Our job starts with a full inspection of the property and proper identification of the type of bee infestation, its severity, and the location of the hive or nest. Correct identification of the species helps us determine the best course of action for safe and efficient removal of the stinging insects.

A safety perimeter is set up around active hives and nests to safeguard your family and pets from stings. Specific eco-friendly treatments based on the insect species and colony location are implemented for effective elimination.

Bees are essential for pollination and play an important role in our ecosystem. Hence, we collaborate with local beekeepers to safely remove and relocate the beehives and ensure bees are handled humanely. Professional-grade equipment is used to safely remove nests and prevent future infestations of more aggressive species such as wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets.
As Manhattan’s trusted bee exterminator, Optimum Pest Control specializes in the identification, treatment, and prevention of all stinging insect species common to New York City.
