Before & After Photos

There were plenty of open areas around this customer's shed in Princeton Junction, NJ that the groundhogs used to harbor underneath the area! The entire shed was elevated and completely open! After we had safely retrieved all of the groundhogs and took them to a new humane location, we began excluding the shed.

First, we installed a new wooden trim for the upper sections of the shed. After that, we installed a new and sturdy lattice around the entire perimeter of the shed to properly close off all the open areas. Lastly, we installed Dig Defense® around every single new piece of lattice we installed. Dig Defense® is a below-ground fence system that is 15 inches deep, 4 feet across, and protects structures against all wildlife!

As this homeowner in West Windsor, NJ was removing a few items out of his basement, he was attacked by several yellow jackets! He quickly ran upstairs and called Cowleys. After equipping our protective bee suit, we began inspecting the basement. A few minutes into our investigation, we discovered the yellow jackets nest. It was hidden behind a piece of insulation!

For treatment, we injected a knockdown dusting product, waited several moments, and then injected a knockdown aerosol application directly into the nest. These treatments will neutralize the yellow jackets quickly. A short while after applying the products, we removed the nest, and the piece of insulation that was stuck to it, and disposed of them properly.

Starlings had infested this football stadium in Piscataway, NJ and were roosting in the concrete ceiling of one of the party decks. Since both management, staff, and football fans weren't too keen of getting bird droppings on them, Bird Solutions by Cowleys was sent out.

First, we carefully removed all of the nesting debris and then disinfected the areas with a solution that exterminates bird mites. Afterward, we removed the old material and installed bird netting. In order make sure the bird netting is secured, we used a stainless steel cable with net spikes and anchored it into the walls. We then locked the cables in place using copper ferrules and then installed turnbuckles which tighten the cable.

Bird netting is a 3/4 inch, heavy duty polyethylene bird netting that's used to humanely block the starlings from entering any unwanted areas. It creates an impenetrable barrier that denies the starlings, as well as all nuisance birds, access to these areas and removes the landing areas for them. The starlings are going to fly around, realize they can't enter, and move on. Now the stadium is properly excluded from all nuisance birds.

A new customer in Plainsboro, NJ called Cowleys after hearing some scratching and "other odd noises" in her kitchen, so we were sent out to investigate. As we inspected the kitchen, we noticed some rodent droppings near the stove. So we asked the homeowner to move it. As soon as she did, we found a massive buildup of mice droppings and candy wrappers behind the stove. 

Apparently the mice were stealing the candy from the bowl on top of the counter and bringing it behind the stove! There was also an opening around the gas pipe that lead outside, which also had a wide opening around it. This was how the mice were able to get into the home! First thing we did was carefully vacuum up all the mice droppings behind the stove. After that, we installed several rodent bait stations throughout the kitchen, behind the stove, and in several locations around the exterior of the home.

The last thing we did was schedule a number of return visits to monitor the infestation and replenish the bait stations as needed. On our next visit, we're going to properly close off all the openings inside and outside of the property that the mice are using to infest the home. 

The homeowner in Plainsboro, NJ had a wildlife issue. Several squirrels were harboring inside her chimney! So she reached out to Little Rascals for help and we were sent out. After setting up our recovery devices, after a short period of time, we retrieved the squirrels safely and took them to a new, humane location.

We then disinfected the area and installed a chimney cap over the chimney. This heavy-duty material is 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, birds, and bats. Now the home is properly secured!
