Pests We Treat Before & After Photos

We're returning to this home in Princeton, NJ to check up on the mice infestation. As we checked our rodent bait stations, we did find some activity inside a few of them, so we replenished the bait. Since the mice were able to squeeze through a tiny opening around one of the utility pipes, we stuffed that opening with chew-proof metal mesh and sealed it off with a premium, waterproof adhesive. We waited a few moments and smoothed the adhesive out to make it even with the siding and to blend better.

We repeated this process to each and every single opening around the exterior of the home. When we had finished, we scheduled several additional follow up visits with the homeowner to change out the bait in the rodent bait stations until the mice are no longer infesting the home.

We're returning to this office building in Princeton, NJ, for a follow up visit for mice. Previously, we installed a number of rodent bait stations around the exterior and throughout the interior of the building. For this visit, we're going to check up on each of the bait stations and replenish them.

Since there were multiple openings and gaps around several utility pipes, we're going to exclude them! First, we're going to stuff each one with chew-proof stainless metal mesh. Rodents typically don't like chewing through metal because it's extremely uncomfortable for their teeth and gums. Afterward, we're going to seal them with a waterproof, premium adhesive.

Once we're finished, we're going to schedule several more follow up visits to replenish the bait stations and monitor the mice activity until they are no longer infesting the property.

After noticing a small, but active hornets nest on his soffit, this homeowner in Far Hills, NJ immediately called Cowleys for help and we were sent out. Once we arrived and took a closer look at the nest, we identified these stinging insects as bald-faced hornets. Bald-faced hornets are social stinging insects that are a close relative to yellow jackets. The surface of their upper midsection almost looks triangular from the side, and they have white markings on their face. They are EXTREMELY aggressive and will not hesitate to sting anything that invades their space. What makes them even scarier is they have smooth stingers, which means they can sting over and over again, can actually sense vibrations in the air, and remember their invader's face!

We treated the nest with a knockdown aerosol and a knockdown liquid application. Both of these products exterminate the bald-faced hornets almost immediately. A short while later, we removed the nest, properly disposed of it, and applied a liquid residual to the area to eliminate any returning bald-faced hornets and prevent any future bald-faced hornets from rebuilding their nest. 

A new customer in Plainsboro, NJ called Cowleys after hearing some scratching and "other odd noises" in her kitchen, so we were sent out to investigate. As we inspected the kitchen, we noticed some rodent droppings near the stove. So we asked the homeowner to move it. As soon as she did, we found a massive buildup of mice droppings and candy wrappers behind the stove. 

Apparently the mice were stealing the candy from the bowl on top of the counter and bringing it behind the stove! There was also an opening around the gas pipe that lead outside, which also had a wide opening around it. This was how the mice were able to get into the home! First thing we did was carefully vacuum up all the mice droppings behind the stove. After that, we installed several rodent bait stations throughout the kitchen, behind the stove, and in several locations around the exterior of the home.

The last thing we did was schedule a number of return visits to monitor the infestation and replenish the bait stations as needed. On our next visit, we're going to properly close off all the openings inside and outside of the property that the mice are using to infest the home. 

Recently, we were sent out on a service call for a new customer in Bernardsville, NJ to treat and remove a hornets nest. The owner stated that the nest was "big" and it was attached to her downspout. Well, when we arrived and spotted the nest, we determined that the term "big" was an understatement! The nest was MASSIVE and full of angry bald-faced hornets!

Bald-faced hornets are one of the most aggressive and territorial stinging insects out there. If anything comes within close proximity to their nest, they will attack it! So we equipped our protective bee suit and treated the nest with a knockdown liquid and a knockdown dusting application. Both of these treatments will rapidly exterminate the bald-faced hornets.

A short while later we removed the nest, disposed of it, and then treated the area with a liquid residual. This application will neutralize any bald-faced hornets that return to the area as well as prevent them, and any other stinging insect, from building another nest.
