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

Fall in Love with Rock All Over Again
Inside the legendary Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square, discover an experience where music isn’t just heard… but felt.
Rock Never Dies is a one-of-a-kind immersive theatrical event from American Immersion Theater that is part concert, part love story, and fully a magical journey. This groundbreaking production invites you to dine, drink, and fall headfirst into the soul of rock and roll.
Enjoy a full three-course meal inside the Magical Mystery Museum of Hard Rock, a place where music has power, memories come alive, and one life is changed forever every night. It’s an experience that inspires you to keep dreaming and march to the beat of your own drum.
At the heart of the story is Caroline, a young artist who’s lost hope and heart. As legendary music icons come to life around her, she’s forced to confront love, loss, and the courage to take the stage again. Along the way, you won’t just watch the story, but be part of it.
Created by award-winning, immersive visionary Scott Cramton, often called the Willy Wonka of Immersive Theater, this joyful, high-energy spectacle blends iconic rock anthems with romance, comedy, and electrifying audience interaction.
Whether you're on a date, celebrating something special, or just chasing that feeling music used to give you, this is your night.

is one song, one moment, and a second chance
to change everything.

Deep Roots Farmers Market Glen Cove Opening Day! - Saturday, May 30th 9am-1pm

As a mother, I have always taught my children that home should be our safest place. But for my family, that sanctuary became the source of an invisible, life-threatening crisis.
My family was recently forced to flee our home due to severe mold and mycotoxin toxicity. The very air we were breathing was poisoning us. What started as subtle health changes quickly spiraled into a devastating ordeal that left us sick, displaced, and faced with the heartbreaking loss of almost all of our belongings.
Navigating this has been the hardest journey of our lives. When you lose everything to environmental toxicity, you don't just lose furniture or clothes; you lose your sense of security. Unfortunately, we have found that in these situations, accountability is hard to come by, and the financial burden of protecting your family&rsquo;s health falls entirely on the victims.
We have now secured a new, safe home, but the road to recovery is long. Our savings were exhausted in the process of ensuring my children could breathe clean air again. We are currently working to bridge the gap and rebuild what was lost.
I am sharing our story here not only because we need the community&rsquo;s help, but because I want to ensure no other family in our area has to endure this. Mycotoxin poisoning is real, it is often invisible, and it is frequently misunderstood. My goal is to use our experience to advocate for better awareness and safer living standards for all renters in Long Island.
I&rsquo;ve documented our journey and the realities of this crisis on my social media pages @jessicarudin on instagram and Facebook.&nbsp;
If you are in a position to help, any support&mdash;whether it&rsquo;s a donation or simply sharing our story to raise awareness&mdash;would mean the world to my family.
You can find our fundraiser and read more about our journey here:&nbsp;<a href="https://gofund.me/bc7c16bd6" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">gofund.me/bc7c16bd6</a>
Thank you to my neighbors for your kindness, your grace, and your support as we work to create a healthy future for my children.
