Protecting Long Island Yards From Mosquitoes & Ticks 

Mosquito Brothers

On Long Island, enjoying your backyard is not always as simple as it should be. With increasing mosquito activity, growing tick concerns, and more awareness surrounding illnesses like Lyme disease, alpha-gal syndrome, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever, homeowners in Nassau County and Suffolk County are paying closer attention to what may be hiding in their grass, shrubs, and yard edges. That is where Mosquito Brothers comes in. Mosquito Brothers is a veteran-owned Long Island company specializing in professional mosquito and tick control. Our mission is to help families reclaim their outdoor spaces through dependable service, strong communication, and a higher level of care. Unlike large franchise operations, we take a more personal approach, understanding that every Long Island property has its own challenges, from leaf litter and shaded fence lines to dense shrubs, wooded borders, and other hard-to-reach areas where mosquitoes and ticks frequent most. What helps set Mosquito Brothers apart is our commitment to an Integrated Pest Management approach. Rather than relying on a single method, we use a thoughtful, multi-step approach because one treatment style alone can often fall short on Long Island. As one of the few companies in the region offering more extensive tick control methods, we focus not just on treating a property, but on addressing the conditions that allow these pests to thrive. Using professional-grade products and high-powered equipment, we are able to penetrate the protected areas where mosquitoes and ticks commonly rest and hide. At the center of it all is our Care Factor Promise — a commitment to helping protect the people and four-legged loved ones who matter most through a hassle-free, organized, and reliable experience

MASSAPEQUA, NY — Water emergency crews scrambled for a rescue Tuesday night after a pair of men became stranded off the south shore, police said. Nassau County police said they received a water emergency call at 8:27 p.m. Tuesday, specifically for a jet skier in distress near Little Goose Island. Nassau County Helicopter 6 and Marine 6 responded along with Town of Oyster Bay Constables, using a spotlight from the helicopter to locate the distressed jet ski, police said. When the spotlight found the jet ski, it revealed two men on a Sea Doo that had run aground and become disabled, police said. The two men were not injured, and were taken to Treasure Island Marina along with the jet ski, police said.
