Islip’s one of Long Island’s largest towns, stretching from Great South Bay to the Central Pine Barrens. You’ve got barrier beach communities, bay-front properties, dense hamlets like Central Islip and Brentwood, suburban neighborhoods, protected wetlands, and everything in between. That geographic diversity creates pest challenges that vary dramatically from the Fire Island ferry terminal to the residential streets miles north.
800-Raccoon has been handling pest control across Long Island for 33 years. Islip’s size means we’re working in completely different environments within the same town—bay-front humidity and moisture pests in one area, dense multi-family challenges in another, suburban residential issues somewhere else.
Great South Bay Waterfront
Bay Shore, Islip, Oakdale, East Islip, Bay Shore Marina—waterfront properties dealing with constant moisture, salt air, and humidity creating perfect conditions for carpenter ants, silverfish, moisture beetles. Mosquitoes breed in marsh areas behind the barrier beach, and rats thrive near marinas and waterfront restaurants.
Barrier Beach Access
Fire Island ferry terminals, beach parking areas, properties serving beach communities. High summer traffic, people coming and going, pests hitchhiking in and out.
Dense Residential Hamlets
Central Islip, Brentwood, North Bay Shore—denser population, more multi-family buildings, older housing stock. When pests show up they spread fast. German cockroaches, mice, bedbugs moving from unit to unit.
Suburban Communities
East Islip, Islip Terrace, Great River, Oakdale residential areas. Single-family homes with yards, trees creating outdoor pest pressure. Carpenter ants, termites, mosquitoes, ticks from deer populations.
Protected Natural Areas
Connetquot River State Park, wetland preserves, Pine Barrens sections. Properties bordering these areas deal with wildlife and increased pest pressure from undeveloped land.
Commercial Corridors
Montauk Highway businesses, Route 111 commercial areas, Main Street districts in hamlets. Restaurants, shops, offices needing regular service.
House Mice
Getting into homes through the tiniest gaps. They nest in walls, attics, basements, insulation. You’ll see droppings along baseboards, hear scratching in walls at night, find chewed food packages.
Fall is when mice start moving indoors looking for winter shelter. By the time you see one, there are probably more you haven’t seen.
Norway Rats
Waterfront areas, restaurant districts, properties with waste management issues. Big, smart, hard to eliminate. They burrow, they chew through almost anything, and they’re bold around people.
Rat problems require aggressive treatment—trapping, bait stations, exclusion work, ongoing monitoring.
Islip’s got water everywhere. Great South Bay, Connetquot River, countless streams and wetlands, decorative ponds, clogged gutters. All of it breeds mosquitoes.
Summer in Islip means you can’t sit outside without getting attacked unless you have mosquito control. We run seasonal programs—barrier sprays, breeding site treatment, ongoing maintenance. One treatment in spring won’t get you through to fall.
Carpenter Ants
Large black ants tunneling through wood. They don’t eat it like termites but they damage it just the same. Colonies start in trees or rotting wood outside, then expand into homes with moisture issues or wood-to-ground contact.
Finding the colony and eliminating it requires professional treatment. Killing the ants you see inside doesn’t solve anything.
Subterranean Termites
Active throughout Suffolk County. They eat wood from inside structures, and you usually don’t discover them until you see damage or spring swarmers (winged termites emerging to start new colonies).
Regular inspections catch them before expensive damage occurs. Treatment involves liquid barriers or bait stations around property perimeter.
Apartments in Central Islip, Brentwood, parts of Bay Shore—roaches are an issue. Small, brown, multiply incredibly fast. They hide in warm areas near food and moisture, spread between units through walls and plumbing.
Individual apartment treatment doesn’t work. Whole building needs coordinated service. We work with landlords and property managers for building-wide elimination.
Summer brings stinging insects. They build nests in eaves, underground, bushes, wall voids. Yellow jackets are aggressive, and if there’s a nest near your entrance or outdoor living space, it’s a problem.
We remove nests safely. Seriously, don’t try this yourself—disturbing a yellow jacket nest means hundreds of angry wasps and you’re probably getting stung repeatedly.
Wooded areas, properties backing to parks and preserves, neighborhoods with deer populations. Ticks carrying Lyme disease are everywhere in Suffolk County.
We can’t eliminate ticks entirely, but we drastically reduce populations on your property with perimeter treatments and yard applications during tick season (April through October).
Multi-family buildings, hotels, rental properties. They hide in beds, furniture, behind baseboards, in electrical outlets. They bite while you sleep, leaving itchy welts in lines or clusters.
Professional treatment required—heat and targeted chemicals to kill all life stages. Over-the-counter products don’t work on bedbugs.

Most of suburban Islip is single-family residential. These properties need seasonal pest management:
Spring (March-May) – Perimeter treatments before pests wake up, sealing entry points, checking for winter damage, setting monitoring stations.
Summer (June-August) – Mosquito control, stinging insect removal, ant management, keeping outdoor spaces comfortable and usable.
Fall (September-November) – Intensive exclusion work before rodents move indoors for winter. Sealing gaps around utilities, foundations, anywhere pests can enter.
Winter (December-February) – Indoor focus on rodent activity, managing any pests that got inside, preparing for spring season.
Bay-front homes face unique challenges from constant moisture and marine environment. Salt air, humidity, proximity to water—all create ideal pest conditions.
We provide specialized waterfront service addressing moisture pests, protecting docks and outbuildings, managing the specific pest pressure from coastal location.
Apartments and multi-family housing need building-wide coordination. Pests don’t stay in one unit—they spread through walls, plumbing, shared spaces.
