Arrow Exterminating has been serving Long Islanders and New Yorkers for more than sixty years—since Bernard Stegman founded the company in 1947. Now under the management of his daughters; Jackie Grabin and Debby Tappan, Arrow is one of the largest pest control companies in the New York metropolitan area. There are several things that have always set Arrow apart: • We’ve always been willing to take on problems others won’t, and to do whatever it takes to help our clients. • We are always accessible. When Bernard Stegman founded the company, he gave clients his home phone number. We try to be just as accessible today, and always give free phone consultations. • We inspect every property carefully before deciding on treatment. We won’t just come in and spray chemicals indiscriminately. • We have a fulltime, board-certified entomologist on staff to help us understand the way insects behave, to make our treatments as effective as possible. • Our staff receives extensive training, and many have been with us for several decades. We know the quality of our staff determines the quality of our company, and we’re very proud of the team we have. Nassau County Consumer Affairs license: #HI84714.

"Mr Martinez came over and answered all my questions and was very thorough. He kept me informed through the whole process. They got all the raccoons removed and I am very happy with their work. I would highly recommend them."

"I was not completely satisfied because they did not completely take care of the ant problem and I have not noticed much of a difference regarding the mice that they said we had.

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

Any tree that emits a sap or resin can attract yellow jackets. They are particularly attracted to the tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima), which emits a sweet sap that both yellow jackets and spotted lanternflies love.

You might be tempted to call your local municipality to remove animals from your property, such as a groundhog burrowing in your yard or raccoons getting into your trash cans. However, they typically only remove domestic animals like dogs and cats from properties, or sick and injured wildlife that pose a public safety risk or health threat, such as a rabid animal. They typically do not capture or remove healthy wildlife.

Animal removal professionals have the tools, knowledge, and skills to trap and remove wild animals adequately and humanely. They also can relocate them correctly.

Honey bees are most likely to swarm during spring and early summer, typically from April through June, as colonies expand and prepare for new growth. Swarming occurs when a hive becomes overcrowded, prompting the queen and a group of worker bees to leave in search of a new nesting site. During this time, you may notice a temporary increase in bee activity around your property.

Whereas a honeybee can only sting you once, a yellow jacket can sting you multiple times because they don’t leave stingers in the skin. In the unfortunate case that you get stung by a yellow jacket, it’s important to react calmly and quickly. Immediately ice the affected area until the swelling subsides. You may also take an antihistamine if necessary. If you experience an allergic reaction to a yellow jacket sting or have been stung several times, seek medical care right away. 

In many places, killing bees or destroying a hive is discouraged or regulated due to their crucial role as pollinators. Specific laws vary by region, and certain bee species are protected due to declining populations. Some states require permits or restrict who can remove or exterminate bee colonies. Always check local laws before attempting to manage or remove a beehive.
