Bobby Bugs provides licensed pest control in Forest Hills, Queens (ZIP 11375), for co-ops, apartments, and houses, with free written quotes and written guarantees on every job. Forest Hills is about fifty minutes from our base in Oyster Bay, in on the Long Island Expressway to Queens Boulevard.
Forest Hills is two neighborhoods in one. About 86,000 people live on 1,328 acres, and most of them are in the prewar apartment buildings and co-ops that line Queens Boulevard and the streets around the 71st Avenue station, brick buildings with shared walls, pipe chases, compactor rooms and basements. That's where the German cockroach and mouse work is, and it's building work, not apartment work: a single treated unit in an untreated building gets reinfested from the neighbors, so we treat the unit and the adjoining voids and work with co-op boards and managing agents to treat whole buildings. Austin Street, the main commercial strip, is dense with restaurants and shops, and the apartments above and behind them carry the heaviest roach and rat pressure.
The other Forest Hills is the Gardens. The Cord Meyer company bought six farms here in 1906 and named the place after Forest Park, and starting in 1908 Grosvenor Atterbury laid out Forest Hills Gardens, one of the first planned communities in the country, in Tudor Revival with stucco walls and red Ludowici clay tile roofs. The West Side Tennis Club moved here in 1914 and the U.S. Open was played at Forest Hills Stadium until 1978. Those century-old Tudors have original wood sills, half-timbered trim and slate and tile roofs over wood framing, and they sit on wooded lots, which is carpenter ant, termite and mouse territory, with squirrels and raccoons coming over from Forest Park and Flushing Meadows.
Bobby Bugs serves all of Forest Hills, including Forest Hills Gardens, plus neighboring Rego Park, Kew Gardens, Corona, Glendale and Middle Village.
Yes. Prewar co-ops and apartment buildings along Queens Boulevard and around 71st Avenue are the biggest part of our Forest Hills work, mostly for German cockroaches and mice. We treat individual units, and when the problem is building-wide we say so and work with the board or managing agent on a building treatment. Roach and mouse work carries a 60-day written guarantee.
Because houses built from 1908 onward have original wood sills, window frames and half-timbered trim that stay damp under stucco and tile, and the Gardens' mature trees keep colonies within a few feet of every house. Big black ants indoors in late winter or early spring mean a nest in the house. Carpenter ant treatment includes a free estimate and a 6-month written guarantee.
Yes. Restaurants and shops along Austin Street and Queens Boulevard, and the apartments above them, are a regular part of our Forest Hills work, mostly for German cockroaches, rats and mice around kitchens, basements and dumpsters. We schedule around service hours, put every job in writing, and roach, rat and mouse work carries a 60-day written guarantee.
