Cowleys Pest Services Before & After Photos

As we were treating this commercial property in Middletown, NJ we noticed some yellow jackets hovering around an area on the lawn. We took a closer look and discovered that the yellow jackets had an in-ground nest in this area!

Yellow jackets construct paper-like nests underground that may contain thousands of larvae and adult workers! Foraging ground-nesting yellow jacket workers could come in contact with people who hangout in their backyard or are just mowing their lawn and (since yellow jackets are territorial) attack the unsuspecting victims over and over again!

For treatment, we injected a residual dusting application directly into the burrow. This application neutralizes the yellow jackets almost immediately. A few moments later, we dug up the nest, disposed of it properly, and then filled in the burrow.

A new customer in Brick, NJ, called our Nuisance Wildlife division needing help to remove a squirrel in his attic. Once we arrived and inspected the exterior of the home, we determined that the squirrel was entering the attic via the weathered 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.

In order to safely retrieve the squirrel, we installed a one-way device over the main access point and temporarily enclosed it with hardware cloth. We also installed several baited devices nearby. The one-way is designed to allow the squirrel to safely leave the attic area, but prevent them from getting back in. A short while later, we successfully retrieved the squirrels and relocated them to a new, humane location. 

Afterward, we disinfected the attic area, removed the broken gable vent and replaced it with a louvered vent guard. 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 home is properly protected from not just squirrels, but all nuisance wildlife and pests!

This customer in Brick, NJ had a squirrel tear a hole in his roof and make its way into the attic. A short while ago, we safely retrieved the squirrel from the home and took it to a new, humane location. All that's left is to repair the hole in the roof!

The first thing we did was disinfect the entire attic. Next, we fashioned a piece of sturdy metal flashing and then installed it over the access point. Afterward, we applied a premium adhesive to the area and spread it across the flashing. Lastly, we applied roof grit to the flashing to blend it in with the color of the roof. Now the damages are repaired and the squirrel is properly removed from the property.

Now that we safely and successfully removed all the squirrels from this home in Brick, NJ, we're now going to repair the damage they inflicted to the soffit. First, we disinfected the entire attic area. Afterward, we then measured a piece of sturdy, metal flashing and cut it to the shape and length of the damaged area. Lastly, we installed the metal flashing over the damaged soffit area to cover and protect the home from pests and nuisance wildlife.

This homeowner in Brick, NJ was mowing his lawn one warm, sunny morning when all of a sudden, he was attacked and stung by several yellow jackets! Fortunately, he was a Home Protection Plan customer, so he stopped what he doing and called Cowleys for help.

When we arrived, we equipped our protective bee suits and began inspecting the area where the owner was attacked. Several moments into our inspection, we found a large yellow jackets nest in the bushes! They were expertly hidden and the owner, nor his family, had any idea they were there!

So we injected a residual aerosol application into the nest, waited a few moments, and then injected a residual dusting product. These treatments exterminate the yellow jackets quickly. A few moments later, we removed the nest & the branch it was attached to and disposed of them properly.
