Bee control

 

Greenleaf Pest Control provide professional bee control for domestic and commercial customers when the bees start to become a pest problem. We use bee control available only for professional use, have the right access equipment to reach bee nests and are experienced in all bee control methods. We do bee control safely too, so children, pets and wildlife aren’t harmed.

 

However, bees numbers have declined due to a complicated mix of environment and disease. So, although they aren’t a protected species, they need all the help they can get. As a professional pest control company, we take conservation like this seriously and we’ll try to find solutions that don’t harm the bees.

 

Don’t try to investigate or treat a bee nest yourself. Bees are quite placid if you leave them alone but they’ll sting if they think you’re attacking their nest. We always recommend getting a fully equipped and properly trained professional in to deal with bees’ nests; doing it yourself could cause harm to you, your family and pets, the environment and kill other bees in bee keepers’ hives.

 

If in doubt, ring or email us for professional bee control advice. We’ve 30 years experience in pest control and provide free pest control surveys. And we’re available 7 days a week. We really do know what we’re doing; you can trust us to get it right.

 

 

Where bees’ nests are found

 

Bees find a sheltered space and make their nest inside or under it: under roof slates, in walls, under sheds, in the ground, in chimneys, even under plastic or cardboard; last summer we used bee control in Essex to rescue bumble bees from behind a freezer, and we rescued some from under a cardboard box in a garage using bee control in Essex. Honey Bees often make nests in chimneys and this is when they become pest bees; we had to use bee control in Essex to get rid of this because it was causing a bee problem.

 

 

Signs of a bees’ nest

 

You might spot Honey Bees flying in and out of the nest entrance, especially in warm, sunny weather when these bees get very active. Or more bees might appear in parts of a building, straying from a bees’ nest close by. However, bees in large numbers outside could all just be attracted to one particular flowering plant rather than indicating a nest in or very near the plant. You might hear noises behind a wall or ceiling from bees working in a nest on the other side. Don’t try and investigate bees nests yourself or get too close to them. Normally bees are very placid, some can’t even sting, and if left well alone they will happily carry on their work and leave you alone in return. However, the bees will defend the bees’ nest if they think you’re attacking it and although the ones that can sting only sting once, it would still hurt; it could affect pets and sensitive people badly by causing swellings in the airways or anaphylactic shock too.
