Cowleys Pest Services Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Titusville, NJ, had mice infesting his crawl space. After a thorough inspection, we determined that the mice were able to enter the home through the tiny gaps that were around the utility pipes.

First, we carefully cleaned up all the rodent droppings and then installed several rodent bait stations throughout the crawl space and around the exterior of the home. Afterward, we stuffed each opening with chew-proof Xcluder® Fill Fabric. This material will form a firm and tight barrier to keep the mice out. Afterward, we sealed the Xcluder® Fill Fabric in place with a premium, waterproof adhesive. Once we finished, we scheduled several follow up visits to continue to monitor the bait stations and replenish the bait in the bait stations as needed.

This house in Pennington had a piece of fascia that had blown off during a recent storm. The fascia is the vertical finishing edge that caps the end of the rafters.When we arrived at the home and inspected the needed repair, the missing fascia board reminded me of a missing tooth. To me, the gap in the fascia made the home look sad.  

The Cowleys home improvement crew did its own version of a “dental implant” and replaced the missing piece. After we were done, the house looked as good as new and, even better, the homeowner was all smiles when admiring the completed job!  

This homeowner in Pennington, NJ was having a mice infestation in her home - particularly in the laundry room. One of our pest control technicians was sent out and had determined that the door frame to the back door was rotten and allowing the mice to squeeze underneath the door and enter the home. He then set up several rodent bait stations and contacted our Little Rascals Nuisance Wildlife division to come out and replace the door frame. So we were sent out to do just that!

First, we removed the old rotten door frame, replaced it, and then installed sturdy metal flashing to prevent the mice from getting into the home this way.

These homeowners in Hopewell, NJ. found themselves with a raccoon infestation on their property. While the raccoons did not make their way inside the home, it is stressful even to see these large animals scavenging around your property. Here, they were crawling in and out of storm drains around because the grates had a gap that was large enough for the raccoons to gain access. 

Wildlife has a way of exploiting weaknesses in a structure in order to gain entry. Often, its water-saturated, rotting fascia, soffit boards, or roof shingles. Other times, the weakness is a structural opening like chimneys or storm drains that do not have an adequate protective covering to block access. For this homeowner, I installed six storm grate covers that would keep out raccoons and other larger wildlife from entering the drains. I’m confident that by blocking these gaps, the raccoons will move off the property to find another home.

Unfortunately, we weren't able to get a good before image, so here we show a typical open storm drain.

Previously, a raccoon had broken into this homeowners attic via the gable vent. Each of the gable vents were dry rotted, which made it easier for the raccoon to break into the home. After we safely removed and relocated the raccoon to a new, humane environment, we disinfected the attic area and removed the old, broken gable vents and replaced them with a new, sturdy one and screened them off to prevent any nuisance wildlife from gaining access into the home.

Now the home is properly protected from all nuisance wildlife!
