Installing New Gable Vents to Keep Wildlife & Pests Out in Brick, NJ
Previously, this customer in Brick, NJ had bats in her attic. They were able to get into that area by squeezing through the gable vents. After installing our retrieval devices, we safely removed all the bats from the property.
After removing all the bat guano out of the attic and disinfecting the area, we removed the old gable vents (since they were damaged) and replaced them with a louvered vent guard. A louvered vent guard 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! The best part is that it properly secures the gable vents from any future intrusions from bats, birds, pests, and all nuisance wildlife!
Groundhogs Digging Around the Shed & Harboring Underneath It in Allenwood, NJ
After her daughter spotted a groundhog running across the yard and then going underneath the shed, this homeowner in Allenwood, NJ, called our Nuisance Wildlife Division for help. In order to safely retrieve the groundhog, we installed Dig Defense® around the entire perimeter of the shed except for one area, which was the main burrow. 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 main burrow. A positive set is comprised 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 groundhog will enter our device. Once we safely retrieve the groundhog, we will relocate it to a new, humane location, fill in the burrow, and install another portion of Dig Defense® over the main burrow.
Raccoons Break Into Home Through the Gable Vent in Barnegat Light, NJ
An raccoon decided that the attic of this home Barnegat Light, NJ was a great spot to reside in, so it ripped apart the gable vent and made it's way inside! The homeowner wasn't exactly to fond of this idea and called Little Rascals for help. Nuisance wildlife infesting a home via the gable vents is very common. Over time, the gable vents get weathered and raccoons, squirrels, birds, and bats have no problem ripping away these vents to find shelter inside a home.
To safely remove the raccoon, we installed a one-way over the gable vent, temporarily enclosed the area with hardware cloth, and set-up several baited devices nearby. A one-way is a device that allows raccoons to safely leave an area, but prevent them from getting back in. A short while later, we successfully retrieved the raccoon and relocated the it to a new, humane location. Afterward, we disinfected the attic area, removed the broken gable vent and replaced it with a louvered vent guard. 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. Now the home is properly protected from not just raccoons, but all nuisance wildlife and pests!
Raccoons Destroyed the Fascia, We Repair It in Manasquan, NJ
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 No Longer Have Access Into the Home in Manasquan, NJ
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!
