Cowleys Pest Services Before & After Photos

After spotting a squirrel coming out of his property, this customer in Tinton Falls, NJ immediately called Little Rascals for help and we were sent out. As soon as we inspected the home, we immediately spotted their access point - a chewed out opening in the soffit! So we installed a one-way device over the access point, temporarily enclosed the area off with hardware cloth, and then set-up several baited devices nearby.

A one-way device allows the squirrels to safely leave an area but prevent them from getting back in. Not long after setting up our devices we safely retrieved all of the squirrels and took them to a new humane location. After that we then installed Pest-Blok over the damaged area of the soffit. Pest-Blok is a sturdy material that undergoes a silicone-protected polyester coating process, which makes it last longer. Additionally, it doesn't restrict the airflow to the attic & guards the home against squirrels, birds, and other nuisance wildlife.

This homeowner in Tinton Falls, NJ had a unique problem. A squirrel was getting into his home by squeezing through one of his exposed dryer vents on the outside of his property! In order to safely retrieve the squirrel we installed a one-way device over the dryer vent, temporarily enclosed the area off with hardware cloth, and set up a number of baited devices nearby. A one-way device is a device that will allow the squirrel to leave the area safely, but prevent it from getting back in. A short while after setting up our devices, we had successfully retrieved the squirrel!

We took the squirrel to a new, humane location and installed a DryerWallVent® over the dryer 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 squirrels, bats, birds, and all nuisance wildlife from infesting the home. 

A couple of raccoons had decided that the attic of this home in Wall Township, NJ, was a great place to reside in, so they did just that and the homeowner wasn't exactly a fan of that idea. So he called Little Rascals for help and we were sent out to safely remove and exclude them. 

Since the raccoons were entering the attic via the soffit-return, we installed a positive set over that area. This is comprised of a nose cone, which will guide the raccoons into a two-gaited, heavy-duty device that is attached to it. This is called a positive set, because we are positive that the raccoons will have no other way to exit except through our device! We also placed several baited devices nearby. A short while later, we successfully & safely retrieved the raccoons and relocated them to a new, humane environment.

We then went back to our trucks, fashioned a piece of sturdy metal flashing, and installed it over the soffit-return. We also disinfected the attic and installed a sturdy attic fan cover over the attic fan. The attic fan cover is made of heavy-duty 18 Gauge expanded Galvannealed steel mesh and will prevent raccoons, as well as all nuisance wildlife, from gaining access into the home via the attic fan.

A new client in Sea Girt, NJ, wanted Cowleys to add blown-in cellulose insulation to his attic. First, we removed all the old insulation and debris, disposed of them, and cleaned 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. Next, we installed Tight Shell Can Light Covers over the recessed lights in the attic. These are made of a fire-resistant material designed to stop unwanted air leakage through the recessed lights. 

Lastly, we added over 10 inches of TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation. This insulation has a higher R-value than standard fiberglass insulation, the highest Class-1 fire safety rating, 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.

After seeing one of our ads in the Clipper magazine, this homeowner in Sea Girt, NJ, decided to upgrade the insulation in his attic to blown-in cellulose insulation. After we inspected his attic and went over various options, he decided to have us air seal his attic and add TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation. 

First, we removed all the old fiberglass insulation as well as any debris in the attic and disposed of them. Next, we then 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, which will fill the attic to its recommended insulation levels. TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation has a higher R-value than standard fiberglass insulation, has the highest Class-1 fire safety rating, is resistant to mold and pests, and is eco-friendly!

Now, not only does the homeowner have a healthy and clean attic, but he will save a considerable amount of money on his energy bill!
