Bobby Bugs provides licensed pest control in Commack, NY (ZIP 11725), with free written quotes and written guarantees on every job. Commack is about thirty minutes from our base in Oyster Bay, straight out the Northern State or Jericho Turnpike.
Commack is a big hamlet, 36,536 people across 12.25 square miles, and it's split down the middle between the Town of Huntington and the Town of Smithtown, so the same house on one side of a street can be in a different town than its neighbor. It was farmland for most of its history. The Secatogue called it Winnecomac, "pleasant lands," the Methodist church went up in 1789 and is the oldest Methodist church building in New York State, and the Harned Brothers sawmill has been running since the 1840s. The farms are gone now, replaced by close to 11,900 housing units, mostly single-family colonials, ranches and splits with about 3.1 people per household, which is a lot of kitchens, garages and finished basements for mice to work through when the weather turns in October.
Four highways cut through the hamlet, the Long Island Expressway, the Northern State, the Sunken Meadow Parkway and Jericho Turnpike, and the retail along Jericho Turnpike and Commack Road is where the rat and German cockroach pressure sits, behind the restaurants and shopping centers and in the apartments and condos near them. The residential streets away from the turnpike are the classic central Suffolk mix: mature oaks and wooded buffers that feed carpenter ants, hornet nests high in the trees every summer, and the older wood-frame homes that give subterranean termites a sill plate to reach. Homes backing the wooded parcels along the parkways see the most squirrels and raccoons.
Bobby Bugs serves all of Commack, both the Huntington and Smithtown sides, plus neighboring Smithtown, Dix Hills, East Northport, Hauppauge, Kings Park and Brentwood.
