This homeowner in Spring Lake, NJ, kept hearing "chirping" in one of his bathrooms and was concerned that his had a bird nesting in his home! He contacted Bird Solutions by Cowleys and we were sent out. As we inspected the exterior of the property, we noticed that one of the exhaust vents seemed to be damaged and was missing a cover. When we took a closer look, we found a sparrow and its nest inside the vent!
To safely remove the sparrow, we installed a one-way device over the vent. This will allow the sparrow to safely leave the area, but prevent them from getting back in. The best part of the one-way device is that, if there are young birds inside, the adult female will still be able to feed them through the flap until they leave. After a short period of time, we returned to the home and discovered that the sparrow had left the property for good.
After we removed our one-way device, we carefully disinfected the vent with an application that targets and eliminates bird mites. Bird mites are parasites that feed on the blood of birds and when birds leave their nests, the mites are left behind without a suitable host for their next blood meal. They will make their way into a home, and once inside they will take over, climbing all over your walls, ceilings, and beddings. To make matters worse, bird mites are tiny and semi-transparent, so they are extremely difficult to detect!
To prevent any future infestations from sparrows, or any other nuisance birds, we installed DryerWallVent®. The DryerWallVent® is made out of heavy-duty galvanized steel and its large opening and angled damper provide maximum airflow efficiency for safe venting. Integrated magnets keep the damper closed when not in use, preventing pests, bats, birds, and all nuisance wildlife from infesting the home.
This customer in Oceanport, NJ, had a problem with rodents infesting her business. How were they getting in? Through a large gap underneath the two front doors. After our Pest Control team came out and successfully removed all the rodents from the property, we were called out to prevent them from getting back in.
To do that, we installed an Xcluder® Rodent Proof Door Sweep underneath each door. Xcluder® door sweeps feature Xcluder fill fabric, providing a barrier impenetrable to rodents and other pests, along with a durable weather seal that can pay for itself in energy savings. Now the rodents are properly excluded from the front entrance of the building.
This homeowner in Oceanport, NJ has starlings nesting in one of the exhaust vents on the exterior of the home. So we were sent out to safely remove and exclude these nuisance birds.
First, we installed a one-way device over the exhaust vent. The one-way will allow the starlings to safely leave the area, but prevent them from getting back in. The best part of the one-way is that, if there are young birds inside, the adult female will still be able to feed them through the flap, until they leave. A short while later, we successfully and safely removed all of the starlings out of the home.
So we carefully removed all of the nesting debris out of the vent and disinfected the area. Lastly, we installed a DryerWallVent® over the broken exhaust vent. The DryerWallVent® is made out of heavy-duty galvanized steel and its large opening and angled damper provide maximum airflow efficiency for safe venting. Integrated magnets keep the damper closed when not in use, preventing pests, bats, birds, and all nuisance wildlife from infesting the home.
After successfully and safely removing all the birds from this homeowners' attic in Rumson, NJ, we need to ensure they don't get back in. Since the gable vents the birds used to infest the building were damaged, we removed it, disinfected the area, and installed a louvered vent guard. This material 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. The home is now appropriately protected from birds, nuisance wildlife, and pests!
A property manager of an adult community in Rumson, NJ, called our office after one of the residents reported seeing a bunch of yellow jackets on her balcony. Once we arrived, we immediately spotted the yellow jackets nest poking out of the siding of the balcony!
For treatment, we injected a knockdown aerosol and a knockdown dusting application. Both of the treatments rapidly exterminate the yellow jackets. A short while later, we removed the nest, disposed of it, and applied a liquid residual to the area. This application will exterminate any yellow jackets that return to this area as well as prevent them from rebuilding another nest.
