A short while ago, Little Rascals safely and successfully removed several squirrels from the attic of this home in Peapack,NJ. Now all that's left is to disinfect the area and prevent the squirrels from getting back into the home. Since the squirrels were using the gable vent to infest the attic, we installed Pest-Blok over it. Pest-Blok doesn't restrict the airflow to the attic, undergoes a silicone-protected polyester coating process that makes it last longer, and guards the home against squirrels, bats, birds, and all other nuisance wildlife.
This customer in Gladstone, NJ had a starling stuck in his dryer vent, so he contacted Bird Solutions for help and we were sent out. After setting up our retrieval devices we successfully and safely removed the starling out of the dryer vent. We then removed the nesting debris and then disinfected the area with a solution that targets bird mites. Bird mites are parasites that feed on the blood of birds. When birds leave their nests, the mites are left behind without a suitable host for their next blood meal and make their way into a home.
Lastly, to prevent any future nuisance bird intrusions, we installed a Defender over the dryer vent. The Defender is the perfect choice to help keep out nuisance birds. While allowing free-flowing air movement, its patented design effectively blocks intrusion by using a system of bars instead of a screen under the hood.
This homeowner in Bedminster, NJ, was mowing his lawn and trimming his shrubs when he suddenly got attacked by a number of yellow jackets! He ran inside and called Cowleys. Moments later, we were dispatched to assist the customer. When we arrived, the first thing we did was equip our protective bee suit (so we don't get stung) and then began looking for the nest.
After a few moments of searching the area where the owner got stung, we finally located the basketball sized nest! It was cleverly camouflaged in the bushes and would only be noticeable if you were looking for it! We injected a knockdown aerosol application into the nest. A short while later, we injected a knockdown dusting application. Both of these treatments are going to neutralize the yellow jackets almost immediately. After a few moments went by, we removed the nest carefully and disposed of it properly.
This customer in Montgomery, NJ frantically called Little Rascals after spotting a raccoon entering his home through the gable vent! Once we arrived, we installed a one-way device over the main access point and enclosed the area, temporarily, with hardware cloth. The one way device is designed to allow the raccoon to leave the area, but prevent it from returning the same way. We also installed several baited devices nearby.
A short while later, we safely retrieved the raccoon! We relocated it to a new, humane environment and then focused our attention to the gable vent. Other raccoons, and nuisance wildlife, can still enter the home via the gable vent and cause some serious damage to the attic. To prevent this, we installed a louvered vent guard. The 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. Now the gable vent is properly protected from raccoons and all other nuisance wildlife!
We were sent out to a home in Montgomery, NJ to remove a number of starlings that were harboring inside the chimney. Starlings have a reputation of being the most annoying and common home-invading birds in the US. They are stocky black birds with short tails, triangular wings, and long, pointed bills. They nest in holes and cavities and often use holes in buildings — primarily dryer vents. The starlings have also had a negative impact on the US economy and ecosystem, which designates them as an invasive species. The uric acid in starling feces can damage paint, plastic, canvas canopies, corrode stone, metal, and masonry.
A short while after setting up our devices, we safely removed all of the starlings out of the chimney. Now, in order to make sure that both the chimney's are protected from future intrusions, we installed a chimney cap over each one. A chimney cap is a heavy-duty material that's constructed out of 24 Gauge Top and Flange, and 18 Gauge Galvanized Mesh! It is designed to prevent access to the chimney from all nuisance wildlife and birds. Now both chimneys are properly excluded!
