Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Bedminster, NJ, was mowing his lawn and trimming his shrubs when he suddenly got attacked by a number of yellow jackets! He ran inside and called Cowleys. Moments later, we were dispatched to assist the customer. When we arrived, the first thing we did was equip our protective bee suit (so we don't get stung) and then began looking for the nest.

After a few moments of searching the area where the owner got stung, we finally located the basketball sized nest! It was cleverly camouflaged in the bushes and would only be noticeable if you were looking for it! We injected a knockdown aerosol application into the nest. A short while later, we injected a knockdown dusting application. Both of these treatments are going to neutralize the yellow jackets almost immediately. After a few moments went by, we removed the nest carefully and disposed of it properly. 

This customer in Montgomery, NJ frantically called Little Rascals after spotting a raccoon entering his home through the gable vent! Once we arrived, we installed a one-way device over the main access point and enclosed the area, temporarily, with hardware cloth. The one way device is designed to allow the raccoon to leave the area, but prevent it from returning the same way. We also installed several baited devices nearby.

A short while later, we safely retrieved the raccoon! We relocated it to a new, humane environment and then focused our attention to the gable vent. Other raccoons, and nuisance wildlife, can still enter the home via the gable vent and cause some serious damage to the attic. To prevent this, we installed a louvered vent guard. The louvered vent guard 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 gable vent is properly protected from raccoons and all other nuisance wildlife!

This business in Lawrenceville, NJ had a large infestation of birds in the building. There were able to get in via several openings around the building. Apparently, the business owner had recently renovated the property and removed several utility pipes and exhaust vents. The only problem was that he forgot to seal them up! So the birds took full advantage and resided in these areas.

For treatment, we carefully removed all the nesting debris and then properly disinfected every single harborage point. Next, we placed sturdy metal flashing over all the holes in the building and painted them to blend in with the color of the exterior.

One evening, this homeowner in Far Hills, NJ heard some "odd noises" in her attic and suspected that something might have invaded her attic, so she called Little Rascals for help. As we inspected the property, we noticed an area of the soffit appeared to be damaged. So we took a closer look and determined that the damages were inflicted by raccoons. How did we know for sure? We also found raccoon paw prints near it.

First, we installed a positive set over the access point and temporarily enclosed it with hardware cloth. We also set up several baited devices nearby. A positive set is comprised of a nose cone, which will guide the raccoons into a two-gaited, heavy-duty device to it. This is called a positive set, because we are positive that the raccoons will have no other way to exit except through our device! Shortly after setting up our devices, we safely retrieved the raccoons and relocated them to a new, humane location.

Before we left, we went back to our trucks, fashioned a piece of sturdy, metal flashing, and installed in over the access point to prevent reinfestation.

After noticing a small, but active hornets nest on his soffit, this homeowner in Far Hills, NJ immediately called Cowleys for help and we were sent out. Once we arrived and took a closer look at the nest, we identified these stinging insects as bald-faced hornets. Bald-faced hornets are social stinging insects that are a close relative to yellow jackets. The surface of their upper midsection almost looks triangular from the side, and they have white markings on their face. They are EXTREMELY aggressive and will not hesitate to sting anything that invades their space. What makes them even scarier is they have smooth stingers, which means they can sting over and over again, can actually sense vibrations in the air, and remember their invader's face!

We treated the nest with a knockdown aerosol and a knockdown liquid application. Both of these products exterminate the bald-faced hornets almost immediately. A short while later, we removed the nest, properly disposed of it, and applied a liquid residual to the area to eliminate any returning bald-faced hornets and prevent any future bald-faced hornets from rebuilding their nest.
