Cowleys Pest Services Before & After Photos

This customer purchased a new property in Neshanic Station, NJ and was planning on renovating it. After returning to the home several weeks after the closing, he was shocked to discover a large yellow jackets nest on one of the living room windows! He had previously used Cowleys for one of his other properties, so he knew exactly who to call for help.

Once we arrived, we equipped our protective bee suit and inspected the area. During our inspection we discovered a crack in the framing of the window, which the yellow jackets used to enter the home. We told the owner and suggested that he replace the window once we're done treating, to which he agreed.

For treatment, we injected a knockdown aerosol application, waited several moments, and then injected a knockdown dusting product. Both of these treatments will exterminate the yellow jackets almost immediately. Once they were eliminated, we removed the nest, disposed of it, cleaned the area, and (as a temporary solution) sealed the crack in the window frame with a premium waterproof adhesive. 

Flying squirrels had made their way into this home in Gladstone, NJ and were making a mess in the customer's attic. After a thorough inspection of the home, we determined that the flying squirrels were squeezing through the eave of the home. We setup a one-way device over the entrance point, temporarily enclosed the area with hardware cloth, and installed several baited devices. The one-way device is going to allow the flying squirrels to leave the area safely but prevent them from getting back in. After a short period of time, we successfully retrieved all of the flying squirrels and took them to a safer and more humane environment.

We then disinfected the attic and, to prevent any future wildlife intrusions, we installed sturdy, metal flashing over the access point.

After purchasing her new home, this resident in Montgomery, NJ wanted to add some much-needed storage space in her crawl space. The issue was that her crawl space had a dirt floor and was filthy. She contacted our Contracting division and wanted us to encapsulated her crawl space.

First, we leveled the ground for proper draining and installed drainage matting. This material is a dimpled plastic mat that allows all excess moisture to work its way over to the new sump pump we installed. Next, we installed a vapor barrier, which is a heavy-duty, 20-mil 7-ply sandwich of high and low-density polyethylene with a polyester-cord reinforcement. It's extremely durable, treated with an antimicrobial to prevent mold, and is installed over the foundation walls and floor to create a continuous air and moisture barrier.

Afterward, we installed SilverGlo™ on the walls of the crawl space, which is a waterproof foam insulation that seals the walls from outside moisture and humidity. Lastly, we installed a Sani-Dry Sedona commercial-grade dehumidifier. The Sedona directs the extracted water pulled out of the air directly into the sump pump and will control the humidity levels in the crawl space.

This homeowner in Montgomery, NJ had enough of pigeons, starlings, and other nuisance birds defecating all over his roof, so he called Bird Solutions by Cowleys for help and we were sent out. Bird droppings are not only hazardous to your health, but they also eat away almost any substrate, particularly tar-based roofing material. A constant accumulation of pigeon droppings can cut the life expectancy of a roof in half.

In order to stop all nuisance birds from roosting on the roof, we installed Shock track. Shock track is a solar-powered, low-profile ledge deterrent system that is effective against all species of nuisance birds and utilizes the principle of fear and flight. The unique electrically charged tracks impart a mild electrical shock when birds land on them. The shock will not harm the nuisance birds but will condition them to avoid the area. The shock track gets affixed to roof, with no screws, and is connected to a solar-powered charger.

We also installed an Eagle Eye bird deterrent onto the roof and secured it in place. The light spectrum reflected back by the Eagle Eye disorient birds in flight by limiting their vision significantly. This causes the bird to deviate in flight and fly to another destination.

As this customer in Montgomery, NJ was cleaning off his back porch he got attacked by yellow jackets! Luckily he wasn't allergic to them. Since he is a Home Protection Plan customer, he called us up to come out and get rid of these territorial pests.

The first thing we did was inspect the back porch to find out exactly where the yellow jackets were coming from. Minutes into our investigation, we found it! The yellow jackets were emerging from a small opening underneath the deck where the wood meets the siding. We showed the owner and he mentioned that he will close off that opening on his own once we exterminate the yellow jackets.

So we injected a knockdown aerosol product directly into that opening. Shortly after, we then applied a knockdown dusting application. These treatments will quickly eliminate the yellow jackets. Some time later, we removed the nest, disposed of it, and applied a liquid residual to the area. This treatment is going to eliminate any yellow jackets that return to this opening and prevent them from building another nest.
