Mosquito & tick control in Dyker Heights: what to know
Dyker Heights is a relatively low-density neighbourhood of detached and semi-detached one- and two-family homes with gardens — a suburban-style housing stock that brings more ant, stinging-insect and occasional-invader pressure than denser Brooklyn neighbourhoods, with yards and mature trees providing nesting sites.
The 13th Avenue and 86th Street commercial strips anchor food-retail activity that drives rodent pressure into the surrounding residential streets; older homes with basements adjacent to these corridors are most vulnerable.
The Dyker Beach Golf Course on the neighbourhood's western edge creates a substantial green buffer that adds wildlife, tick and stinging-insect pressure for homes bordering the course perimeter.

How we treat mosquito & tick control in Dyker Heights
Mosquitoes and ticks turn a backyard, garden or building courtyard into a no-go zone in the warm months — and both carry disease (West Nile, Lyme). Standing water, shaded vegetation and leaf litter are where they breed and rest.
We treat the resting and breeding areas — dense shrubs, shaded perimeters, standing-water sources — to knock down the population and break the breeding cycle, with seasonal programmes that maintain protection through the summer.
