Stings, Safety, and Responsible Pest Control
Wasps are a common nuisance across the UK, particularly during the warmer months. As temperatures rise, wasp activity increases, with nests rapidly expanding in size. Their aggressive behaviour poses serious health risks, especially to individuals with allergies or respiratory conditions. Swift and decisive action is often necessary to prevent stings and restore safety.
Bees, while generally non-aggressive, can create problems when they establish hives within wall cavities, chimneys, roof voids, or other domestic or commercial structures. However, as essential pollinators, many bee species are legally protected and must be handled with care and consideration.
While wasps pose an immediate threat through stings and aggressive swarming, bee colonies may still cause structural inconvenience or fear among occupants. In both cases, the presence of these insects can interfere with daily routines, outdoor activity, business operations, or public-facing services.
At Choice Pest Control, our approach to wasp and bee control is both practical and ethical. We deliver effective wasp nest treatments using industry-approved insecticides and best practice techniques. For bees, we prioritise relocation over extermination, working in partnership with local beekeepers or specialist handlers wherever possible.
Proper identification, risk assessment, and legally compliant action are key to resolving infestations without harm to people or pollinators. Preventative advice is also part of our service, helping reduce the chances of future nesting.
