Before & After Photos

This customer in Manalapan, NJ had a big problem. Turkey vultures were roosting on his roof and defecating all over it. This posed not only a health hazard to the family, but also was severely damaging the roof! 

In order to safely and effectively keep the turkey vultures off the roof, we installed Shock Track. Shock Track is a unique electrically charged track that imparts a mild electrical shock when the turkey vultures land on them. The shock will not harm them but will condition them to avoid the area. The shock track gets affixed to roof, with no screws, and is connected to a solar-powered charger. Now the turkey vultures are properly excluded from the roof.

As we were inspecting this home in Jackson, NJ, we found two active bald-faced hornets nests on each of the electric meters! What makes bald-faced hornets particular dangerous, aside from being one of the most aggressive stinging insects out there, is that they can remember an intruders face, sense vibrations in the ground, and sting an individual over and over again with their smooth stinger. 

For treatment, we injected a knockdown aerosol application into the opening of each nest. This rapidly exterminated the bald-faced hornets. Shortly after, we removed each of the nests and disposed of them properly. 

During a routine service treatment for a new Home Protection Plan customer in Old Bridge, NJ we noticed a few openings around several utility pipes and utility wires around the exterior of the home. Although the homeowner didn't have any issues with mice in her home, if these gaps are left alone, it's only a matter of time until she does. Remember a mouse only needs an opening the width of a pencil to infest a home!

So we stuffed each and every opening with chew-proof stainless steel mesh, which mice hate to chew through. We then sealed them in place with a waterproof, premium adhesive. The combination of these two materials make for a great deterrent and the home is properly guarded against rodents.

Woodpeckers were drilling into the fascia boards of this customers in Old Bridge, NJ, and causing some serious damage to the area. So much damage, that the entire fascia board was falling apart and needed to be replaced! So, with the owner's permission, we removed all the damaged materials and installed sturdy, pressure treated wood. Afterward, we installed sturdy metal flashing over the wood.

Once that was completed, in order to prevent the woodpeckers (and any other nuisance birds) from damaging or roosting along the area, we installed several Intimidators around the home. The Intimidator reflects the suns rays as the wind spins it around and gives off Ultra Violet "flashes." Since ultra violet is a color that birds can see but humans can not, the woodpeckers will relate the UV flashes as a threat and stay away. This is a humane and effective visual deterrent to prevent the woodpeckers from causing any further damage to the home.

As this homeowner in Parlin, NJ was trimming his hedges, he was suddenly attacked by a group of bald-faced hornets! After heading inside, he immediately called Cowleys for help and we were sent out. As we inspected the area where the owner was attacked, we spotted their nest hidden very well inside the hedges.

Bald-faced hornets are known to be quite territorial and aggressive. They can actually sense vibrations in the air, remember an intruders face, and sting anyone or anything multiple times because they have smooth stingers. The first thing we did was inject a knockdown dusting application directly into the nest. Several minutes later, we also injected a knockdown liquid application. These treatments will quickly exterminate these aggressive stinging insects.

A few moments later, we removed the nest and disposed of it properly.
