Arterix Pest Control has been established on the foundation of The Beekeepers. The Beekeepers was founded in 1982 and specializes in the professional removal of stinging insects: bees, wasps, cicada killers, hornets and yellow jackets.
Art Stepanyan acquired The Beekeepers in 2010 and continues to own and lead Arterix Pest Control. Under his ownership, the company has steadily expanded its range of professional services.
Today, Arterix Pest Control offers general pest and termite control services, including, but not limited to, general pest control, termite inspection and termite preventative service, mosquito and tick control, mice and rat control, bed bug treatment, stinging insect treatment, and humane wildlife removal.
Our history reflects more than four decades of experience in pest management, a commitment to professional service, and a focus on helping customers protect their homes, businesses, and peace of mind.
Arterix Pest Control is committed to hiring and supporting people with disabilities as valued members of our team. We believe every customer deserves peace of mind, and that starts with a capable, respected and well-supported crew. If you are interested in joining Arterix, we welcome your application.
