Understanding Bee Behaviour and Safety

At Independent Pest Control, we hold a deep appreciation for bees and their critical role as pollinators in our ecosystem. We want to educate our visitors about why we do not provide bee nest removal services. Our commitment to bee conservation and the understanding of their importance guides our decision to leave bees undisturbed.

Our Commitment to Bee Conservation

We are deeply committed to bee conservation efforts. We actively support sustainable beekeeping practices and collaborate with local organisations to protect bee populations. By raising awareness and educating the public about the importance of bees, we strive to inspire others to join us in safeguarding these invaluable pollinators.

Essential Pollinators: Bees are crucial pollinators for plant species in the UK, including many crops. Around 70 of the top 100 crop species grown in the UK rely on or benefit from pollinators like bees.
Biodiversity Preservation: Bees contribute significantly to biodiversity conservation in the UK by facilitating cross-pollination among various plants. Their vital role helps maintain diverse ecosystems and supports the survival of numerous plant and animal species.
Food Security: Bees are critical in ensuring food security for the UK population. They enable the reproduction of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds, contributing to a sustainable and diverse food supply that meets the nation's dietary needs.
Economic Value: Bees hold substantial economic value in the UK. The pollination services bees provide are estimated to contribute over £600 million annually to the UK agricultural industry, directly impacting crop yields and associated economic sectors.
Environmental Stewardship: The presence of bees indicates a healthy environment in the UK. Their abundance and pollination activities reflect the overall ecological balance, showcasing the environmental well-being and quality of the ecosystems they inhabit.

If you have a significant number of bees in your attic or if you or a family member has a bee allergy, it is best to call Independent Pest Control for assistance.

We contacted this firm in the morning and they attended around lunchtime, very fast response and resolved our wasp problem within no time at all. Extremely professional and amazing service taking in all measures you would expect during the lock-down due to Covid-19.

Cannot praise this firm enough as we had a really bad wasp problem and even during the lockdown they came out. Very fast response and kept a safe distance at all times. Wonderful service well done!!

Helpful people to speak to on the phone. Prompt and efficient service, wasp nest dealt with no fuss and almost immediate result. Very competitive price for a full professional service with back up guaranteed for peace of mind. Everyone i dealt with including Chris who came out to the house was friendly and helpful. Very glad that i chose this company, would highly recommend them.

We have a regular contract with Independent Pest Control for our HMO's and have always found them, reliable, trustworthy and value for money. Recently we required urgent emergency support and IPC team members demonstrated just how they go above and beyond caring for their customers and wider community. We would highly recommend Independent Pest Control

I really can't thank Ian and his team enough. I use a wide range of companies on an almost daily basis, very few of whom come close to the levels of service I experienced from Independent Pest Control. From start to finish their technician Craig showed great knowledge and professionalism in dealing with the problem. This morning was the final visit and the property is now totally free from rodents. I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending IPC. Thank you once again Ian.

I contacted Ian regarding a wasp nest in our roof space. The very next day we had Mark come and visit. Mark is an asset to the company providing a brilliant service; from calling ahead with an ETA, to a timely arrival with a very professional & friendly manner. Mark very clearly knows his stuff and went straight to the nest, treated it from inside and out whilst explaining to us what he was doing and what to expect next.

FAQs about Bees and Pest Control

Do you provide bee nest removal services?

We prioritise bee conservation and the preservation of their critical role as pollinators. Bees are essential for maintaining a healthy ecosystem, and their populations are already facing significant challenges worldwide. Instead of removing bee nests, we focus on educating the public about the importance of bees and promoting sustainable beekeeping practices.

Are bees a pest that needs to be controlled?

Bees are not considered pests from a bee conservation standpoint. They are crucial contributors to the ecosystem as primary pollinators of flowering plants, including many crops. However, it’s important to differentiate between bees and other stinging insects, such as wasps or hornets, which may require our pest control measures if they pose a threat to human safety. Our mission is to protect and preserve bee populations, promoting their well-being rather than treating them as pests.

What can I do if I have a bee nest in my loft?

If you see a bee nest or notice bees on your property, we encourage you to appreciate their presence and avoid disturbing them. Bees are generally non-aggressive unless provoked, and their main focus is on pollination rather than seeking confrontation. It’s unlikely that honey bees are nesting in your loft. If the bees’ location poses a concern, please contact us.
