"A++++ experience with Alex in removing 7 raccoons from my property. He responded immediately, set up an appointment for the next day, came to my home on time and offered fair pricing. I had tried everything to get rid of these pests that were relentlessly destroying my garden and on my deck every night smashing planters, etc. I have a small dog I was most concerned about since they killed 3 kittens in the yard. It had become a stressful, time-consuming and expensive problem I had no way of managing. Alex was very professional and explained the process in detail as well as Plan B options for trying to get the mother raccoon (luckily not needed). He set up 2 traps that caught 2 a night - in only 4 days -problem gone! He was very dependable as far as removing and replacing the traps which was a concern because I didn’t want the animals sitting too long. This is my second day raccoon-free. I’ll absolutely call Alex again if I see any sign of a raccoon. THANK YOU Alex!"

We're NYC's preferred pest removal service, because we provide excellent service to all clients. You will be presented with service options such as traditional pesticides for those who want the strongest products or Thermal Heat Remediation for those who do not want a drop of pesticide in their home, but want guaranteed results. You get to choose the service that you are most comfortable with. Your concerns will be our top priority. Our highly trained field technicians will not only remove your pests, they will also ensure that this process is as stress-free as possible for you. We provide removal service of all pests, including but not limited to bed bugs, mice, cockroaches, waterbugs, rats, fleas, silverfish, ants, moths, termites, etc. We provide traditional, green and organic pesticide services, plus steaming services, bed bug, moth & carpet beetle heat remediation, hepa-vacuuming, rodent exclusion, cryonite, fumigation, wildlife removal, etc. We service all of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Jersey City & Hoboken.

"I live in a co-op building in Washington Heights. Green Earth is the exclusive extermination service that our co-op uses and our building is infested with mice and a variety of different roaches. It's a really bad situation and *no one* in my building is happy with the service that we're getting, but that's not why I'm writing this bad review. I'm writing because I had a particularly bad experience with Green Earth after they were hired by my building's management company to do mouse mitigation in my apartment. In short, the service itself was poor and nothing has changed in terms of the infestation in my housing unit - again, poor service is par for the course with these guys and is not why I'm writing. What really upset me is that Green Earth would not divulge any details of what it found in my apartment in terms of mouse activity nor would they divulge what compounds or substances that may have been spread around to mitigate the mouse problem when they were here. The explanation for their secrecy, from three rude people that reply to emails there, is that because the management company itself was the client that hired Green Earth, they believe that they do not have to tell me what pest control treatments were used that day in the apartment that I own. Apparently Green Earth takes its bureaucratic and self-assigned paper work obligations so seriously that they feel that they have an absurd duty to cloak pest control findings and, more importantly, the treatments that Green Earth uses, secret from the residents of housing units that it treats when they are hired by co-op boards or building managers to treat individual housing units. I've got a two year old kid and I just want to know what they may or may not have spread around my apartment and they won't tell me. To me, that is totally unacceptable."

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

You should never try to remove a bee's nest yourself because it can be extremely dangerous. The amount of bees that can live in a hive depends on the type of bee, but honey bees can have up to 80,000 bees living in a hive. People who are allergic to bees can have life-threatening reactions from a single sting. So, it's best to leave bee nest removal to the professionals who have the knowledge and equipment to do so safely.

If you’re dealing with a bee colony on your property, you might wonder if they’ll leave naturally over time. The answer depends on their circumstances. Bees often relocate if the hive becomes overcrowded, food is scarce, or they face a threat. With that said, if a hive’s location is safe, warm, and with plentiful food sources, they are unlikely to relocate on their own, and the hive may persist for many generations.

To choose a reliable and reputable bee removal specialist, you could start by searching Angi’s database of bee removal specialists. Also, look into local organizations and beekeepers associations.

Yes, honey bees can sting, but they typically only do it when they feel their hive is threatened. When honey bees are away from their hive, they’re focused on foraging for pollen and nectar, making them unlikely to sting. Only female honey bees, called workers, have stingers, and they will die if they need to use them. Generally, if left undisturbed, honey bees will leave you alone.

In certain cases, yes, the bees may go away on their own, but it’s a risk. Some bee types, such as bumblebees, create seasonal nests and then die out as their new queens seek homes elsewhere. But in most cases, you can’t count on the bees leaving naturally. It’s also not a great idea to leave openings in your walls any longer than you have to, which can attract other pests or cause moisture damage.
