At HERDpestcontrol, we pride ourselves on being one of the very few pest control companies in Scotland—and the UK—specialising in the safe and ethical removal of honey bees from buildings. We are also very proud to be members of the UK Bee removers organisation (UKBR). With our expert knowledge and a deep respect for these vital pollinators, we offer a service that’s both environmentally conscious and meticulously planned.
Why Honey Bee Removal Requires a Specialist
Unlike other pest issues, removing a colony of honey bees is not a simple task. It often involves gaining access to hard-to-reach areas, which may even require cutting into the structure of a building. That’s why careful planning and professional assessment are essential.
At HERDpestcontrol, we begin every job with a comprehensive on-site survey, using advanced thermal imaging technology and visual colony inspections to accurately locate and assess the bee colony. This crucial first step enables us to:
• Plan the most cost-effective and least invasive approach to removal
• Minimise potential damage to your property
• Identify and coordinate with any additional trades required, such as roofers, electricians, plumbers, scaffolders, or builders
Full-Service Bee Removal & Project Management
What sets us apart is not just our ability to remove the bees, but our commitment to managing the entire process for you. From organising skilled trades to overseeing the logistics of the removal and restoration, HERDpestcontrol offers a fully managed service, taking the stress off your shoulders.
A Delicate Balance: Protecting Your Property & Scotland’s Bees
While honey bees are a vital part of our ecosystem and play a key role in pollination, a colony nesting inside a building can quickly become a serious problem:
• Honey leakage through ceilings and walls
• Fire risks due to wax and comb structures
• Blocked chimneys and structural concerns
Early intervention is key, and that’s where we come in. Our trained experts ensure the humane removal of bees, and in 95% of cases, we successfully relocate the colony through our trusted sister company, East Neuk Apiaries in Fife (www.eastneukapiaries.scot).
Serving All of Scotland
Whether you’re in the heart of Edinburgh, a coastal village in Fife, the Highlands, or the Islands, HERDpestcontrol is equipped and ready to assist. We cover the entire nation with our ethical and professional bee removal service.
