Bobby Bugs provides licensed pest control in Sayville, NY (ZIP 11782), with free written quotes and written guarantees on every job. Sayville is about fifty minutes from our base in Oyster Bay, down the Sagtikos and Sunrise Highway, and we schedule it with our other South Shore stops so the drive never holds up a job.
Sayville is a bay-front hamlet of 16,569 people on 5.38 square miles, and it's older than almost anything around it. John Edwards settled here in 1761, the post office got its name in 1838 when the clerk spelled "sea" as "say" out of an old Bible, and after the South Side Railroad arrived in 1868 the place turned into a resort with more than 30 hotels. The housing shows it. The blocks around Main Street and the LIRR station are full of Victorian and prewar houses with original sills, wraparound porches, stone foundations and cedar shingle, the kind of wood that carpenter ants and subterranean termites have been finding for a century, and the kind of foundations that leak mice every October. The postwar capes and ranches north toward Sunrise Highway have the standard mouse and ant problems of every 1950s neighborhood on Long Island.
The bay is the other half. Sayville is the gateway to Fire Island, with ferries running from the waterfront to Cherry Grove and Fire Island Pines, and the marinas, ferry docks, bulkheads and boat storage along the Great South Bay are Norway rat habitat year round. The restaurants on Main Street keep them fed. The Sayville National Wildlife Refuge covers 127 acres of protected woods and field inside the hamlet, and the homes around it get the raccoons, opossums, squirrels, ticks and hornet nests that come with protected land. A fire on October 25, 2024 damaged six stores on Main Street, and rebuilt commercial space next to older buildings is exactly where roaches and mice move next door during construction.
Bobby Bugs serves all of Sayville and neighboring West Sayville, Bayport, Bohemia and Oakdale.
