Yellow Jackets Nest Hidden Well in the Bushes in Brick, NJ
This homeowner in Brick, NJ was mowing his lawn one warm, sunny morning when all of a sudden, he was attacked and stung by several yellow jackets! Fortunately, he was a Home Protection Plan customer, so he stopped what he doing and called Cowleys for help.
When we arrived, we equipped our protective bee suits and began inspecting the area where the owner was attacked. Several moments into our inspection, we found a large yellow jackets nest in the bushes! They were expertly hidden and the owner, nor his family, had any idea they were there!
So we injected a residual aerosol application into the nest, waited a few moments, and then injected a residual dusting product. These treatments exterminate the yellow jackets quickly. A few moments later, we removed the nest & the branch it was attached to and disposed of them properly.
Installing New Gable Vents to Keep Wildlife & Pests Out in Brick, NJ
Previously, this customer in Brick, NJ had bats in her attic. They were able to get into that area by squeezing through the gable vents. After installing our retrieval devices, we safely removed all the bats from the property.
After removing all the bat guano out of the attic and disinfecting the area, we removed the old gable vents (since they were damaged) and replaced them with a louvered vent guard. A 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! The best part is that it properly secures the gable vents from any future intrusions from bats, birds, pests, and all nuisance wildlife!
Stopping the Mice From Getting Into the Business in Eatontown, NJ
We're returning to this business in Eatontown, NJ to check up on the mice activity in the basement. As we inspected our rodent bait stations, we did find some activity in a number of them. So we replenished the bait in each and every station throughout the basement, the main areas of the office, and around the exterior of the building.
Once that was done, we stuffed each and every opening that the mice were and could be using around the building with chew-proof metal mesh. Next, we sealed them in place with a waterproof, premium adhesive. Finally, we scheduled several additional follow-up visits to replenish the bait stations until the mice are gone for good.
New Homeowner Wants New Insulation in Attic in Shrewsbury, NJ
After purchasing his dream home in Shrewsbury, NJ, this customer wanted his attic to be reinsulated with blown-in cellulose insulation. So he contacted our Attic Systems division for help and we were sent out.
Since most of the fiberglass insulation was no longer efficient, due to age and other factors, we removed it all and disinfected the attic. Next, we installed Tight Shell Can Light Covers over all the recessed lights throughout the area. These are made out of a fire resistant material and is specifically designed to stop unwanted air leakage through the recessed lights. Once that was done we started air sealing every single gap and crack in the attic. This eliminates air flow between the living space and the attic.
We then placed several measuring sticks throughout the attic, to ensure that the proper amount of R-value is added, and then added over 10 inches of TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation. TruSoft fills the attic to its recommended insulation levels, maximizes home comfort, has the highest Class-1 fire safety rating, is resistant to mold and pests, is eco-friendly, and optimizes energy usage for year-round peace and savings! Now the homeowner has a newly insulated, energy efficient attic.
Bald-Face Hornets Start Investing in Shrewsbury, NJ
We were called out to a business in Shrewsbury, NJ to treat for wasps. Once we arrived, we spotted the nest nestled right in between the lettering of the business name, about 20 feet up! We took a closer look and were able to identify them as bald-faced hornets. These stinging insects won't waste a single moment to attack or sting anyone or anything that comes close to their nest.
To eliminate them, using our extendable pole, we injected a knockdown dusting application directly into the opening of their nest. After several moments, we also injected a knockdown liquid application. These treatments will exterminate the bald-faced hornets almost immediately. Before we left, we applied a liquid non-repellant residual to the area where the nest was. This will neutralize any bald-faced hornets that return to this area and prevent them, and any other stinging insect, from building a new nest.
