Cowleys Pest Services Before & After Photos

This customer in Manasquan, NJ, was suffering from nuisance birds constantly defecating on his roof and damaging it. After several DIY attempts had failed, he realized that he needed a professional, so he called our Bird Solutions Division for help. A major problem with nuisance birds roosting on your home is their prodigious waste. Their thick white glue-like droppings are filled with pathogens and are a nightmare to clean. Their waste can cause property damage and it's acidic enough to disintegrate roofing materials and cause roof leaks!

We determined that the safest and effective method to deter the birds from the roof was to install and secure an Eagle Eye bird deterrent onto the roof. This highly effective optical bird “scarer” can be attached to the peak of a roof or anywhere else that nuisance birds are landing and congregating. As the wind catches the device, it spins and emits an annoying large glare that distracts nuisance birds and limits their vision. The reflected light beams are so uncomfortable that the nuisance birds will divert their flight and head away from the property. Now the nuisance birds problem will be completely eliminated as the birds seek out more hospitable locations where they are not bothered by a blinding light every time they attempt to land!

A raccoon had caused quite a bit of damage to this home in Manasquan, NJ. When the raccoon had entered the home, it tore apart the owners entire fascia! Fortunately, we were able to successfully and safely retrieve the raccoon and relocate it to a new, humane location. Now all that's left is to repair the fascia!

First, we removed the damaged wooden fascia and replaced it with pressure treated wood. Next, we installed sturdy metal flashing over the entire length of the fascia. This will exclude raccoons, as well other nuisance wildlife and nuisance birds, from infesting the home. 

Bats were infesting this home in Manasquan, NJ and defecating all over the attic. They were able to get into the attic by squeezing through the ridge vents. The whole purpose of the ridge vents is to allow hot air to escape from the home. However, the material that ridge vents are made of can warp from age, heat, and sun exposure, leaving the area vulnerable for bats and other nuisance wildlife. Once we set up our retrieval devices, after a short period of time, we successfully & safely removed all of the bats out of the attic. Now lets stop them and other nuisance wildlife from using the ridge vents as a way to enter the home.

To accomplish that, we installed Ridge-Guard® into all of the ridge vents! Ridge-Guard® secures and reinforces the ridge vent shingles to prevent the bats from entering the home through that area. Now all the ridge vents are properly excluded from any future intrusions from all nuisance wildlife!

During regularly scheduled treatment service for a new Commercial Protection Plan customer in Seaside Park, NJ, we discovered something interesting in the bushes near the employee parking lot - a soccer ball sized bald-faced hornets nest! We spoke to the owner and he, nor his staff, had no idea that these aggressive and ill-tempered stinging insects were there! This is why we always conduct a full inspection of a home or business!

For treatment, we injected a knockdown aerosol product into the bald-faced hornets nest. After several moments had passed, we then liberally treated the nest with a knockdown liquid application. Both of these treatments neutralize the bald-faced hornets within minutes. After some time had passed, we removed the nest, and the branch it was attached to, and disposed of them both properly.

This customer in Brielle, NJ, had an infestation of squirrels in her attic. They were able to infest the home by ripping apart an area by the porch overhang and squeezing through a small gap. In order to safely retrieve the squirrels, we temporarily sealed off the access points on both sides of the porch overhang with hardware cloth, left one area exposed, and installed a one-way device over that area. We also installed several baited devices nearby. A one-way device is designed to allow the squirrel to safely leave the area but prevent it from getting back in. A short while later, we successfully retrieved all the squirrels and relocated them to a new, humane environment.

Now it's time to prevent them from getting back in! To accomplish that, we fashioned a piece of sturdy metal flashing and installed it over each one of the porch overhangs! Now the areas are properly protected from squirrels, birds, bats, and any other nuisance wildlife.
