Moth 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 moth control in Pelham Bay
Pantry moths breed in stored grains, flour, pet food and spices; clothing moths in wool, silk and stored natural fibres. The flying adults you see are the end of the cycle — the larvae doing the damage are in the food or fabric.
We locate and help you remove the infested source, then treat to interrupt the breeding cycle so the problem ends rather than recurring every few weeks.
