Yes. We safely treat wasp nests at domestic and commercial properties. Most nests become inactive within 24 hours after treatment.

Honeybees are important pollinators and, wherever possible, we recommend preserving colonies rather than destroying them. Where appropriate, we can advise you or recommend contacting a local beekeeper who may be able to relocate a colony. Bumblebees should only be disturbed where there is a genuine risk to public safety.

No. All UK bat species and their roosts are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017. It is illegal to intentionally kill, injure or disturb bats, or damage or block access to a bat roost without the appropriate licence. We can provide advice and direct you to the appropriate organisations.
