Bobby Bugs provides licensed pest control in Plainview, NY (ZIP 11803), with free written quotes and written guarantees on every job. Plainview is about fifteen minutes from our base in Oyster Bay.
Plainview is one of the clearest examples of the postwar building boom on Long Island: the hamlet went from about 1,100 people in 1950 to more than 35,000 by 1960, almost all of it in split-levels, ranches, and capes built on former farmland. Roughly 27,000 people live here today in about 5.7 square miles, which makes Plainview one of the denser suburbs in Nassau County. Dense, same-era housing means pests move easily from house to house, so when one block gets mice in the fall, the neighbors usually do too.
The classic Plainview split-level has a lower level partly below grade, an attached garage, and a patio or deck off the kitchen. Those three features drive most of the calls we get here: mice through the garage and the lower-level utility entries, pavement ants and odorous house ants through the patio slab and kitchen, and paper wasps and yellow jackets under decks and in soffits. Homes bordering the Plainview-Old Bethpage Community Park and the preserved Shattuck parkland see more carpenter ants and wildlife from the tree cover.
Bobby Bugs serves all of Plainview and Old Bethpage, plus neighboring Hicksville, Bethpage, Syosset, Woodbury, and Melville across the Suffolk line.
Because pavement ants and odorous house ants nest under the patio slab, driveway, and foundation, and in spring they follow the warmth and food into the kitchen through the slab joints and the gap behind the sliding door. Spraying the trail kills the workers but not the colony. Bobby Bugs treats the nest and the entry points, and ant work carries a 90-day written guarantee.
They tend to. Split-levels have a lower level partly below grade with utility lines coming in through the wall, plus an attached garage, and both are easy entry points for mice once nights get cold in October. Sealing those points with steel mesh is part of every mouse job, which is why it carries a 60-day written guarantee.
Every Bobby Bugs job is a flat price quoted in writing before any work starts, and for most pests we can quote over the phone. There are no monthly contracts and no surprise charges. Call (516) 509-6001 with the pest and the type of home and you'll have a number in a few minutes.
