Squirrels Chew Apart Hole in the Roof & We Fix It in Kendall Park, NJ
This homeowner in Kendall Park, NJ had squirrels living in his attic and even damaged a portion of his roof by chewing a hole in it! Previously, we safely retrieved all the squirrels from the home and relocated them to a new, humane environment. After disinfecting the area, we began to repair the damage.
First, we cut a piece of sturdy metal flashing and installed it over the opening. Next, we applied roof grit to the flashing to blend it in with the color of the roof. Afterward, we applied a premium adhesive to the area and spread it across the flashing in order to hold the roof grits in place. Now the roof is repaired and good as new!
Squirrels Use Old Bathroom Vent to Infest Home in Kendall Park, NJ
This homeowner in Kendall Park, NJ kept hearing noises in his upstairs bathroom and was concerned that something was living inside his home, so he called Little Rascals for help. Once we arrived and began inspecting the property, we spotted some squirrels going in and out of a vent on the side of the home. Looks like the homeowner has a squirrel problem. We informed the owner who mentioned that the vent is old and use to connect to the bathroom.
We temporarily enclosed the area with hardware cloth, installed a one-way device in front of the exhaust vent, and set up several baited traps nearby. The one-way will allow the squirrel to safely leave the attic, but prevent them from getting back in. A short while later, we successfully retrieved the squirrels and relocated them to a new, humane location. Additionally, we disinfected the area and installed a 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 squirrels, birds, and all nuisance wildlife from infesting the home.
The Defender Prevents Birds From Accessing Exhaust Vents in Kendall Park, NJ
Not too long ago this customer in Kendall Park, NJ had some sparrows nesting in one of his exhaust vents. Our Bird Solutions team was dispatched to the property to safely remove the nuisance birds and, after setting up their devices, were able to successfully accomplish that goal!
After removing the sparrows, 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 each one of the dryer and exhaust vents. 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.
Mice Removal, Control, and Exclusion in Monmouth Junction, NJ
With mice and other nuisance wildlife infestations, it is critical to find the potential entry points and seal them; otherwise, the infestation will never be permanently resolved.
We carefully inspected the entire home, filling every hole we could locate with spray foam. The before/after pictures highlight that the gaps that were once open are now closed off. During my inspection, I also noticed a large gap underneath the front door that would allow mice to enter. I installed rubber weather stripping to seal that potential route.
Putting an End to the Bats Getting Inside the Home in Monmouth Junction, NJ
This homeowner in Monmouth Junction, NJ had been dealing with bats inside her attic for quite some time. Finally, she decided that enough was enough and called Little Rascals for help. As we inspected the property, we discovered that the bats were getting inside the attic by squeezing through the ridge vents.
The whole purpose of the ridge vents is to allow hot air to escape from the home. However, the material that ridge vents are made of can warp from age, heat, and sun exposure, leaving the area vulnerable for bats and other nuisance wildlife. Since the bats were entering the home through the ridge vents, we installed Ridge-Guard® to protect to them. Ridge-Guard® secures and reinforces the ridge vent shingles to prevent the bats from entering the home through that area. Now all the ridge vents are properly excluded from any future intrusions from bats as well as all nuisance wildlife!
