Bumble bee Pest Control - FAQ's
What Are Bumble Bees?
Bumble bees in the UK number some 24 species yet only six species are still commonly found in our gardens. In the spring bumble bees are among the first large insects to be seen and it is not until early summer that these bees have established colonies of sufficient numbers to cause alarm. In general bumble bees are harmless if left alone, we only encounter problems when young children or pets fail to leave them alone. If you would like to learn more about these insects "Click Here".
Can Bumble Bees Sting or Bite?
Bumble bees like honey bees have a defensive sting that is very effective. They will only sting in most cases where they are handled or compressed when someone treads on one.
What Should I do If I Am Stung by a Bumble Bee?
Are Bumble Bees Protected By Law?
No - but in our opinion, control of bumble bees should be tightly regulated. Bumble bees are one of nature's true wonders and are a key reason we are able to enjoy the great wealth of fruits etc that is nature's bounty. After a good recovery in bee numbers last year we are hoping they will continue to recover this year especially after such a harsh winter. We want to help these creatures survive in greater numbers, so future generations have the chance to enjoy them and on that note we offer a re-homing service. On that note think very carefully before considering the control of these amazing creatures think again if there is any way you can live along side them.
Why Are Some Bumble Bees Killed?
Not everyone loves bees and those who suffer both phobias and Anaphylactic shock from bee stings including adults and young children need to be protected. What we have come to realise is that if we do not control the tiny proportion of bumble bee nests safely and sensitively there are plenty of chemicals amateurs can buy to kill the bees themselves at great risk to others, and often contaminating surrounding hives and causing untold damage to the local areas bee and insect populations. For us we must stress control is a last resort and requires householder consent and written instruction during our inspection visit before we carry out any treatment.
What Does A Bumble Bee Removal or Control Treatment Cost?
As the local authority does not provide pest control services in relation to bumble bees, it's down to experts like our selves to manage bees in a way that respects public safety whilst still trying to strike a balance with environmental sensitivity. Sometimes bumble bees nest in places that create safety concerns to parents and people with pets and sometimes as an absolute last resort, where the bumble bees nest is not accessible, such as those under sheds or concrete steps, that means destroying them.
Where a colony can be collected and re-sited, the cost is very reasonable, however if the colony requires chemical control, we have strict health and safety protocols to ensure that neighbouring bees and colonies are not affected for both environmental and economic reasons, and this does increase the cost considerably. We are usually on site within hours or even faster if it is an emergency.
Being experts in insect control means our services are faster, more thorough and more flexible than many other providers. We are usually on site within hours or even faster if it is an emergency. Our Services start at just £39.00.

Pest Control Advice
Getting rid of Bumble Bees and other insects like ants, fleas and bedbugs is not as simple as many pesticide manufacturers will lead you to believe. The chemicals or poisons on offer in supermarkets and shops often have a fraction of the effect that is achieved through professional products and this means you are likely to get through many cans of treatment without actually achieving full control. As the only Bath pest control company offering a dedicated insect control service we are able to deliver pest control treatments that are often guaranteed to work.
Pest control is all about understanding the pest you are trying to eliminate or prevent. The Wasp for example creates a wasp nest early in the year so if you wanted to control wasps in Bath you would probably guess that checking for a new wasp nest in your loft in April and May would allow you to remove a wasp nest safely before it became too large. By understanding your pest, you are able to plan control in advance, before infestation occurs and the cost of elimination becomes high.
WaspKill UK are here to help - so why not give us a call and put your trust in the experts.
