Natural mosquito control for Long Island. Handmade cedar bat houses, installed where they’ll actually work.
The kids come in covered in bites. The dog won’t sit on the patio. You’ve tried citronella, sprays, the propane fogger that smells like jet fuel. Nothing lasts more than a week, and you’re tired of dousing the lawn in chemicals your grandkids play on. There’s a better way, and it’s been flying over your head the whole time.
Every house is rough cedar, screwed and sealed by hand, and finished with non-toxic stain. They’ll outlast the warranty on your roof. Most folks tell me they look better than the mailbox the contractor put in.
Four steps. One season. From the first walk-through to a working colony, no babysitting required on your end.
Free. I come out at dusk, see where the bugs are bad, where the bats are already flying, and where the sun hits in summer. You get a plain-English plan, not a sales pitch.
Cedar, hand-cut in my shop in Suffolk. Sized for the little brown bats we have out here. Your name and a serial number go on the back.
Mounted 12 to 20 feet up, facing the right direction, holding the right temperature. I do this part myself. No subcontractors poking holes in your siding.
Scouts usually show up in a few weeks. By next summer you’ve got a colony, and the mosquitoes are someone else’s problem.
Wrong spot, wrong height, wrong sun, and bats won’t move in. I’ve done hundreds of these on Long Island. I know which corner of your yard catches the morning sun, where the mosquitoes breed, and where the bats are already flying at dusk. You don’t pay until they show up.
These are starting prices. The real number depends on your yard, and you won’t see it until I’ve actually walked the property. No surprise upsells.
Best for small yards
Most people pick this one
For bigger properties
No, and that’s the whole point. A bat house gives them a better spot than your attic, warmer, drier, right where they already fly. Putting one up is actually the best way to keep them out of the house.
No. Bats are shy. They don’t dive at people, they don’t bite unless cornered, and they want nothing to do with anyone in the yard. You won’t even see them most nights.
Scouts usually show up within a few weeks. A real colony, the kind that wipes out your mosquitoes, takes one to two summers. I’ll tell you straight if your yard is going to be slow.
They migrate or hibernate. The house stays put. Come spring they come back, usually with more bats than the year before.
All of Nassau and Suffolk, Great Neck out to Montauk. Small travel fee if you’re past Riverhead, that’s it.
If you don’t have a colony by the end of season two, I come back and re-site the house at no charge. I’ve only had to do that a handful of times.
We used to come inside by 7. Now we’re still out at 10 with the kids and not a bite. Wish we’d called him three summers ago.
Showed up when he said he would, did what he said he’d do, and the bats were there by July. That’s rare on Long Island these days.
I was skeptical. Two seasons in, my mosquito guy has nothing to do at my house. Money I’m happy I spent.
I’ll come walk your property, free, anywhere in Nassau or Suffolk. Reply within the hour.
