Cowleys Pest Services Before & After Photos

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. 

A short while ago, this client in Avon by the Sea, NJ, had a raccoon infest his attic. Although our Little Rascals Nuisance Wildlife team safely removed and relocated the raccoon to a new, humane location, it had defecated all over the attic and contaminated the insulation. So, we were sent out to clean the area and install new insulation.

First, we will remove and dispose of all the contaminated insulation from the attic. Next, we disinfected the area and then installed ComfortTherm® insulation. ComfortTherm® insulation provides excellent temperature and noise control, and comes with a vapor-retarder for use in hot, humid climates. 

We returned for a follow up visit at this property in Bradley Beach, NJ to check on the mice activity. As we inspected our rodent bait stations that we set up around the exterior and interior of the home, we found that several of them had activity in them. So we replenished each and every single one!

After that, since the mice were able to get into the home by squeezing through several gaps around a number of utility pipes, we began excluding them! First, we stuffed each opening with chew-proof mesh, which mice HATE the taste and feel of. Afterward, we sealed them with a waterproof, premium adhesive. After that, we scheduled several additional follow up visits with the homeowner to comeback and replenish the bait stations until the mice are no longer infesting the property.
