Who We Are

We are world famous for our distinctive landmark: The Big Blue Bug. The 58-foot termite replica watches over New England from the roof of our Providence Headquarters. Learn more about Nibbles Woodaway, the Big Blue Bug

What's more famous than our Local Icon? Our Iconic Service! For more than 80 years, Big Blue Bug Solutions has built its name by protecting homes throughout New England with the most effective and responsible pest control solutions.

Started in 1935 by Leonard Yale Goldman, our Rhode Island pest control company has grown from a small, local business to one of the largest pest control companies in New England. Today, President and CEO Stephan Goldman, son of the founder, continues the tradition and has been joined by his sons Scott and Brian.
