Bobby Bugs provides licensed pest control in Westbury, NY (ZIP 11590), including New Cassel, Salisbury and Carle Place, with free written quotes and written guarantees on every job. Westbury is about twenty minutes from our base in Oyster Bay, straight down Route 106 and 107, which makes it one of the fastest response areas we have.
Westbury is one of the oldest settled places in Nassau County and one of the fastest built out. Quaker families settled the Hempstead Plains here in 1658, the railroad arrived in 1837, and Post Avenue grew into the village's commercial center, but the housing most people live in today came in one rush. The village population went from 4,525 in 1940 to 14,757 in 1960, and by the mid-1950s the buildable land was gone. That means the bulk of Westbury's roughly 15,900 residents live in postwar capes, ranches and split-levels that are now 65 to 75 years old, with the original slab or block foundations, aging sill plates and decades of added decks, sheds and finished basements. That's the profile we see the most mice, carpenter ants and termites in anywhere on Long Island. The village also has a large Caribbean community, with Haitian, Guyanese and Jamaican families, and the two-family and multifamily housing along and around Post Avenue and in New Cassel carries the roach and rodent pressure that comes with denser living.
The other thing that sets Westbury apart is the Old Country Road corridor. The Roosevelt Raceway site, which hosted the 1936 Vanderbilt Cup and then harness racing from 1940 until it closed in 1988, is now a run of big-box retail, a movie theater, a Home Depot and large apartment and condo complexes including Meadowbrook Pointe, Archstone and Avalon. Big retail loading docks and restaurant rows are exactly where Norway rats and German cockroaches build up, and the apartment and condo units next door give them somewhere to go. On the residential side, homes in Salisbury and along the Old Westbury line back up to the estates and wooded parcels north of the village, where carpenter ants, squirrels and raccoons come from.
Bobby Bugs serves all of the Westbury postal zone, including New Cassel, Salisbury and Carle Place, plus neighboring Old Westbury, Jericho and East Meadow.
