Cowleys Pest Services Before & After Photos

A short while ago, our Little Rascals Nuisance Wildlife Division successfully and safely removed all the bats from this homeowners attic in Fair Haven, NJ. Now, we're here to remove all the contaminated insulation and reinsulate the attic. 

First, we removed all the contaminated insulation and then carefully vacuumed up all the bat droppings. Next, we disposed of them properly and disinfected the area. Afterward, we air sealed all the gaps and cracks in the attic. This will eliminate air flow between the living space and the attic, improving energy efficiency. Lastly, we added over 10 inches of TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation.

TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation has a higher R-value than standard fiberglass insulation, has the highest Class-1 fire safety rating, is resistance to mold and pests, and is eco-friendly! TruSoft is the perfect choice for attic insulation as it maximizes home comfort and optimizes energy usage for year-round peace and savings.

A short while ago, a nasty storm had blown a portion of the fascia boards right off this customers home in Fair Haven, NJ. A short while later, a few starlings came by and decided to nest in that area! This didn't make the homeowner happy and so he called Bird Solutions by Cowleys for help and we were sent out.

Once we arrived, the first thing we did was carefully remove all the nesting debris. Next, we disinfected the areas with an application that attacks and exterminates bird mites. What are bird mites exactly? They are semi-transparent parasites that feed on the blood of birds. Once the birds leave their nests, the mites are left behind without a host for their next blood meal, so they make their way into a home and then feed on the blood of you, your family, and your pets!

Lastly, we replaced the fascia board with sturdy metal flashing to exclude the area from all nuisance birds, bats, and other wildlife.

This homeowner in Spring Lake, NJ, was fed up with squirrels and nuisance birds nesting on the joists of his deck. After doing some research, he called Little Rascals by Cowleys for help and we were sent out! 

To exclude the squirrels, as well as nuisance birds & any other nuisance wildlife, we disinfected the joists and installed Pest-Blok. Pest-Blok undergoes a silicone-protected polyester coating process that makes it last longer and guards the area against squirrels, birds, and all other nuisance wildlife.

As this homeowner in Spring Lake, NJ was tending to her yard, she spotted an opossum running across the grass and then go underneath her deck. Startled, she searched online for a reputable nuisance wildlife control company, found Little Rascals, and scheduled an appointment. As we inspected the area, we found the opossums main harborage area as well as several other potential harborage areas for other nuisance wildlife.

So to exclude all nuisance wildlife and protect the deck, we installed Dig Defense® around the entire perimeter of the deck except for one area. Dig Defense® is a below-ground fence system that is 15 inches deep, 4 feet across, and protects structures against invasive nuisance wildlife and feral animals. Afterward, we installed a positive set over the exposed opening. A positive set consists of a nose cone that is attached to a two-gaited, heavy-duty device. It's called a positive set, because we are positive that the opossum will enter our device.

Shortly after, we successfully retrieved the opossum, relocated it to a new, humane location, and installed another portion of Dig Defense® over the opening.

One warm and sunny afternoon, this customer in Spring Lake, NJ, decided that it was a great day to go out and clean his gutters. However, as he was climbing up his ladder, he was attacked by several angry bald-faced hornets. He quickly got off his ladder and then spotted a soccer ball sized bald-faced hornets nest right next to the downspout, tucked away in the corner of the house. Since he was already a Home Protection Plan customer, he gave our Pest Control Division a call and we were sent out to inspect and treat. 

When it comes to treating anytime type of stinging insects extreme care is needed, especially with bald-faced hornets. They are one of the most territorially and aggressive stinging insects out there and will attack ANYTHING that comes close to their nest. Once we arrived, we equipped our protective bee suit, grabbed our extendable pole, attached a residual dusting application to it, and then injected it into the nest. This application rapidly exterminates the bald-faced hornets.

A short while later, we removed the nest, disposed of it, and then applied a liquid non-repellant residual to the area. This treatment will eliminate any returning bald-faced hornets as well as prevent them, and any other stinging insect, from building another nest.
