Bobby Bugs provides licensed pest control in Mineola, NY (ZIP 11501), for homes, apartments, and commercial buildings, with free written quotes and written guarantees on every job. Mineola is about twenty five minutes from our base in Oyster Bay, down Route 106 and Jericho Turnpike, and it's one of the closest central Nassau towns to our shop.
Mineola is the county seat of Nassau County, and that shapes the pest work more than people expect. About 20,800 residents live in under two square miles, which makes it one of the denser villages on Long Island, and a big share of the daytime population is commuters: the courthouse complex, whose cornerstone Theodore Roosevelt laid in 1900, the county office buildings, NYU Langone Hospital Long Island (the hospital that opened as Nassau Hospital in 1896), and an LIRR Main Line station that has been in service since 1839. That means office buildings, medical offices, law firms, delis and restaurants along Mineola Boulevard, Jericho Turnpike and Old Country Road, and they all carry the roach, mouse and fly pressure that comes with food and foot traffic. We handle a lot of commercial accounts here alongside the homes.
The housing is a mix. The village incorporated in 1906, and the older residential streets between Jericho Turnpike and the Garden City line are prewar and early postwar houses, capes and colonials with block foundations, plus a long-established Portuguese community of roughly 1,900 residents. Around the station, newer apartment buildings have added multifamily units to downtown, and new multifamily construction has its own pattern: German cockroaches and mice that arrive with move-in boxes and deliveries, then spread through the building on shared plumbing. Mineola sits on what was the Hempstead Plains, flat, dry, sandy ground where Glenn Curtiss made his 1909 record flights, and that sandy soil is easy digging for pavement ants, yellowjackets and, in the older houses, subterranean termites.
Bobby Bugs serves all of Mineola and neighboring Garden City, Williston Park, East Williston, Carle Place, Albertson and Roslyn Heights.
