Pests and infestation
NOTICE: Due to the new enhanced health protection measures or so called “local lockdown” local restriction in Caerphilly County Borough Council, we are currently providing a reduced pest control service. We now have to Service requests will be prioritised calls based on the risk to public health, and therefore we will prioritise pest control issues such as rats inside houses.

Bees
Bees are one of the most important species of insect on the planet. Without them the flowering plants in our homes and gardens would not get pollinated and our agricultural industry would be ruined.
As result of their importance
we do not treat for bees.
We would recommend that unless they are causing great distress, bumblebee nests should be left alone. If you cannot live with them then help is available. The
British Beekeepers Association website provides useful information about Honey Bee identification and a post code search to find a local swarm collector. The
Cardiff, Vale and Valleys Beekeepers can also advise on swarms.
