Bobby Bugs provides licensed pest control in Flushing, Queens (ZIP 11354, 11355, 11358), for apartments, co-ops, houses and restaurants, with free written quotes and written guarantees on every job. Flushing is about forty minutes from our base in Oyster Bay along Northern Boulevard or the Long Island Expressway.
Flushing is one of the densest and busiest places we serve. The core neighborhood held about 72,000 people at the 2010 census and around 176,000 counting its subsections, and the corner of Main Street and Roosevelt Avenue is the third-busiest intersection in New York City, behind only Times Square and Herald Square. Downtown is the 7 train terminal, the LIRR station, and block after block of restaurants, food courts, bakeries and markets in its Chinatown and Koreatown, with apartment buildings, co-ops and new high-rise condos stacked above and around them. That density is the pest story. German cockroaches and mice move between units through shared walls, pipe chases and trash rooms, rats work the dumpsters and basements behind the restaurants, and a single treated unit in an untreated building gets reinfested. We treat the unit and the adjoining voids and work with landlords and property managers to treat buildings as a whole.
Flushing is also one of the oldest places in the city. It was founded as Vlissingen in 1645, the Flushing Remonstrance of 1657 was signed here, and the Bowne House from about 1661 and the Kingsland Homestead from 1785 still stand. Away from downtown, Murray Hill, Queensboro Hill and the streets toward Bayside are single-family houses, attached and detached, many from the 1920s through the 1950s, with the sills, foundations and slabs that termites, carpenter ants and pavement ants find. Flushing Meadows Corona Park covers 897 acres on the west side and Kissena Park 234 acres in the middle, and the homes along both get raccoons, squirrels and mosquitoes off the parks and Flushing Creek.
Bobby Bugs serves all of Flushing, including Murray Hill and Queensboro Hill, plus neighboring Bayside, Whitestone, College Point, Corona, Fresh Meadows and Kew Gardens Hills.
