Great Kills Pest Control | Tick, Wildlife & Eco-Friendly Pest Specialists

Great Kills Park — a unit of Gateway National Recreation Area — borders many Great Kills neighborhood properties, and the deer that frequent the park carry deer ticks directly into residential yards. The harbor and marina area also creates tidal wetland habitat that supports active mosquito populations throughout the warm season. Many homes in Great Kills have mature trees and landscaped lots that provide additional tick and mosquito harborage near outdoor living areas. Older ranch homes and split-levels in the area can also develop foundation and crawl space vulnerabilities that attract mice and wildlife.

Tick activity in Great Kills peaks in late spring and early fall when deer tick nymphs and adults are most active. Mosquitoes are prominent from May through September, particularly near the harbor and in yards with any standing water. Mice and squirrels increase their indoor activity in fall, and stink bugs become a notable nuisance in late summer and early fall as they aggregate on home exteriors. Ants are active in spring and summer in landscaped yards and kitchen entry areas.

Our NYPMA-certified technicians apply plant-derived treatments to yard perimeters, shrub borders, and wooded edges — creating effective barriers against ticks and mosquitoes without harmful chemical residue near the harbor, parks, or wildlife. Same-day and next-day service covers all of Great Kills and the South Shore.
