Gernatt Pest Solutions is Western New York’s first choice for stinging insect and ant management because we combine unmatched technical authority with a family-first, eco-conscious approach. Our solutions go beyond simply spraying chemicals—we identify root causes, seal entry points, and deploy safe, targeted products that are fully effective, yet safe for families and pets once dry. We are NYSDEC certified for both structural (7A) and food-service environments (7F), ensuring compliance for homes, restaurants, and commercial properties alike. With a 5-star Angi rating, BBB accreditation, and transparent pricing, we deliver the reliability and trust you need to resolve stinging insect and ant issues—fast, discreet, and with guaranteed results for Buffalo, North Collins, Lawtons, and the extended Western New York region.

Our methodology for stinging insect and ant control is designed to provide both immediate relief and long-term protection. We use a combination of direct nest treatments, non-lethal bee relocation, and colony-targeted ant solutions—selecting products and application methods based on the unique risks and locations of each infestation. For stinging insects, we employ specialized protective gear and precision equipment to eliminate wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets, while ensuring that honey bees are safely relocated whenever feasible. For ants, we blend baiting, perimeter sprays, and entry point exclusion to fully disrupt colony activity. All materials are chosen for their low toxicity and are safe for families and pets once dry. Our “one-and-done” approach for nests and structured 1-to-3 treatment cycles for ant colonies means you get fast, effective resolutions and clear expectations from the start. Service is available throughout Erie, Niagara, Cattaraugus, and all neighboring counties.
