Another honey bee swarm rescued yesterday. Its certainly a swarm week. If you see a swarm like this give me a call. We will remove it FREE OF CHARGE..and rehome it in one of our hives
There are 20,000 species of wasps in the world, but in the UK we primarily have two, the German Wasp and the Common Wasp. They are social insects that form colonies inside nests specially constructed in soil, bark, roof spaces and in cavities in trees and walls. Each colony has its own queen, she is larger than the workers and starts a new nest each year. The fertilized queen emerges from her hibernation around mid-April and begins her search for a suitable site to build her nest. Once a site is located she searches for sources of wood fibre, such as trees, logs, fences and even cardboard. With her strong jaws she scrapes off bits of wood fibre, uses the saliva in her mouth to break it down until they form a soft paper pulp and begins to build her nest. The first to be born will be sterile females who will be the workers. The queen rears the first brood of worker wasps herself and once hatched these workers will carry on the building of the nest. They then too gather wood fibres and soften it by chewing and mixing with saliva. The paper is then used to make cells for brood rearing. The queen is the only wasp able to lay eggs and remains in the nest laying more eggs for further broods. By late summer the wasp nest can contain in excess of 10,000 wasps!

We had a wasps nest which was being accessed underneath some UPCV cladding above the back door. The wasps initially... didn’t pose a problem but suddenly increased in number and started to dive bomb and attack whenever we went out.Danny Sykes visited us the same day I called. 5 minutes and a good blast of dry powder later, job done. No more wasps!It’s great to be able to walk outside without ducking down in an attempt to avoid angry wasps. Money well spent.read more

Rang Sykes after reading reviews and they came within a few hours. Had some scrating in a stud wall. They confirmed it... was rodents. They offered me all the options and advised what needed to be done for each.The work was completed very fast and with little mess. They then checked all around my property to make sure no other problems. The price was very good for the work done. I asked about a couple of other things (ants & slugs) & instead of taking more money from me, gave me good advice instead.Overall great honest, professional work. Highly recommend. 5 star serviceread more

Absolutely fantastic. We had a tree bee problem up on the guttering. Received various quotes averaging £110. This one... was by far the cheapest at £65, so naturally, we were a bit dubious wondering whether Sykes would do the job properly with them being half the price of others.However, the chap was fantastic. Came promptly and was very honest, he actually said the bee problem would go away itself in around 4 weeks if we wanted to save our money. We contemplated leaving them alone but decided 4 weeks is a long time as the kids refuse to go out in the garden with bees swarming over.After the pest controller sprayed some stuff, sods law, it started pouring down and the rain didn't stop for 4/5 days! We were worried the chemicals that he had sprayed would get washed away but we've had a few days of dry weather now and haven't seen any bees so it appears whatever he sprayed worked.Lovely, lovely chap. Honest, reliable and very knowledgeable.I hope we never need the service again! But if we do, would definitely use Sykes.Thank you.read more
