About Mosquito Hunters of Valley Stream-Oceanside-West Hempstead
The south shore holds its water close — Mill River, the tidal creeks, the low marsh ground behind Valley Stream — and in July that water sends mosquitoes into every backyard at dusk. Mosquito Hunters of Valley Stream-Oceanside-West Hempstead treats those yards on a season-long schedule, working the shaded, damp places where mosquitoes and ticks wait out the day: shrub lines, fence bases, ground cover, the edges of a lawn. The point is plain and worth a great deal on a summer evening — a backyard you can actually sit in after seven o'clock. Treatments run through the warm months and taper off as the nights cool. From Oceanside to West Hempstead and across the Queens line, the goal is the same yard, given back.
