Bees & Wasps Don’t Belong in Your Home or Business

Safe, Professional, Long-lasting Control

Bees and wasps may be a natural part of the environment, but they can build nests quickly, often in lofts, roof spaces, wall cavities, and gardens— posing the risk of painful stings and distress, particularly for children, pets, and those with allergies. Early action prevents painful stings and serious allergic reactions.

While DIY treatments may seem like a quick fix, they can be dangerous and rarely deal with the problem effectively. Pest Ex provides professional bee and wasp control services , safely identifying the species, locating nests, and applying appropriate treatments or relocation methods where necessary. With experienced technicians and tailored prevention advice, we deliver safe, reliable solutions to keep your property protected throughout the warmer months and beyond.

How we deal with bees

At Pest Ex, we understand the importance of bees both to the environment and your safety. Our approach prioritises humane relocation wherever possible. We begin by carefully identifying the colony and assessing the nest location. We may then call in an experienced apiarist (beekeeper) to collect the swarm and safely transport the bees to a secure, suitable habitat. In cases where relocation just isn’t possible, we may need to apply safe, targeted humane treatments to dispose of the colony. Throughout the process, we follow all UK regulations and best practice guidelines, ensuring the colony is handled responsibly while keeping your property and family protected.

The problem with bees

Nests in lofts, walls, and roof spaces can damage insulation and timber.

Buzzing and activity around your property can cause stress and anxiety.

Risk of stings, especially for children, pets, or those with allergies.

Colonies can grow rapidly if left unchecked, creating larger infestations.

DIY removal attempts can be dangerous and ineffective, risking both people and the bees.

The problem with wasps

Aggressive behaviour leads to a high risk of painful stings.

Nests in walls, eaves, or gardens can disrupt outdoor activities.

Fast-growing colonies can make infestations harder to manage over time.

Commercial properties risk customer complaints and safety issues.

DIY sprays are often unsafe and do not eliminate the nest, leading to recurring problems.

How we deal with wasps

We take a safe, methodical approach to wasp control to ensure fast and lasting results. Our technicians begin with a thorough inspection to locate the nest and identify the level of activity. Once confirmed, we apply a professional-grade treatment directly to the nest, targeting the colony at its source. This quickly reduces activity and eliminates the infestation, usually within 24–48 hours. Where nests are in difficult or high-risk areas, we use specialist equipment to ensure safe access and effective treatment. We also provide clear aftercare and prevention advice to reduce the likelihood of wasps returning, giving you long-term peace of mind.
