🐝 Wasp & Bee Removal Nassau County & Long Island, NY

Nassau County homeowners deal with more stinging insect pressure than almost anywhere in New York State. Nassau County’s dense suburban neighborhoods — older Levittown-era capes, ranches, and colonials with mature landscaping — create perfect nesting habitat for yellow jackets, paper wasps, bald-faced hornets, and honeybees. Ground nests under pavers and in lawns, wall void nests in soffits and siding, and aerial nests in trees and eaves are all common throughout the county.

Our technicians provide wasp removal across all of Nassau County and Long Island, delivering fast identification and treatment for all stinging insect species. Wasp removal in Nassau County is time-sensitive — yellow jacket colonies can exceed 1,000 workers by late summer, making nest removal increasingly dangerous without professional equipment and protective gear.

Stinging Insects Common in Nassau County & Long Island

• Yellow jackets — The most aggressive species. Ground nests under decks, in lawns, and wall voids in soffits. Peak population August–September. Most stings on Long Island come from yellow jackets.
• Paper wasps — Open-comb umbrella nests under eaves, railings, and porch ceilings. Less aggressive than yellow jackets but will sting when nest is disturbed.
• Bald-faced hornets — Large gray aerial nests in trees, shrubs, and on structures. Highly defensive — do not attempt removal without protective equipment.
• Honeybees — Occasionally swarm on trees or structures during spring. We do not treat honeybees; if a colony is confirmed as honeybees rather than wasps or hornets, we refer the matter to a licensed beekeeper.
• Carpenter bees — Drill holes in wood fascia, decking, and furniture. Cause structural damage over time. Treated separately from stinging insect colonies.

How We Handle Wasp & Bee Removal in Nassau County

• Yellow jacket nest treatment — Soil injection for ground nests or void injection for nests in walls and soffits. Eliminates the entire colony within 24-48 hours.
• Paper wasp & hornet knockdown — Direct nest treatment followed by residual application to prevent recolonization of the same site.
• Honeybee colonies — We do not treat honeybees; if a colony is confirmed as honeybees rather than wasps or hornets, we refer the matter to a licensed beekeeper.
• Preventive sealing — Closing eave gaps, soffit vents, and foundation openings to prevent future nesting by yellow jackets and wasps.
