Before & After Photos

This business in Lawrenceville, NJ had a large infestation of birds in the building. There were able to get in via several openings around the building. Apparently, the business owner had recently renovated the property and removed several utility pipes and exhaust vents. The only problem was that he forgot to seal them up! So the birds took full advantage and resided in these areas.

For treatment, we carefully removed all the nesting debris and then properly disinfected every single harborage point. Next, we placed sturdy metal flashing over all the holes in the building and painted them to blend in with the color of the exterior.

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 customer in Peapack, NJ was suffering from a major squirrel infestation in their home. Almost every one of the soffit returns were damaged by squirrels who were utilizing them to infest the property. In order to safely remove them, we installed a one-way device over each one of the soffit returns, temporarily enclosed them with hardware cloth, and then set up several baited devices. A one-way device is a device that allows the squirrels to safely exit an area but prevent them from getting back in.

After a short period of time, we had successfully retrieved all of the squirrels and took them to a new, humane location. Before doing that, we disinfected the infested areas, installed sturdy metal flashing over each one of the soffit returns to prevent reinfestation, and then painted them brown to make the color of the home.
