Before & After Photos

We received a call from the owner of a restaurant in Windsor, NJ complaining of drain flies throughout his trash room. When we arrived, we began inspecting the trash room and located a floor drain that hasn't been used in quite some time. Turns out, this was where the drain flies were coming from.

Also called sewer flies, drain flies are small, dark-winged, non-biting gnats that thrive in drains because of the fats, oils, and greases that go down every drain. The drain flies use this buildup as a food source, breeding ground, and habitat all in one. As long as there are fats, oils, and greases in the drain, drain flies will continue multiplying and invading the business.

For treatment, we applied a liquid application in this floor drain and, just to be on the safe side, all of the floor drains throughout the restaurant. Next, we scrubbed each one out with our heavy-duty scrubbing brush and then applied a bio-foam solution. This application removes all of the organic build-up, odors, and scum inside the drains. Next, we treated the high infestation areas with a fly bait to control the adult drain flies still hovering around. Lastly, we spoke to the owner and suggested a few new and effective cleaning protocols to prevent any future drain fly issues.

This homeowner in Kendall Park, NJ had squirrels living in his attic and even damaged a portion of his roof by chewing a hole in it! Previously, we safely retrieved all the squirrels from the home and relocated them to a new, humane environment. After disinfecting the area, we began to repair the damage.

First, we cut a piece of sturdy metal flashing and installed it over the opening. Next, we applied roof grit to the flashing to blend it in with the color of the roof. Afterward, we applied a premium adhesive to the area and spread it across the flashing in order to hold the roof grits in place. Now the roof is repaired and good as new!

This homeowner in Kendall Park, NJ kept hearing noises in his upstairs bathroom and was concerned that something was living inside his home, so he called Little Rascals for help. Once we arrived and began inspecting the property, we spotted some squirrels going in and out of a vent on the side of the home. Looks like the homeowner has a squirrel problem. We informed the owner who mentioned that the vent is old and use to connect to the bathroom.

We temporarily enclosed the area with hardware cloth, installed a one-way device in front of the exhaust vent, and set up several baited traps nearby. The one-way will allow the squirrel to safely leave the attic, but prevent them from getting back in. A short while later, we successfully retrieved the squirrels and relocated them to a new, humane location.  Additionally, we disinfected the area and installed a DryerWallVent®. The DryerWallVent® is made out of heavy-duty galvanized steel and its large opening and angled damper provide maximum airflow efficiency for safe venting. Integrated magnets keep the damper closed when not in use, preventing squirrels, birds, and all nuisance wildlife from infesting the home.

Not too long ago this customer in Kendall Park, NJ had some sparrows nesting in one of his exhaust vents. Our Bird Solutions team was dispatched to the property to safely remove the nuisance birds and, after setting up their devices, were able to successfully accomplish that goal!

After removing the sparrows, we then removed the nesting debris and then disinfected the area with a solution that targets bird mites. Bird mites are parasites that feed on the blood of birds. When birds leave their nests, the mites are left behind without a suitable host for their next blood meal and make their way into a home. Lastly, to prevent any future nuisance bird intrusions, we installed a Defender over each one of the dryer and exhaust vents. The Defender is the perfect choice to help keep out nuisance birds. While allowing free-flowing air movement, its patented design effectively blocks intrusion by using a system of bars instead of a screen under the hood.

With mice and other nuisance wildlife infestations, it is critical to find the potential entry points and seal them; otherwise, the infestation will never be permanently resolved. 

We carefully inspected the entire home, filling every hole we could locate with  spray foam. The before/after pictures highlight that the gaps that were once open are now closed off. During my inspection, I also noticed a large gap underneath the front door that would allow mice to enter. I installed rubber weather stripping to seal that potential route.
