Cowleys Pest Services Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Gladstone, NJ, recently found herself with a raccoon infesting her attic. Fortunately, our Little Rascals Nuisance Wildlife Division was sent out and safely and successfully removed the raccoon from the home and relocated it to a new humane location. Now all that's left is to repair the damage that the raccoon had done to the home.

The raccoon actually had two access points, which were in two soffit areas above each of the downspouts. After we disinfected the attic, we installed sturdy metal flashing over each of the access points. Next, we installed a new portion of soffit over the metal flashing in order to blend it in better. Now the home is secured from raccoons and looks better than before! 

Starlings had infested this football stadium in Piscataway, NJ and were roosting in the concrete ceiling of one of the party decks. Since both management, staff, and football fans weren't too keen of getting bird droppings on them, Bird Solutions by Cowleys was sent out.

First, we carefully removed all of the nesting debris and then disinfected the areas with a solution that exterminates bird mites. Afterward, we removed the old material and installed bird netting. In order make sure the bird netting is secured, we used a stainless steel cable with net spikes and anchored it into the walls. We then locked the cables in place using copper ferrules and then installed turnbuckles which tighten the cable.

Bird netting is a 3/4 inch, heavy duty polyethylene bird netting that's used to humanely block the starlings from entering any unwanted areas. It creates an impenetrable barrier that denies the starlings, as well as all nuisance birds, access to these areas and removes the landing areas for them. The starlings are going to fly around, realize they can't enter, and move on. Now the stadium is properly excluded from all nuisance birds.

After we successfully & safely removed all the squirrels from this home in Bernardsvile, NJ, we're going to exclude them from the area that they were using to enter the home - the chimney. How are we going to do that? By installing a chimney cap over the chimney crown! This heavy-duty material is constructed out of 24 Gauge Top and Flange, and 18 Gauge Stainless steel!

Now the area is properly secured from not just squirrels, but all nuisance wildlife and nuisance birds too!

This customer in Bernardsville, NJ, has owned his home for over 40 years and decided it was time to upgrade the insulation in his attic, so he contacted our Attic Systems Division for assistance. After discussing various options, the owner decided to have us add TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation to his attic space.

Fiberglass can lose it effectiveness over time and leave gaps in your attic where air can escape. First, we carefully removed all the old insulation and properly disposed of it. We then placed several measuring sticks throughout the attic to ensure that the proper amount of R-value is added to 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.

Lastly, we added over 10 inches of TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation. TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation maximizes home comfort, has the highest Class-1 fire safety rating & is resistant to mold and pests.

Recently, we were sent out on a service call for a new customer in Bernardsville, NJ to treat and remove a hornets nest. The owner stated that the nest was "big" and it was attached to her downspout. Well, when we arrived and spotted the nest, we determined that the term "big" was an understatement! The nest was MASSIVE and full of angry bald-faced hornets!

Bald-faced hornets are one of the most aggressive and territorial stinging insects out there. If anything comes within close proximity to their nest, they will attack it! So we equipped our protective bee suit and treated the nest with a knockdown liquid and a knockdown dusting application. Both of these treatments will rapidly exterminate the bald-faced hornets.

A short while later we removed the nest, disposed of it, and then treated the area with a liquid residual. This application will neutralize any bald-faced hornets that return to the area as well as prevent them, and any other stinging insect, from building another nest.
