Before & After Photos

We were recently sent out to a home in Middletown, NJ, to treat for yellow jackets. Apparently, a swarm of yellow jackets was discovered as the homeowner was renovating the living room. Once we arrived, we equipped our protective bee suit, and began inspecting the living room. That's when we noticed the humongous yellow jackets inside the wall! Judging by its size, it's been there for quite some time!

For treatment, we injected a knockdown aerosol application into the nest, waited a few moments, and then injected a knockdown liquid application. Both of these treatments will quickly exterminate the yellow jackets. After a short period of time, we removed the large nest and properly disposed of it. Now the owner can safely continue with his renovations.

After spotting a fox roaming around his property on his Ring camera, this homeowner in Middletown, NJ looked up a reputable and local wildlife company, came across Little Rascals, and scheduled an appointment with us. As we inspected the entire property we discovered that the fox had damaged the lattice underneath the front porch and was hiding underneath that area. We also discovered another area in the back of the home that was damaged by fox.

First, we installed a positive set over the two main access points and temporarily enclosed the areas off with hardware cloth. A positive set is comprised of a nose cone that is attached to a two-gaited, heavy-duty device. The nose cone will safely guide the fox into the device. It's called a positive set, because we are positive that the fox will enter our devices! Sure enough, after a short period of time, we safely retrieved the fox and relocated it to a new, humane environment.

In order to prevent any future intrusions from foxes, or any other nuisance wildlife, we dug a 12 inch deep trench and then installed hardware cloth. The hardware cloth is installed 12 inches deep and 12 inches out from the bottom of the home. This creates a sturdy "L shaped" perimeter that will prevent foxes and other nuisance wildlife from digging and nesting underneath the home.

We also installed a new vinyl lattice and installed more hardware cloth over the lattice. Now the home is secured from any future nuisance wildlife intrusions.

As we were treating this commercial property in Middletown, NJ we noticed some yellow jackets hovering around an area on the lawn. We took a closer look and discovered that the yellow jackets had an in-ground nest in this area!

Yellow jackets construct paper-like nests underground that may contain thousands of larvae and adult workers! Foraging ground-nesting yellow jacket workers could come in contact with people who hangout in their backyard or are just mowing their lawn and (since yellow jackets are territorial) attack the unsuspecting victims over and over again!

For treatment, we injected a residual dusting application directly into the burrow. This application neutralizes the yellow jackets almost immediately. A few moments later, we dug up the nest, disposed of it properly, and then filled in the burrow.

This was a scary situation for this homeowner in Island Heights, NJ. Yellow jackets were pouring out of her bathroom ceiling! She immediately called Cowleys for help and we were sent out. After we equipped our protective bee suit, we entered the bathroom and started treatment. First, we injected a knockdown aerosol application and then applied a knockdown dusting product. Both of these applications are going to exterminate the yellow jackets quickly.

After some time had passed, we removed the nest and disposed of it properly. 

A new customer in Brick, NJ, called our Nuisance Wildlife division needing help to remove a squirrel in his attic. Once we arrived and inspected the exterior of the home, we determined that the squirrel was entering the attic via the weathered gable vent. Nuisance wildlife infesting a home via the gable vents is very common. Over time, the gable vents get weathered and raccoons, squirrels, birds, and bats have no problem ripping away these vents to find shelter inside a home.

In order to safely retrieve the squirrel, we installed a one-way device over the main access point and temporarily enclosed it with hardware cloth. We also installed several baited devices nearby. The one-way is designed to allow the squirrel to safely leave the attic area, but prevent them from getting back in. A short while later, we successfully retrieved the squirrels and relocated them to a new, humane location. 

Afterward, we disinfected the attic area, removed the broken gable vent and replaced it with a louvered vent guard. This material is made out of heavy-duty Galvannealed steel (which means it won't rust) and is customized to accommodate vents of all shapes and sizes. Now the home is properly protected from not just squirrels, but all nuisance wildlife and pests!
