rascals for help and we were sent out. As we inspected the property, we discovered that the flying squirrels were able to gain access into the home by squeezing through the builders gap. A builder's gap is a gap between the fascia board and roof decking and it's caused when roof decking is stopped too short and isn't flush with the fascia. It's meant to help with airflow to the attic, but nuisance wildlife and pests view this as an open invitation into your property!

To safely retrieve the flying squirrels, we installed a positive set, temporarily enclosed the entire area off with hardware cloth, and set up several baited devices nearby. A positive set is comprised of a nose cone that is attached to a two-gaited, heavy-duty device and the nose cone will safely guide the flying squirrels into the device. It's called a positive set, because we are positive that the squirrels will enter the device.

A short while later, we retrieved the flying squirrels and relocated them to a new, humane and safe environment. We then removed our retrieval devices, disinfected the area, and installed trim coil over the entire length of the builder's gap to prevent any future infestations from squirrels or any other nuisance wildlife.
