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!
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.
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.
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.
