Before & After Photos

Recently, we were sent out to a home in West Windsor, NJ to treat for hornets. We were informed that the nest was located on the bottom of the customers ladder, so that's where we inspected. As we took a closer look at them, we identified them as bald-faced hornets. Bald-faced hornets are social stinging insects that have white markings on their face. They're EXTREMELY aggressive and territorial. So aggressive that if anyone or anything comes within close proximity of their nest, they will attack! What makes them even scarier is they can actually sense vibrations in the air (when you mow your lawn) and remember their invader's face!

First, we injected a knockdown dusting application into the nest, waited a few moments, and then injected a knockdown aerosol application. Both of these applications quickly exterminate the bald-faced hornets. Several moments after applying these products, we removed the nest and disposed of it properly. 

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.

A new customer in Plainsboro, NJ called Cowleys after hearing some scratching and "other odd noises" in her kitchen, so we were sent out to investigate. As we inspected the kitchen, we noticed some rodent droppings near the stove. So we asked the homeowner to move it. As soon as she did, we found a massive buildup of mice droppings and candy wrappers behind the stove. 

Apparently the mice were stealing the candy from the bowl on top of the counter and bringing it behind the stove! There was also an opening around the gas pipe that lead outside, which also had a wide opening around it. This was how the mice were able to get into the home! First thing we did was carefully vacuum up all the mice droppings behind the stove. After that, we installed several rodent bait stations throughout the kitchen, behind the stove, and in several locations around the exterior of the home.

The last thing we did was schedule a number of return visits to monitor the infestation and replenish the bait stations as needed. On our next visit, we're going to properly close off all the openings inside and outside of the property that the mice are using to infest the home. 

The homeowner in Plainsboro, NJ had a wildlife issue. Several squirrels were harboring inside her chimney! So she reached out to Little Rascals for help and we were sent out. After setting up our recovery devices, after a short period of time, we retrieved the squirrels safely and took them to a new, humane location.

We then disinfected the area and installed a chimney cap over the chimney. This heavy-duty material is constructed out of 24 Gauge Top and Flange, and 18 Gauge Galvanized Mesh. It is designed to prevent access to the chimney from all nuisance wildlife, birds, and bats. Now the home is properly secured!

One day, this homeowner was cleaning out his shed to get ready for the summer. As he was cleaning it out, he saw a fox stick its head out from under his shed and then go back underneath it! He immediately went inside and called Little Rascals Nuisance Wildlife Removal for help. Once we arrived and examined the shed, we found the main burrow that the fox was using to go underneath the shed.

First, we dug a 12 inch deep trench and then installed hardware cloth around the entire perimeter of shed. The hardware cloth is installed 12 inches deep and 12 inches out from the bottom of the shed. This creates a sturdy "L shaped" perimeter that will prevent foxes, and other nuisance wildlife, from digging and nesting underneath the shed. Afterward, we cut a portion of the hardware cloth that was over the main burrow, installed a one-way device directly over it, and set up several baited devices nearby. The one-way device allows the fox to safely leave the shed, but prevent it from getting back in.

Once we retrieve the fox, we're going to relocate it to a new, humane location, fill in the burrow, and install another piece of hardware cloth over the opening.
