Van Cortlandt Village Pest Control | Tick, Wildlife & Rodent Specialists

Living next to Van Cortlandt Park means living in close proximity to the wildlife and insects that inhabit its forests, meadows, and wetlands. Deer ticks are endemic to the park and spill over onto adjacent residential properties throughout the warmer months. Deer mice — vectors for Hantavirus as well as Lyme disease — are a particular concern here, as they inhabit both the park's wooded interior and the surrounding neighborhood. Raccoons, squirrels, and skunks routinely leave the park to forage in residential yards and find access to attics and crawl spaces in older homes.

Tick season in Van Cortlandt Village runs from April through November, with peak activity in spring and late summer. Deer mice and house mice push into homes beginning in October. Mosquitoes breed in the park's low-lying wetland areas and are active from late May through September. Stink bugs descend on the neighborhood's older homes in fall, taking advantage of gaps around windows and aging siding. Ants and wasps are active from spring through late summer.
