Bobby Bugs provides licensed pest control in Melville, NY (ZIP 11747), for homes, offices, and commercial buildings, with free written quotes and written guarantees on every job. Melville is about twenty minutes from our base in Oyster Bay, straight down Route 110 or the Northern State.
Melville has two lives. Along Route 110 it's one of Long Island's biggest office corridors, home to the U.S. headquarters of Canon, Nikon, Leviton, Henry Schein, MSC Industrial and Verint, plus Newsday and a large Estee Lauder operation, and around them are the smaller offices, medical practices, warehouses and restaurants that feed off that traffic. That's where the commercial pest work is: mice in loading docks and break rooms, German cockroaches in cafeterias and food service, rats behind dumpsters, and flies. Away from 110, Melville is a residential hamlet of 19,284 people on 12.11 square miles, wooded and hilly, with the same big-lot postwar colonials and contemporaries as Dix Hills next door.
The hills are the point. Melville sits on the Harbor Hill moraine, the ridge of glacial debris that forms the northern spine of Long Island, and about a mile north of the hamlet in West Hills County Park is Jayne's Hill, at roughly 400 feet the highest point on the island. The park's mixed deciduous forest, with its salamanders, turtles, chipmunks, squirrels and red foxes, backs onto the homes along Sweet Hollow Road and the streets off it. Those homes get the wildlife, the carpenter ants and the ticks that come with unbroken woods. The name itself is a pest story: the settlers called the area Sweet Hollow, likely for the honey bees and the honey found in the trees, and there are still wild bee and yellowjacket colonies in the old hollows and stumps every summer.
Bobby Bugs serves all of Melville, including the Route 110 corridor, and neighboring Dix Hills, Huntington Station, South Huntington, Plainview and Farmingdale.
Yes. Offices, medical practices, warehouses and restaurants along Route 110 are a regular part of our Melville work, mostly for mice, German cockroaches and rats around loading docks, break rooms and dumpsters. We schedule around business hours and put every job in writing. Roach and mouse treatments carry a 60-day written guarantee.
Because the park is unbroken mixed deciduous forest with a full wildlife population, and your yard is the edge of it. Carpenter ants nest in the dead wood and stumps and send colonies into damp wood in the house, and deer and mice carry ticks into the leaf litter at the property line. Carpenter ant work carries a 6-month written guarantee, and tick treatments are quoted in writing with a free estimate.
Usually a yellowjacket colony. Melville's old name was Sweet Hollow, for the bees and honey the settlers found in the trees, and the wooded lots here still hold ground nests and stump nests every summer. Yellowjacket nests in the ground get more aggressive as they grow through August. We treat the nest directly, with a 6-month written guarantee.
