Keeping the Shed Free from Raccoons with Dig Defense® in Belle Mead, NJ
This homeowner in Belle Mead, NJ had a raccoon harboring underneath her shed for quite some time and needed help removing it. So she called Little Rascals and we were sent out to assist!
A short while after setting up our retrieval devices, we safely retrieved the raccoon and relocated to a new, safer, and humane environment. Now all that's left is to prevent any other nuisance wildlife from residing underneath the shed.
To do that, we installed Dig Defense® around the entire perimeter of the shed. Dig Defense® is a patented drive-in ground fence panel that extends the protection of a shed or any other enclosed area. It is 15 inches deep, 4 feet across, and completely galvanized! It will protect structures against all nuisance wildlife and feral animals!
Preventing the Bats from Getting Back Into the Attic in Rocky Hill, NJ
This homeowner in Rocky Hill, NJ had a problem - several bats were infesting her attic and causing a mess! So she contacted Little Rascals and we were sent out. In a short amount of time, we had successfully and safely removed all the bats that had infested her home. All that's left was to prevent them, and any other nuisance wildlife, from getting back in.
The first thing we did was disinfect the entire attic. Afterward, since the bats were entering the attic through the gable vent, we installed a louvered vent over the gable vent. A louvered vent guard is made out of heavy-duty Galvannealed steel. It won't rust, is customized to accommodate vents of all shapes and sizes, and properly secures the gable vents from bats, birds, and all nuisance wildlife!
Groundhogs Getting Under Porch in Rocky Hill, NJ
This customer in Rocky Hill, NJ had a problem with several groundhogs nibbling on her plants and garden, and then harboring underneath her porch! After searching on the internet, she came across Little Rascals, called our office, and we were sent out to inspect and treat.
As we inspected the porch, we found several burrows made by the groundhogs around the porch. In order to safely retrieve them, we installed several positive sets over each one of the burrows and then installed Dig Defense® around the entire perimeter of the porch. A positive set is a device that's comprised of a nose cone that is attached to a two-gaited, heavy-duty device. The nose cone will guide the groundhogs safely into the heavy-duty device. It's called a positive set, because we are positive that the groundhogs will enter the devices! Dig Defense® is a below-ground fence system that is 15 inches deep, 4 feet across, and protects structures against all wildlife!
A short while after setting up our devices, we safely retrieved all of the groundhogs and then moved them to a new, safer location. We then installed another portion of Dig Defense® over the burrows and then placed a brand new lattice around the porch! Now the area is not only properly protected from groundhogs, but all nuisance wildlife too!
Soffit Gets Torn Apart by Raccoons in Far Hills, NJ
One evening, this homeowner in Far Hills, NJ heard some "odd noises" in her attic and suspected that something might have invaded her attic, so she called Little Rascals for help. As we inspected the property, we noticed an area of the soffit appeared to be damaged. So we took a closer look and determined that the damages were inflicted by raccoons. How did we know for sure? We also found raccoon paw prints near it.
First, we installed a positive set over the access point and temporarily enclosed it with hardware cloth. We also set up several baited devices nearby. A positive set is comprised of a nose cone, which will guide the raccoons into a two-gaited, heavy-duty device to it. This is called a positive set, because we are positive that the raccoons will have no other way to exit except through our device! Shortly after setting up our devices, we safely retrieved the raccoons and relocated them to a new, humane location.
Before we left, we went back to our trucks, fashioned a piece of sturdy, metal flashing, and installed in over the access point to prevent reinfestation.
Repairing the Raccoon Damage in Gladstone, NJ
This homeowner in Gladstone, NJ, recently found herself with a raccoon infesting her attic. Fortunately, our Little Rascals Nuisance Wildlife Division was sent out and safely and successfully removed the raccoon from the home and relocated it to a new humane location. Now all that's left is to repair the damage that the raccoon had done to the home.
The raccoon actually had two access points, which were in two soffit areas above each of the downspouts. After we disinfected the attic, we installed sturdy metal flashing over each of the access points. Next, we installed a new portion of soffit over the metal flashing in order to blend it in better. Now the home is secured from raccoons and looks better than before!
