Bobby Bugs provides licensed pest control in East Hampton, NY (ZIP 11937), for year-round homes, seasonal houses, and estates, with free written quotes and written guarantees on every job. East Hampton is about an hour and forty minutes from our base in Oyster Bay, about 100 miles from Manhattan, and it's the eastern end of the East End blocks we schedule together.
East Hampton Village was founded in 1648 by Puritan settlers from Massachusetts as a farming, fishing and whaling town, incorporated in 1920, and calls itself America's Most Beautiful Village. It's small, 1,517 year-round residents on 4.77 square miles of land, but that number rose 40 percent between 2010 and 2020 as seasonal houses turned into year-round homes, and the summer crowd is far bigger. The village runs from Main Street down to Main Beach, Georgica Beach and Egypt Lane Beach on the Atlantic, with the Maidstone Club and the dunes along the ocean. Hook Windmill, built by Nathaniel Dominy V in 1806, still stands on North Main Street, and the houses around it are some of the oldest on Long Island.
For pest work, East Hampton is two problems at once. The historic houses have hand-hewn sills on fieldstone, cedar shingle and centuries of additions, and the shingle-style estates near the ocean have acres of cedar, porches, pool houses and guest cottages, all softened by salt air into carpenter ant and carpenter bee habitat, with subterranean termites reaching the wood at grade. And most of the housing is seasonal, which means mice get seven quiet months in a closed kitchen and a wasp nest in a pool house goes unnoticed until June. The wooded lots, hedgerows and privet that give the village its privacy keep ticks, deer, raccoons and hornet nests close to every house, and the ponds and dune marshes breed mosquitoes. We do pre-season openings and off-season checks out here and work with caretakers and property managers.

Yes. Most of our East Hampton work is scheduled through caretakers and property managers for houses the owners aren't in, including pre-season openings, off-season checks and treatments between guests. We put every job in writing, send photos of what we found and sealed, and every treatment carries our written guarantee.
Because salt air and ocean weather strip and soften cedar shingle, trim, fascia and porch rails faster than anywhere inland, and weathered, unpainted cedar is exactly what carpenter bees bore into. Round half-inch holes with sawdust below them each spring are the sign, and each female drills a new gallery every year if the wood is left untreated. We treat and plug the galleries, with a 1-year written guarantee.
Usually squirrels or raccoons, sometimes both, because a house that sat closed all winter with wooded lots and privet on every side is an easy target. Daytime scampering is squirrels, nighttime thumping is a raccoon. Nesting removal includes sealing the entry with wire mesh and carries a 6-month written guarantee.
