Hidden in the Bush is a Large Bald-Faced Hornet Nest in Seaside Park, NJ
During regularly scheduled treatment service for a new Commercial Protection Plan customer in Seaside Park, NJ, we discovered something interesting in the bushes near the employee parking lot - a soccer ball sized bald-faced hornets nest! We spoke to the owner and he, nor his staff, had no idea that these aggressive and ill-tempered stinging insects were there! This is why we always conduct a full inspection of a home or business!
For treatment, we injected a knockdown aerosol product into the bald-faced hornets nest. After several moments had passed, we then liberally treated the nest with a knockdown liquid application. Both of these treatments neutralize the bald-faced hornets within minutes. After some time had passed, we removed the nest, and the branch it was attached to, and disposed of them both properly.
Removing Contaminated Insulation & Adding Blown-in Cellulose Insulation in Fair Haven, NJ
After our Pest Control team had removed all the mice from this homeowners attic, we're here to remove all the contaminated insulation and add blown-in cellulose insulation.
First, we carefully removed all the contaminated fiberglass insulation throughout the attic. Afterward, we disinfected the attic. Next, we air sealed all the gaps and cracks in the attic. This will eliminate air flow between the living space and the attic, improving energy efficiency. Afterward, we added over 10 inches of TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation. We also installed Tight Shell Can Light Covers over the recessed lights in the attic.
TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation maximizes home comfort, has the highest Class-1 fire safety rating & is resistant to mold and pests. After adding TruSoft, we installed several SilverGlo™ borders. This will prevent the insulation from overflowing onto the attic floor and makes the attic look more organized.
Cleaning Up After the Bats & Adding Blown-In Cellulose to the Attic in Fair Haven, NJ
A short while ago, our Little Rascals Nuisance Wildlife Division successfully and safely removed all the bats from this homeowners attic in Fair Haven, NJ. Now, we're here to remove all the contaminated insulation and reinsulate the attic.
First, we removed all the contaminated insulation and then carefully vacuumed up all the bat droppings. Next, we disposed of them properly and disinfected the area. Afterward, we air sealed all the gaps and cracks in the attic. This will eliminate air flow between the living space and the attic, improving energy efficiency. Lastly, we added over 10 inches of TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation.
TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation has a higher R-value than standard fiberglass insulation, has the highest Class-1 fire safety rating, is resistance to mold and pests, and is eco-friendly! TruSoft is the perfect choice for attic insulation as it maximizes home comfort and optimizes energy usage for year-round peace and savings.
Fascia Board Blown Away & Birds Start to Roost There in Fair Haven, NJ
A short while ago, a nasty storm had blown a portion of the fascia boards right off this customers home in Fair Haven, NJ. A short while later, a few starlings came by and decided to nest in that area! This didn't make the homeowner happy and so he called Bird Solutions by Cowleys for help and we were sent out.
Once we arrived, the first thing we did was carefully remove all the nesting debris. Next, we disinfected the areas with an application that attacks and exterminates bird mites. What are bird mites exactly? They are semi-transparent parasites that feed on the blood of birds. Once the birds leave their nests, the mites are left behind without a host for their next blood meal, so they make their way into a home and then feed on the blood of you, your family, and your pets!
Lastly, we replaced the fascia board with sturdy metal flashing to exclude the area from all nuisance birds, bats, and other wildlife.
Bald-Faced Hornets Infesting the Attic in Fair Haven, NJ
One day, this homeowner in Fair Haven, NJ was cleaning out his attic when all of a sudden, he was attacked by a number of hornets! He quickly left the attic and took a look on the outside of his home. That's when he discovered a soccer-ball sized hornets nest about 50 feet up at the peak of his home. He called Cowleys for help and we were sent out.
Once we arrived and investigated the nest, we identified them as bald-faced hornets. Bald-faced hornets are social stinging insects that have white markings on their face. They're EXTREMELY aggressive and territorial. So aggressive that if anyone or anything comes within close proximity of their nest, they will attack! What makes them even scarier is they can actually sense vibrations in the air (when you mow your lawn) and remember their invader's face! Using our extendable pole, we treated the bald-faced hornet nest with a knockdown aerosol application.
A short while later, we injected a knockdown dusting application into the nest. Both of these treatments quickly exterminate the bald-faced hornets. After some time had passed, we removed the nest, disposed of it, and applied a liquid non-repellant residual to the area. As we removed the nest we noticed a small gap around a utility wire. This was how the hornets were getting into the attic! We sealed it up with a premium, waterproof adhesive. The residual that we applied will neutralize any bald-faced hornets that return to this area and prevent them, and any other stinging insect, from building a new nest.
