Mosquito & tick control in Prospect Park South: what to know
Prospect Park South is the landmarked enclave of grand freestanding Victorian houses at the heart of Victorian Flatbush — large, century-old timber-framed homes on Albemarle and Buckingham Roads. Their age, wood construction, porches, basements and detached yards make them prone to carpenter ants, rodents, occasional wildlife (squirrels, raccoons) and termite issues rather than the dense-apartment roach pressure of surrounding blocks.
Mature street trees, deep gardens and proximity to Prospect Park add strong seasonal pressure from ants, mosquitoes, ticks and stinging insects through the warmer months.
Where these homes have been carved into rental units, shared walls and old plumbing also let mice and 'water bugs' move between apartments — so treatment here ranges from single-family exclusion work to multi-unit programs.
Signs you need mosquito & tick control
- Mosquitoes making a yard, patio or courtyard unusable

- Ticks on pets or in tall grass and shaded vegetation
How we treat mosquito & tick control in Prospect Park South
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.
