About Wantagh
Serving Wantagh on a schedule that fits the town.
Wantagh sits in Town of Hempstead, Nassau County, covering ZIP code 11793. Housing here leans toward 1940s–60s capes and ranches, many on canals or near the bay. Properties near Wantagh Parkway, Jones Beach access, and Wantagh LIRR carry their own pest pressure — we adjust treatments by block, not by zip. Proximity to South Oyster Bay (via canals) drives extra mosquito, midge, and rodent pressure that mainland zip codes don't see.
Purple Panda runs Wantagh on the same recurring schedule we use across Long Island — quarterly prevention visits, fast follow-ups when something pops up, and pricing you can see before you sign up. No phone tag, no upsell quotes.
