Bumblebee Nest Removal

Q: How Much Does Bee Removal Cost?

Prices depend on several factors, the size of the nest being one of the main ones. If we need to visit your property to survey the problem, a survey charge may apply. Proofing or deterrent work is individually quoted after assessment. Phone advice is free. We can go through the likely factors with you.

Q: Will I Get Future Bee Pest Control Problems?

We cannot promise that bees will never return. What we can do is give aftercare advice and, where it would help, recommend proofing or deterrents, which are individually quoted after assessment. Phone advice is free. Ring us if bees show up again and you want to talk it over.

Q: When Can I Phone About Bumblebee Nest Removal?

We're open Monday to Saturday, 8am to 9pm. We're closed on Sundays. Phone advice is free. Our number is 02394 190 822; tell us where the bumblebees are and we will help you decide what to do.

Q: Should I Remove A Bumblebee Nest Myself?

No. Please leave the nest in place and avoid trying to move it. Note where it is and how many bees you can see coming and going, then ring us. Phone advice is free. We will explain the options.

Q: Where Do Bumblebee Nests Usually Turn Up?

Often in the ground or in long grass, and sometimes in a cavity inside or outside the property. Finding a nest in one of these spots is a clue, not a diagnosis, so it is something we confirm by phone or on site. Phone advice is free.

Q: Do You Rehome Bumblebees?

Where possible, yes. We always work to rehome bumblebees where the situation allows. Whether that can happen depends on the individual nest, which is why we look at it first. Phone advice is free.

Q: Could It Be Honeybees, Wasps Or Hornets Instead?

Quite possibly. Bumblebees are often confused with honeybees, wasps or hornets, especially at a glance. Describe the insects and where they are, and we will help you identify them. You can read more on our honeybee removal, wasp nest removal and hornet nest removal pages.

Q: Could A Bumblebee Nest Need Another Visit?

Sometimes. A further visit is occasionally needed, depending on the nest and what the first visit finds. If that happens, we will explain why. If we need to visit your property to survey the problem, a survey charge may apply.

I felt very much at ease, thank you so much on the treatment’s you provided, I can’t thank you enough! I can’t comment on the success of the treatment yet because it’s only been day 2. Again thank you, you and your team are hero’s, I couldn’t do your job.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I needed our solar panels bird-proofed. RS Pest Control moved fast, including arranging for the erection and dismantling of scaffolding, and were very friendly and helpful when I spoke to them on the phone. Everything was done within ten days. I am very pleased.

Cam back out as we weren't happy with the service we received plus cost we paid, so appreciated the effort to make things better. Something should be mentioned from the start that all bate gets removed from 3nd visit so customer knows what to expect.

I recently had to contact RS Pest Control and couldn't be more impressed with the service, their professionalism and responsiveness stood out. The technician arrived on time, was courteous, and took the time to expalin the process. They conducted a comprehensive inspection of my property, identifying potential problems areas. The treatment itself was effective and I apprecaited their use of safe products. The treatment has been effective and has provided peace of mind.

Where Bumblebees Nest Around The Home

A bumblebee nest is often found at ground level, tucked into long grass, much like the nest in the photo. Others are built in cavities, either inside the property or somewhere outside it.

These clues help, but they are not a firm identification on their own. Bumblebees are regularly mistaken for honeybees or wasps, so we check the identification with you on the phone or during a visit. The identification question in our FAQ links to the honeybee, wasp and hornet pages.

Please leave the nest where it is rather than trying to move it yourself, and give us a call.

Our Approach To A Bumblebee Nest

Bumblebee nest removal with us follows four stages, adjusted to the nest and where it sits.

1. Letting Us Know About The Nest

Ring us or send an enquiry describing where the nest is, what the bees look like and roughly how long they have been there.

2. Checking And Identifying The Bees

We inspect the area to identify the issue and make sure the insects are bumblebees. If we need to visit your property to survey the problem, a survey charge may apply.

3. Working On The Nest

Next, we carry out the bumblebee nest work that suits what we find. Wherever we can, we work to rehome the bumblebees. Sometimes a further visit is needed, and we will tell you if that applies.

4. Final Advice From The Technician

Before leaving, the technician gives aftercare advice. Where proofing or deterrents might help, we may suggest them. Any proofing or deterrent work is then individually quoted after assessment.

Aftercare For Bumblebee Nest Jobs

Follow the technician’s aftercare advice, and let us know if you see bumblebees using the same spot again. Proofing or deterrents may be recommended for some properties, although no one can say for certain that bees will not pick the same area again in future.

Business premises are covered too, and you can see what we offer business customers on our commercial pest control page.
