Bobby Bugs provides licensed pest control in Throgs Neck, Bronx (ZIP 10465), with free written quotes and written guarantees on every job. Throgs Neck is about forty five minutes from our base in Oyster Bay, straight over the Throgs Neck Bridge, and it's the first stop on our Bronx route.
Throgs Neck is a peninsula with water on three sides: the East River, Long Island Sound and Westchester Creek, with the Bruckner Expressway closing the fourth. John Throckmorton settled it in 1642 and left it his name, Fort Schuyler went up between 1833 and 1856 and became the SUNY Maritime campus in 1932, and the bridge that opened in 1961 ended the peninsula's isolation and tied it to Long Island. About 44,000 people live across Throgs Neck, Schuylerville and Edgewater Park, and the housing is unlike the rest of the Bronx: detached and semi-detached houses, the 1920s bungalow colonies of Silver Beach and Edgewater Park with their small cottages on tight lots, waterfront condominiums, and a public housing complex from 1953.
Water and small old cottages are the pest story. The bungalow colonies and the waterfront streets, with seawalls, docks and boat storage on the river and the Sound, are Norway rat habitat year round, and the cottages themselves, built as summer places a century ago, have crawlspaces, original sills and gaps that mice find every October and carpenter ants and termites find every spring. The detached houses on the inland streets have the same pattern as the Nassau towns across the bridge. East Tremont Avenue is the commercial spine, with restaurants, delis and shops and apartments above them, and that carries the German cockroach and rat pressure, along with the co-ops and apartment buildings toward the Bruckner.
Bobby Bugs serves all of Throgs Neck, including Silver Beach, Edgewater Park and Schuylerville, plus neighboring Country Club, Pelham Bay and Castle Hill.

Because they were built as summer cottages a century ago, close together, on the water, with crawlspaces and original sills, and the seawalls, docks and boat storage along the river give Norway rats water, cover and burrow sites year round. Rat work in the colonies means interior trapping, sealing entry points along the foundation and seawall, and locked exterior bait stations that we service, with a 60-day written guarantee. Mouse work carries the same.
Yes. Co-ops and apartment buildings toward the Bruckner and along East Tremont Avenue are a regular part of our Throgs Neck work, mostly for German cockroaches and mice that move through shared walls and plumbing. We treat the unit and the adjoining voids, work with boards and managing agents on building-wide treatment, and roach and mouse work carries a 60-day written guarantee.
