Before & After Photos

After noticing a rather large amount of fruit flies infesting his kitchen, this business owner in Beach Haven, NJ called Cowleys for help and we were sent out. As we began inspecting the kitchen, we noticed that several of the floor drains were overflowing with gunk and discarded liquids. As we continued our inspection to the sink room, we found several more dirty floor drains! This is what was contributing to the fruit fly problem!

For treatment, we applied a liquid application to all the floor drains and then scrubbed each one of them out with our scrubbing brush. Afterward, we applied a bio-foam solution into each one of the floor drains. This application removes the organic build-up, odors, and scum in the drains, which the fruit flies breed in. Next, we treated the high infestation areas with a fly bait to control the adult fruit flies that were still flying around and then installed several fruit fly traps.

The attractant in the traps draws the fruit flies close and the bait inside the traps exterminates them within moments of contact. Lastly, we scheduled several follow-up visits to monitor the fruit fly activity and apply any additional treatments if necessary. Before we left, we spoke to the owner and mentioned a couple of sanitation procedures to put in place in order to prevent any future infestations from fruit flies or any other pests.

This homeowner in Long Beach Island, NJ had a family of squirrels nesting in the exterior shower ceiling of his property. So he called Little Rascals for help and we were sent out. After inspecting the area, we immediately noticed a large opening around the pylon. So we installed a one-way device over that access point, enclosed the area off with hardware cloth temporarily, and then set up several baited devices nearby. The one-way will allow the squirrels to leave the area but prevent them from returning.

After a short period of time, we successfully retrieved the entire family of squirrels and took them to a new, safer location. To prevent any future nuisance wildlife intrusions in this area, we installed sturdy white metal flashing to blend in with the pylon.

Recently, we were sent out to an adult community in Pine Beach, NJ to eliminate an active bald-faced hornets nest in the garden area. 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're EXTREMELY aggressive and territorial. They won't hesitate to sting anything or anyone that invades their space.

After equipping our protective bee suit, we found the nest hanging in one of trees. We liberally treated the nest with a knockdown liquid product and a knockdown aerosol application. Both treatments will exterminate the bald-faced hornets quickly. A short while after, we removed the nest, and the branch it was attached to, and disposed of them both properly.

This customer in Lanoka Harbor, NJ had squirrels harboring in his chimney. How did he know? He spotted one roaming around his fireplace! Fortunately, it didn't get inside his home. He contacted Little Rascals for help and we were sent out. 

Since the squirrels were getting in via the chimney, we set up a one-way device over the top of it and temporarily enclosed the area off with hardware cloth. We then installed several baited devices nearby. The one-way device will allow the squirrels to leave the chimney safely while also preventing them from getting back in. A short while after setting up our devices, we successfully retrieved all of the squirrels and took them to a safer location.

To prevent any future nuisance wildlife or even bird infestations, we installed a chimney cap. This heavy-duty material is constructed out of 24 Gauge Top and Flange, and 18 Gauge Galvanized Mesh and is designed to prevent access to the chimney from all nuisance wildlife, bats, and birds.

A few squirrels had squeezed through the gable vent of this home in Lanoka Harbor, NJ and were making a huge mess in the attic! Since the spaces in the gable vent were wide and unprotected, this was how the squirrels were able get into the home. A short while after setting up our retrieval devices, we safely retrieved all the squirrels and took them to a new, humane location.

After that we disinfected the attic, went to our trucks, fashioned some Pest-Blok, and installed it over the gable vent. Pest-Blok doesn't restrict the airflow, undergoes a silicone-protected polyester coating process that makes it last longer, and guards the gable vent against squirrels, bats, and all nuisance wildlife. The gable vent is now properly excluded from squirrels.
