Previously, a raccoon had broken into this homeowners attic via the gable vent. Each of the gable vents were dry rotted, which made it easier for the raccoon to break into the home. After we safely removed and relocated the raccoon to a new, humane environment, we disinfected the attic area and removed the old, broken gable vents and replaced them with a new, sturdy one and screened them off to prevent any nuisance wildlife from gaining access into the home.
Now the home is properly protected from all nuisance wildlife!
This customer purchased a new property in Neshanic Station, NJ and was planning on renovating it. After returning to the home several weeks after the closing, he was shocked to discover a large yellow jackets nest on one of the living room windows! He had previously used Cowleys for one of his other properties, so he knew exactly who to call for help.
Once we arrived, we equipped our protective bee suit and inspected the area. During our inspection we discovered a crack in the framing of the window, which the yellow jackets used to enter the home. We told the owner and suggested that he replace the window once we're done treating, to which he agreed.
For treatment, we injected a knockdown aerosol application, waited several moments, and then injected a knockdown dusting product. Both of these treatments will exterminate the yellow jackets almost immediately. Once they were eliminated, we removed the nest, disposed of it, cleaned the area, and (as a temporary solution) sealed the crack in the window frame with a premium waterproof adhesive.
Flying squirrels had made their way into this home in Gladstone, NJ and were making a mess in the customer's attic. After a thorough inspection of the home, we determined that the flying squirrels were squeezing through the eave of the home. We setup a one-way device over the entrance point, temporarily enclosed the area with hardware cloth, and installed several baited devices. The one-way device is going to allow the flying squirrels to leave the area safely but prevent them from getting back in. After a short period of time, we successfully retrieved all of the flying squirrels and took them to a safer and more humane environment.
We then disinfected the attic and, to prevent any future wildlife intrusions, we installed sturdy, metal flashing over the access point.
We're returning to this property in Gladstone, NJ to follow up on the mice activity. Previously, we installed several rodent bait stations inside and outside of the home and we're going to replenish all of the stations that have activity in them.
The mice were able to infest the home by utilizing an old exhaust vent. So to prevent that from continuing, we installed a DryerWallVent® over that exhaust vent. This material is made out of heavy-duty galvanized steel and its large opening and angled damper provide maximum airflow efficiency for safe venting. It's sturdy integrated magnets keep the damper closed when not in use which prevents all rodents and nuisance wildlife from getting back in the area!
Once we finish with that, we're going to properly exclude any and all gaps around the home that the mice can use to infest the property.
This customer has some squirrels residing in his home in Gladstone, NJ. The property had a piece of fascia board missing and the wood was exposed. The squirrels used this opportunity to infest the home!
We installed a one-way device over the access area, temporarily enclosed the area with hardware cloth, and placed some baited devices nearby. The one-way device will allow the squirrels to leave the property safely but prevent them from getting back in. A short while later, we retrieved all of the squirrels and took them to a much safer location.
We then disinfected the attic and installed a piece of sturdy metal flashing over the exposed wood on the fascia board. This will prevent the squirrels, and any other nuisance wildlife, from infesting the home through this area.
