Bobby Bugs provides licensed pest control in Manhasset, NY (ZIP 11030), with free written quotes and written guarantees on every job. Manhasset is about twenty five minutes from our base in Oyster Bay.
Manhasset sits at the base of the Cow Neck peninsula on the Harbor Hill Moraine, with Manhasset Bay and Whitney Pond at the bottom of the hill and neighborhoods like the Strathmores, Munsey Park, Plandome, Shorehaven, and Terrace Manor climbing up from it. A large share of the housing is prewar: 1920s and 1930s Tudors, center-hall colonials, and Dutch colonials with slate roofs, fieldstone foundations, and original wood sills. Those homes are beautiful and they are also exactly what mice, carpenter ants, and termites look for, because old masonry has gaps and old wood holds moisture.
The bottom of the valley is the wet side of town. Homes near Whitney Pond, Manhasset Valley Park, and the bay deal with rats, moisture pests, and mosquitoes, and the restaurants along Plandome Road and the Miracle Mile keep rodents fed in the blocks around them. Up the hill, the mature trees on the older streets bring carpenter ants into porches and window frames and hornets into the eaves every summer.
Bobby Bugs serves all of Manhasset and the villages of Munsey Park, Plandome, Plandome Heights, Plandome Manor, Flower Hill, and North Hills.
Because 1920s and 1930s Tudors and colonials have fieldstone foundations, original wood sills, and decades of utility work that left gaps a mouse can fit through, and a mouse only needs an opening the width of a pencil. Once nights drop into the 40s in October, mice move in through those gaps. Every Bobby Bugs mouse job includes sealing them with steel mesh, and it carries a 60-day written guarantee.
Yes. The low, wet end of Manhasset near the bay, Whitney Pond, and Manhasset Valley Park gives Norway rats water and cover, and the restaurants on Plandome Road and the Miracle Mile give them food. Rat work in those blocks usually means interior trapping, sealing entry points along the foundation, and locked exterior bait stations, with a 60-day written guarantee.
Yes. Manhasset's older housing combines original wood sills and foundations with the moisture that runs down the moraine toward the bay, which is the combination subterranean termites need. A termite inspection is a flat fee quoted in writing, and if treatment is needed it carries a written guarantee of 1 to 2 years depending on the treatment.
