Professional Pest Control Services in Henley on Thames

We don’t regard bumblebees as pests, OK, they are equipped with a venom sac and a stinger and will sting you but usually as a form of defence, if they’re trapped in your clothing or hair for example. We get requests to come out and treat all manner of flying insects and for the majority of people they accept that bumbles aren’t a threat, but we still get calls to come out and deal with these relatively harmless insects. We need to accept the presence of bumblebees and welcome them because of the important role they play as pollinators, as we move into the latter half of our summer we will see the new Queen bumbles emerge and they just want to feed and fatten up to get through the winter. The existing colony will die off so if you do find yourself with a bumblebee nest in an inconvenient place, don’t reach for the phone to call out pest control, instead reach for a cup of tea or a glass of wine and enjoy watching these industrious little insects as they’ll soon be gone of their own accord.
