Bee Removal in Washington Heights, Manhattan
Washington Heights residents facing bee infestations need fast, professional removal services that protect both people and pollinators.

We specialize in extracting bees from pre-war buildings, brownstones, and high-rise apartments common throughout this historic Manhattan neighborhood.
Why Washington Heights Has a Bees Problem
Washington Heights' tree-lined streets, proximity to parks like Fort Tryon and Inwood Hill, and older building stock create ideal conditions for bee colonies to establish themselves in walls, eaves, and rooftops. The neighborhood's characteristic pre-war apartment buildings and brownstones often have hidden cavities where bees build hives, requiring expert knowledge to safely access and remove without structural damage.
Why Choose Us for Bee Removal in Washington Heights
Bee removal prioritizes relocation over extermination wherever possible — honey bees and bumble bees are protected and ecologically important, and we work to remove them humanely. For accessible hives in trees, siding, or eaves, our technicians physically remove the comb, honey, and bees and coordinate relocation with local beekeepers. For hives inside wall voids, we use a combination of bee vacuuming and structural access to fully remove the colony and comb — leaving comb behind attracts new swarms and causes honey seepage and odor problems. Every service includes a service agreement — terms depend on the service and are confirmed on the call.
