Before & After Photos

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.

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. 

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! 

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!

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.
