Do you have Pest Problems with Bees & Wasps?
When pests invade your home or business, you need fast, professional help you can trust. Initially, our Long Island-based experts assess the situation to provide a dependable solution for Nassau and Suffolk County residents. Consequently, as summer winds down, many local property owners notice a sharp increase in bee and wasp activity. While these stinging insects are natural, they quickly become a dangerous nuisance near your family or customers.
Why Bees and Wasps Become a Problem In Late Summer and Fall
We’ll take care of the problem the first time.
One of the biggest reasons bee and wasp activity peaks in late summer and fall is because their colonies are reaching full size. Early in the season, nests may not seem like a major concern, but by August and September, the population inside a single nest can number in the thousands. As food sources outdoors begin to decline, wasps in particular become more aggressive as they search for sugary foods and drinks—often leading them straight to your backyard gatherings, trash bins, or even indoor spaces.
Unfortunately, this is also the time of year when people are most likely to be stung. Unlike bees, which can sting only once, wasps can sting multiple times and often do so when they feel their nest is threatened. For those who are allergic, a sting can be far more than a painful nuisance—it can be life-threatening. This is why professional wasp pest control in Long Island is so important.
Why Professional Pest Control is the Best Solution
Attempting to remove a bee or wasp nest on your own can be extremely dangerous. Furthermore, store-bought sprays rarely eliminate the entire colony, even if they kill a few insects. Specifically, disturbing a nest without professional protection often results in multiple stings within seconds.
In addition, our trained technicians at Systematic Pest Elimination use professional-grade methods for bee removal. We do not just treat the visible problem. Instead, we eliminate the nest at its source to reduce the chances of pests returning. Ultimately, our team provides the guidance you need to seal entry points and keep outdoor areas safe.
Common Nesting Areas Around Your Property
On Long Island, homeowners frequently discover bee and wasp nests in places that put people at risk every time they step outside. Some of the most common locations include:
Porches and Decks – Wasps often build nests underneath railings, stairs, or in the corners of covered decks where activity is high.
Eaves and Overhangs – These sheltered spots around your roofline provide the perfect protection for nests to thrive undisturbed.
Sheds and Outbuildings – Storage areas are rarely visited daily, making them an attractive option for wasps looking for quiet spaces.
Play Areas and Landscaping – Nests hidden in bushes, trees, or even underground can pose a danger to kids and pets who may accidentally disturb them.
These high-traffic locations highlight why bees and wasps pest control services in Long Island are crucial for safety.

Bed Bug Pest Control & Elimination FAQ'S
Is my landlord responsible for removing wasp nests in NYC?
Yes. Under the NYC Housing Maintenance Code, property owners and landlords are legally required to maintain a safe and sanitary environment, which includes the removal of “nuisance” stinging insects like wasps and hornets. If a nest is located in a common area or within your apartment walls, the landlord must hire a licensed pest control professional to eliminate the threat promptly.
Can I call 311 for a bee swarm on a public sidewalk?
Yes. In NYC, you should call 911 or 311 to report large bee swarms on public property (like street signs or parks) that pose a public safety risk. For private property, however, the City will not remove the bees. Homeowners and commercial owners are responsible for hiring their own professional bee removal service.
Are honey bees protected by law in New York?
While honey bees are not currently on the “endangered” list, NY State Law (Article 15-B) requires that professional exterminators make a reasonable effort to relocate honey bee colonies rather than exterminate them. At Systematic, we prioritize eco-friendly relocation for bees while providing aggressive extermination for aggressive, non-pollinating wasps.
What happens if a landlord ignores a wasp nest complaint?
If a landlord fails to act, tenants can file a 311 complaint. This can result in an inspection by the NYC Department of Health (DOHMH). If the nest is deemed a public health nuisance, the landlord may face significant fines and be ordered to remediate the issue immediately.
Do I need a permit to remove a beehive from a NYC building?
Generally, no permit is required for a private homeowner to hire an exterminator. However, if the hive is in a City-owned tree or on a landmarked structure, a Tree Work Permit or specific agency coordination may be required. We handle all compliance and safety protocols to ensure your removal is 100% legal.
How can I tell if I have bees or wasps?
Identification is critical for treatment strategy. Bees (like Honey or Bumble bees) are typically fuzzy, round-bodied, and focus on flowers. Wasps and Hornets (like Yellow Jackets) have smooth, “shiny” bodies, narrow waists, and are much more aggressive hunters. Wasps can sting multiple times, whereas honey bees typically sting only once.
Why shouldn't I just spray a wasp nest with a garden hose?
This is extremely dangerous in NYC’s dense environment. Disturbing a nest—especially a Yellow Jacket nest—without professional equipment can trigger a “swarm response,” putting you and your neighbors at risk for dozens of stings. Furthermore, water often fails to reach the queen, meaning the colony will simply rebuild.
What is "Exclusion" for bees and wasps?
Exclusion is the process of sealing your home so pests can’t get in. After we perform a wasp extermination in Long Island or Manhattan, we identify entry points like gaps in soffits, eaves, or siding and seal them. This is the most effective way to prevent a new queen from starting a colony on your property next season.
Can bees or wasps live inside my apartment walls?
Yes. In many NYC buildings, bees and wasps enter through small cracks in the brickwork or around window frames to build nests in the wall voids. If you hear a “faint buzzing” or clicking sound behind your drywall, do not attempt to seal the hole yourself—this can force the insects into your living space. Call a professional to locate and remove the nest from the inside out.
Is bee removal safe for my pets?
Yes. We use Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques that focus on targeted removal. For bee relocations, no chemicals are used. For wasp treatments, we use EPA-registered products applied directly to the nest site, ensuring your pets are not exposed to unnecessary aerosols or broad sprays.
