Wildlife Removal Before & After Photos

A property manager of an apartment complex in Little Silver, NJ, called Little Rascals for assistance after his maintenance team found several squirrels in one of his tenants' attic. When we arrived, we started thoroughly inspecting the exterior of the building and noticed squirrel hair near the gutters. We took a closer look and determined that the squirrels were entering the unit via the builders gap. A builders gap is the gap between the fascia board, where the gutter is hung, and the roof decking. It's caused when roof decking is stopped too short and isn't flush with the fascia. The gap is meant to help with airflow throughout the attic, but also presents an opportunity for squirrels, as well as raccoons, birds, and bats, to infest the attic.

There was one area of the fascia that was chewed out by squirrels, so we installed a one-way device over it, temporarily enclosed the area with hardware cloth, and set up several baited devices nearby. The one-way will allow the squirrels to safely leave the attic but prevent them from getting back in. A short while later, we successfully retrieved all the squirrels and relocated them to a new, humane environment.

To prevent any future infestations from squirrels, or any other nuisance wildlife, from the building we installed Pest-Blok over the builders gap. Pest-Blok doesn't restrict airflow, undergoes a silicone-protected polyester coating process that makes it last longer, and guards the home against squirrels, pests, birds, and all other nuisance 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 squirrels, birds, and 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 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 going 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 opossum's 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 15 inches deep and 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 comprises a nose cone attached to a two-gaited, heavy-duty device. It's an upbeat set because we are optimistic that the opossum will enter our device.

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

This customer in Rumson, NJ had a unique situation with a squirrel infesting his property. After a thorough inspection of the entire exterior of the property, we determined that the squirrel actually chewed through the PVC portion of the plumbing pipe and used that to gain access into the home! The whole purpose of the plumbing pipe is to make sure that the plumbing works properly as well as keeps methane gas out of the home.

To safely retrieve the squirrel, we installed a one-way device and temporarily enclosed the access area off with hardware cloth. We also set-up 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 the squirrel and relocated it to a new, humane environment.

Afterward, we replaced the PVC portion of the plumbing pipe, installed a Perma-Boot, and sealed it in place with a premium, waterproof adhesive. The Perma-Boot is a gasket-less two piece pipe boot repair system that is designed to permanently repair any leak around the vent pipes.

A short while ago, this customer in Ocean Township, NJ, had squirrels infest the attic of his home via the gable vent. We were able to successfully and safely remove them from the home and relocate them to a new humane location. Afterward, we disinfected the entire attic.

In order to prevent any future intrusions from squirrels, as well as any other nuisance wildlife, we installed a louvered vent guard over every single one of the gable vents. 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.
