Associate Certified Entomologist (ACE)
The on-staff ACE behind New York Exterminating — and the specialist other companies call when a case won’t resolve. Bed bugs, German roaches, parasitic mites, rodents, and the cases everyone else gives up on.
Speaks at & featured on
Jorge Bedoya is an Associate Certified Entomologist (ACE) and the on-staff specialist at New York Exterminating, a Brooklyn-based pest control company serving all five boroughs of New York City. He leads the company’s training and its most complex, hard-to-solve cases — the jobs other technicians, and sometimes other companies, get stuck on.
The ACE credential isn’t a classroom shortcut. The Entomological Society of America requires years of verified, hands-on field experience before a technician can even sit for the exam, plus ongoing recertification. Jorge’s expertise was built the same way — in real New York buildings, on real infestations — and then validated by the most respected credential in the field. That combination of field judgment and formal entomology is what lets him read a situation other people misdiagnose.
Jorge is frequently brought in as a third-party expert when a case won’t resolve — a recurring bed bug problem, German cockroaches that keep coming back, biting complaints with no obvious source, or a building-wide situation that needs a real plan. He works across the full range, from a single detached home to a multi-unit building to a commercial account, and every job is backed by professional-grade equipment rather than a basic sprayer.
Jorge’s approach is built on Integrated Pest Management: find and remove the source, not just spray the symptom. He favors products that are less toxic than the industry average yet more lethal to the target pest on contact, and he documents the work — identification, monitoring, and results — so the outcome holds up to a client, a property manager, or a board.
That’s exactly what Jorge does. Talk to an ACE-certified team today — same-day appointments available.
Jorge is a recognized voice in the pest-control industry — an international speaker at PERUPLAGAS, Peru’s major pest-management convention (2023 and 2025), and a frequent guest on industry podcasts in English and Spanish, where he’s known for his work on German cockroach control and resistance management. At PERUPLAGAS he has presented on German cockroach (Blattella germanica) control strategy, the current tools and common biases in cockroach control, and the ‘Zero Pest’ concept.

Cómo eliminar la cucaracha alemana 100% — Estrategia No-Repelente▶ Jorge Bedoya, PCOJorge is regularly invited to present on German cockroach management at international urban-pest-management congresses. Since 2023 he has spoken in Peru, Mexico, Colombia, and Costa Rica — and stays current with the U.S. industry through the NPMA’s PestWorld conference. When pest-control companies want to learn the latest on cockroach control, Jorge is often one of the people teaching them.
Speaking record: Expo Control (Mérida, Mexico, 2024) · Querétaro Bajío association (2024) · PeruPlagas — VIII (2023) & X (2025) International Congress (Lima) · Acoplagas (Costa Rica, 2025) · Barranquilla (Colombia, 2025) · PestWorld / NPMA (Orlando, USA, 2025).
Accurate control starts with understanding the pest. Jorge teaches how to read German cockroach egg development under the microscope, and how insect growth regulators (IGRs) sterilize cockroaches and disrupt the breeding cycle — the difference between knocking down what you can see and actually breaking the population. That same science guides every treatment plan we build.
An ACE is a pest-control professional certified by the Entomological Society of America after years of verified field experience, a rigorous exam, and ongoing recertification — and bound by an enforceable Code of Ethics. It is the most respected applied credential in the industry.
Any licensed technician can apply pesticides. An ACE adds formal entomology: identifying the exact species, understanding its biology and behavior, and choosing the method that actually solves the problem instead of just spraying the symptom. It is the difference between treating and truly diagnosing an infestation.
For a one-off ant trail, probably not. But for bed bugs, German cockroaches, parasitic mites, recurring infestations, or “bites with no bug,” an ACE’s diagnostic depth is what finally resolves the case when standard treatments keep failing — which is exactly why other companies bring Jorge in.
Bed bugs, German cockroaches, parasitic mites (bird and rat mites), rodent exclusion and management, and hard-to-diagnose “mystery bite” cases — across single-family homes, multi-unit buildings, and commercial accounts.
Yes. New York Exterminating serves Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island, with same-day appointments and bilingual (English/Spanish) service.
Same-day appointments, bilingual service, and a documented track record on the toughest jobs in the five boroughs — led start to finish by an Associate Certified Entomologist.
