Mosquito & tick control in Pelham Bay: what to know
Pelham Bay is dominated by Pelham Bay Park — at 2,772 acres, New York City's largest park. The park's extensive salt marsh, wetlands and woodland create intense seasonal mosquito and tick pressure for all residential areas bordering the park, with Orchard Beach's tidal edge generating the highest mosquito breeding density.
The mix of older detached and semi-detached homes in the Pelham Bay residential enclave near the park bring ant, stinging-insect and wildlife pressure; raccoons, opossums and skunks from the park regularly enter residential yards and seek attic access as temperatures drop.
City Island's working waterfront and seafood restaurants add fly and rodent pressure for businesses and homes on the island; the bridge connection means island pest populations can migrate to the adjacent mainland residential areas.

How we treat mosquito & tick control in Pelham Bay
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.
