Sealing an Entry Point for Mice in Somerville, NJ
Recently, I was sent out on a service call to one of the condominium complexes we service in Somerville, NJ for a mice problem. When I arrived, I inspected the interior of the home and found mice droppings in the laundry room and office. I then inspected the exterior of the unit and, within minutes, I was able to find the entry point! There was a giant gap where the utility wires were leading into the home.
I carefully cleaned up all the droppings inside the home, stuffed all the openings with chew-proof stainless steel mesh, and then sealed them in place with a premium, waterproof adhesive. Lastly, I placed several Ready-to-Use rodent bait stations throughout the interior and along the exterior of the building. I'll return for several follow-up visits to monitor the rodent infestation and replenish the bait stations as needed.
Flying Squirrels Infesting Home in Belle Mead, NJ
A new customer in Belle Mead, NJ was having trouble with flying squirrels getting into his attic and destroying his insulation, so he contacted Little Rascals and we were sent out to investigate. After inspecting the property from top to bottom, we determined that the flying squirrels were infesting the home via the attic fan!
In order to safely remove them from the home, we temporarily sealed off the attic fan and installed a one-way device in front of it. The one-way device will allow the flying squirrels to safely leave the area but prevent them from getting back in. We also placed several baited devices nearby. A short while later, we successfully and safely retrieved all the flying squirrels in the home, relocated them to a new, humane environment, and disinfected the attic area.
To prevent any future intrusions from flying squirrels, we installed an attic fan cover over the attic fan. This material is made out of heavy-duty 18 Gauge expanded Galvannealed steel mesh. This won't just prevent flying squirrels from gaining access into the home, but all nuisance wildlife, bats, and nuisance birds!
Installing Bird Slope to Prevent Birds from Roosting in Gladstone, NJ
This homeowner in Gladstone, NJ was having issues with birds that were nesting on the small ledges by the joists. If not taken care of, the birds will continue to use these areas for nesting year after year
We carefully removed all the nesting debris, disinfected the area, and installed Bird Slope. Bird Slope is a physical bird deterrent used to block birds from landing or nesting on open ledges. Bird Slope's unique angled design makes it impossible for birds to land or nest in 90° areas such as ledges, window sills, or eaves making it an effective bird deterrent against all nuisance birds.
Yellow Jackets Found in the Exhaust Vent in Gladstone, NJ
A new customer in Gladstone, NJ spotted some yellow jackets flying around his master bathroom one morning and immediately called Cowleys for help. When we inspected the bathroom, we noticed a few yellow jackets hovering around the jacuzzi vent. So we opened it and a bunch of angry yellow jackets came flying out! We discovered that they were coming from a small space near the vent duct, so we treated that area with a knockdown aerosol application. We then went outside to check the exhaust vent to the jacuzzi, removed the vent cover, and found an active yellow jackets nest inside!
We treated that area with a knockdown dusting product, which will rapidly exterminate the yellow jackets. After several moments, we removed the nest and disposed of it. We then went back inside and treated the void around the vent duct with the knockdown dusting application.
Squirrels Running Around the Attic in Princeton Junction, NJ
This homeowner in Princeton Junction, NJ had suspected that she had squirrels in her attic, so she called Little Rascals to come out and inspect. When we arrived and inspected the roof, we found a chewed-out area by the soffit as well as squirrel hair stuck in it. If that wasn't enough, when we inspected the attic, we actually found the squirrel running around!
Since the chewed-out area was how the squirrel got in, we temporarily closed off the area with hardware cloth, installed a one-way device directly over the access point, and set up several baited devices nearby. The one-way allows the squirrel to safely leave the attic but prevents it from getting back in.
A short while later, we safely retrieved the squirrel! We then relocated it to a new, humane environment, disinfected the attic, and sealed up the soffit area with sturdy metal flashing.
