Description |
What to Do |
| Honey Bee Swarm |
A temporary cluster of bees resting during relocation (usually on a tree, fence, or wall). No nest, no comb. |
Contact your local British Beekeepers Association (BBKA) – they offer free swarm collections. |
| Honey Bee Colony |
A permanent, established nest inside your property (wall voids, roof spaces, chimneys). Includes queen, comb, and thousands of bees. |
Requires professional live removal and relocation. Pestforce can help. |
| Wasps |
More aggressive, papery nests, often in lofts, sheds, or eaves. Slimmer bodies than bees. |
Pestforce offers safe and effective wasp nest removal. |
| Bumblebees / Solitary Bees |
Bumblebees nest in compost heaps, bird boxes or under sheds. Solitary bees in mortar holes or soil. |
Usually best left alone. We can advise if they pose a risk. |

Discovering Honey Bees at Your Residence
Finding bees within your dwelling demands immediate attention.
Our initial step involves a comprehensive site survey, utilising advanced thermal imaging technology to pinpoint bee colonies.
This innovative approach allows us to ascertain the full scale of the infestation, recognising that some bee colonies, particularly those established over long durations, may harbour old combs invisible to thermal detection.
We advocate for the complete removal of these combs to avert future bee invasions.
Our Methodical Bee Relocation Approach
- Initial Survey: Conducting an in-depth evaluation to locate the bees and assess infestation levels.
- Quotation: Providing a detailed quote, considering any necessary special equipment, structural modifications, and the complexity of bee removal.
- Preparation for Removal: Organizing safe access and prepping for the secure extraction of the bee colony.
- Bee Extraction: Skillfully removing the bees, their comb, and reserves, leaving no trace to deter future colonies.
- Property Restoration: Diligently returning your property to its original condition, especially in heritage buildings requiring sensitive handling.
- Bee Proofing: Implementing measures to shield previously affected areas from new infestations as part of the restoration process.
- Relocation and Aftercare: Transferring the bees to a new habitat where they can thrive and contribute to local agriculture through pollination.
The Necessity for Bee Removal Ignoring a bee infestation can lead to severe implications:
- Structural Damage: Compromising the integrity of your property.
- Attracting Other Pests: Bees can draw moths, flies, and more.
- Health Risks: The danger of bee stings, especially to those with allergies, children, and pets.

Woodworm Treatment in Rushden
Preserve Your Property from Destructive Wood-Boring Beetles
At Pestforce Rushden, we understand how serious a woodworm infestation can be. Left untreated, these tiny larvae can quietly weaken floorboards, joists, and treasured timber features – putting your property at real structural risk.
Spotting the Signs of Woodworm
If you’ve noticed small, round holes in exposed timber or fine dust (frass) around wooden furniture or beams, you may be dealing with active woodworm.
These beetle larvae thrive in older or untreated wood – and Rushden homes with heritage features are often most vulnerable.
Professional Woodworm Treatment That Works
Our proven woodworm solution involves the targeted use of a universal wood-boring insecticide – formulated to eliminate all major species of wood-boring beetle.
We treat all affected areas with care and precision, ensuring long-term protection for your home or business.
What to Expect During Treatment
Before full application, we carry out a patch test to check wood compatibility. Once approved, our team ensures full coverage of at-risk timber. The treatment may slightly darken the wood – but it guarantees peace of mind and future protection.
Prevention is Better Than Cure
Don’t wait for woodworm damage to escalate. At Pestforce Rushden, we offer preventative woodworm treatments to protect your property before costly repairs are needed.
Book your consultation today and let Pestforce Rushden keep your woodwork safe for the future.
