Before & After Photos

Recently, we received a frantic call from a homeowner in Point Pleasant Beach, NJ who spotted a raccoon trying to get into her home! Once we arrived we spoke with the owner and she had mentioned that the raccoon was trying to rip apart her gable vent to get into the attic. Fortunately, the homeowner scared it away!

After a thorough inspection of the home, we didn't find any other access points that the raccoon could use to enter the home, just the gable vent. In order to protect the gable vent, we installed a louvered vent guard. A louvered vent guard is made out of heavy-duty Galvannealed steel. It won't rust, is customized to accommodate vents of all shapes and sizes, and properly secures the gable vents from birds, bats, and all nuisance wildlife and pests!

During regularly scheduled treatment service for a new Commercial Protection Plan customer in Seaside Park, NJ, we discovered something interesting in the bushes near the employee parking lot - a soccer ball sized bald-faced hornets nest! We spoke to the owner and he, nor his staff, had no idea that these aggressive and ill-tempered stinging insects were there! This is why we always conduct a full inspection of a home or business!

For treatment, we injected a knockdown aerosol product into the bald-faced hornets nest. After several moments had passed, we then liberally treated the nest with a knockdown liquid application. Both of these treatments neutralize the bald-faced hornets within minutes. After some time had passed, we removed the nest, and the branch it was attached to, and disposed of them both properly.

A short while ago, a nasty storm had blown a portion of the fascia boards right off this customers home in Fair Haven, NJ. A short while later, a few starlings came by and decided to nest in that area! This didn't make the homeowner happy and so he called Bird Solutions by Cowleys for help and we were sent out.

Once we arrived, the first thing we did was carefully remove all the nesting debris. Next, we disinfected the areas with an application that attacks and exterminates bird mites. What are bird mites exactly? They are semi-transparent parasites that feed on the blood of birds. Once the birds leave their nests, the mites are left behind without a host for their next blood meal, so they make their way into a home and then feed on the blood of you, your family, and your pets!

Lastly, we replaced the fascia board with sturdy metal flashing to exclude the area from all nuisance birds, bats, and other wildlife.

One day, this homeowner in Fair Haven, NJ was cleaning out his attic when all of a sudden, he was attacked by a number of hornets! He quickly left the attic and took a look on the outside of his home. That's when he discovered a soccer-ball sized hornets nest about 50 feet up at the peak of his home. He called Cowleys for help and we were sent out. 

Once we arrived and investigated the nest, we identified them as bald-faced hornets. Bald-faced hornets are social stinging insects that have white markings on their face. They're EXTREMELY aggressive and territorial. So aggressive that if anyone or anything comes within close proximity of their nest, they will attack! What makes them even scarier is they can actually sense vibrations in the air (when you mow your lawn) and remember their invader's face! Using our extendable pole, we treated the bald-faced hornet nest with a knockdown aerosol application.

A short while later, we injected a knockdown dusting application into the nest. Both of these treatments quickly exterminate the bald-faced hornets. After some time had passed, we removed the nest, disposed of it, and applied a liquid non-repellant residual to the area. As we removed the nest we noticed a small gap around a utility wire. This was how the hornets were getting into the attic! We sealed it up with a premium, waterproof adhesive. The residual that we applied will neutralize any bald-faced hornets that return to this area and prevent them, and any other stinging insect, from building a new nest.

A new customer in Little Silver, NJ contacted our Little Rascals Nuisance Wildlife Division after seeing a raccoon rip apart his gable vent and enter his home. Over time, the gable vents get weathered and dry rotted. This makes it easier for raccoons as well as squirrels to break into the home. 

After we safely removed and relocated the raccoons to a new, humane environment, we disinfected the attic area and removed the old, broken gable vent. We did offer to replace the gable vent, but the homeowner mentioned that he will fix it on his own at a later date. As a temporary solution, we installed Pest-Blok over the gable vent. 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 raccoons, squirrels, pests, birds, and all other nuisance wildlife.
