Before & After Photos

After noticing a large amount of bird nesting debris in a couple of his exhaust vents as well as actually witnessing a number of starlings flying out of the areas, this customer in Princeton, NJ called Bird Solutions for help and we were sent out. Blocked airflow from nests can cause dryers to overheat and create fire hazards, while also potentially leading to moisture buildup, mold, and the spread of diseases like histoplasmosis from droppings.

The first thing we did was carefully remove all of the nesting debris out of each one of the exhaust vents. Afterward, we disinfected each of the exhaust vents 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 of the 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.

Previously, this customer in Raritan, NJ had several flying squirrels residing in his attic. So he contacted Little Rascals for help and we were sent out. A short while after setting up our retrieval devices, we safely and successfully retrieved all of the flying squirrels in the property and took them to a safer location. Now we're going to prevent them from getting back into the home!

Since the flying squirrels were entering the home via the gable vent, we fashioned a louvered vent guard and installed it over that area. A 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 all types of flying squirrels and nuisance wildlife!

Over the years Atlantic City Electric has been having issues with barn swallow flying in and nesting above the I- beams in the loading dock area. When asked by Cowleys pest control company for a solution, we immediately went out to the job site and installed Bird Slope on top of every I- beam. Bird Slope prevents birds from landing and nesting in those areas permanently.

Squirrels had tore a hole right into the gable vent of this home in Rocky Hill, NJ and were taken up residency in the customers attic. Actually, squirrels, and other nuisance wildlife, infesting a home via the gable vents is very common. Over time, the gable vents get weathered and raccoons, squirrels, birds, and bats have no problem ripping away these vents to find shelter inside a home.

Once we set up our retrieval devices, some time later, we retrieved all of the squirrels and took them to a new, humane location. We then disinfected the harborage area, went back to our trucks, and fashioned a louvered gable vent. 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! Once we finished, we installed it over the gable vent. Now the area is properly protected from squirrels as well as all nuisance wildlife!

A business owner was experiencing a rat issue around his property in Bernardsville, NJ, so he called Cowleys for help and we were sent out. After inspecting the entire property, we found a number of rat burrows in the back of the building near the stairs to the basement. Rats create burrows to travel from their nest to a food source and to escape predators. Rat burrows usually contain a main entrance and 1 or 2 exit holes away from the main entrance.

We installed a number Ready-to-Use rodent bait stations near each of the burrows. After that, we then installed several snap traps that are inside temper-proof, child resistant boxes near the burrows. We also filled in a few of the burrows that were no longer in use by the rats. Lastly, we scheduled several follow-up visits to monitor the rat infestation, apply any additional treatments, and replenish the bait stations as needed.
