Bug Off Pest Control Center has completed another expansion of its Manhattan headquarters at 1085 Saint Nicholas Ave. in New York City.
“The move was in response to our expanding product line, as well as our growing customer base,” said Andy Linares, president of the industry distributor and training resource. “The expansion allows for one-third more inventory storage, an expanded equipment repair shop, and more room in our career training center for recertification workshops and other educational events.”
Linares told Pest Management Professional (PMP) that the expansion is the business’ first since 2013. “We’ve been at this location since 1987 and have gone through three expansions, for a total of four storefronts added,” he said. “All expansions have been in response to the need for more space.”
Linares also told PMP that the theme for this year’s New York Pest Expo, for which PMP is a partner, will be announced soon. Here are some highlights from the NYPE that took place Nov. 9, 2023
