Bobby Bugs provides licensed pest control in Lindenhurst, NY (ZIP 11757), with free written quotes and written guarantees on every job. Lindenhurst is about forty minutes from our base in Oyster Bay, down the Southern State or Route 109.
Lindenhurst is an incorporated village of 27,148 people on 3.75 square miles of the South Shore, bordered by Copiague to the west, West Babylon to the east, North Lindenhurst above the Southern State, and the Great South Bay below. German settlers founded it as Breslau, after the city in Silesia, and it was renamed Lindenhurst in 1891 and incorporated in 1923, so the village just passed its centennial. The oldest housing is on the streets around Wellwood Avenue and the LIRR station, prewar frame houses and bungalows with the original sills and porches that carpenter ants and termites have been working on for a century. The rest filled in after the war with capes and ranches on tight lots, and those get the same October mice as every postwar neighborhood on Long Island.
South of Montauk Highway is where Lindenhurst is different. The village runs down to the Great South Bay, and that ground is low. When Hurricane Sandy hit on October 30, 2012, water stood up to 6 feet high on the south side of Montauk Highway. A generation of rebuilt lower levels and lifted houses followed, and the gaps where new framing meets old foundations, plus the crawlspaces under raised homes, are where mice and rats get in now. The bay edge, with its docks, bulkheads and boat storage, is Norway rat habitat, and American cockroaches come up from the wet ground and drains on the low blocks. Wellwood Avenue and Montauk Highway restaurants keep rodents fed.
Bobby Bugs serves all of Lindenhurst, including North Lindenhurst, plus neighboring West Babylon, Copiague, Babylon and Amityville.
Because the docks and bulkheads down to the Great South Bay give Norway rats water, cover and burrow sites year round, and the restaurants on Montauk Highway and Wellwood Avenue give them food. Rat work in south Lindenhurst means interior trapping, sealing entry points along the foundation and bulkhead side, and locked exterior bait stations that we service, with a 60-day written guarantee.
Because a lifted or rebuilt house has new gaps: where the new framing meets the old foundation, around the crawlspace or flood vents, and at utility lines that were rerouted. Mice only need a gap the width of a pencil. Sealing those entry points is part of every Bobby Bugs mouse job, with a 60-day written guarantee.
American cockroaches, which come up from sewer lines, floor drains and the wet ground under the low-lying blocks south of Montauk Highway. They get treated at the drains and entry points, which is a different job from German roaches in a kitchen. Cockroach treatment carries a 60-day written guarantee.
