Cowleys Pest Services Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Freehold, NJ, was having an issue with squirrels invaded his attic space, so he contacted Little Rascals Nuisance Wildlife Removal for help. After a thorough inspection, we determined that the squirrels were entering the home via the gable vent. Nuisance wildlife infesting a home via the gable vents is very common. Over time, the gable vents get weathered, and raccoons, squirrels, birds, and bats have no problem ripping away these vents to find shelter inside a home.

To safely remove the squirrels, we temporarily installed hardware cloth over the gable vent and attached a one-way device to it. We also placed several baited devices nearby. The one-way device allows the squirrels to safely exit the area, but prevents them from getting back in. A short while later, we successfully retrieved all the squirrels and relocated them to a new, humane location.

In order to prevent any future intrusions from squirrels, and other nuisance wildlife, from gaining access into the home, we installed Pest-Blok over the gable vent. 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, raccoons, and all other nuisance wildlife and birds.

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.

Previously, a raccoon had ripped apart a dormer vent and infested this home in Freehold, NJ. So we were sent out to safely remove the critter. A short while after setting up our retrieval devices, we successfully and safely retrieved the raccoon and took it to a new, safer location. 

Now all that's left is to fix the broken dormer vent. After disinfecting the attic, we went back to our trucks, fashioned a piece of louvered vent guards, and installed it over the dormer vent. The louvered vent guard is made out of heavy-duty Galvannealed steel. It won't rust, is customized to accommodate vents of all shapes and sizes, and properly secures the gable vents from all nuisance wildlife!

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.
