Bees, wasps, and hornets play an important role in our ecosystems as pollinators and as pest controllers, feeding on other pests. But when they get too close to home, these flying insects can be a real risk with their stings and nesting habits. At Ecocare, we know how to handle all kinds of flying insects. Our team uses safe and effective methods to manage their nests, removing them in the most suitable way—while keeping things as eco-friendly as possible.

Wasps
With around 9,000 species of wasps in the UK, most of us are familiar with these buzzing insects. But did you know that only nine species actually build the large, social nests we typically think of? These paper-like nests are often hidden in places like walls, attics, or under eaves, which can cause significant property damage and pose safety risks. Wasps eat anything sugary and are also natural predators of common pests like aphids, caterpillars, and even moths.
They play an important role as pollinators too. Their nests are active from spring through to autumn, and they usually start to become a nuisance around August when the larvae in their nests are gone, and they begin hunting for sugary foods. Wasps are known for their aggressive nature and can sting multiple times if provoked. Don’t let them intrude your garden party! We handle wasps by Inspecting your property to find wasp nests and assess the extent of the infestation.
We handle wasps by:
Inspecting your property to find wasp nests and assess the extent of the infestation.
Removing nests using eco-friendly, targeted methods that won’t disturb the surrounding environment.
Sealing entry points to prevent future wasps from nesting.
Bees
Bees are important pollinators and come in several species, with bumblebees, honeybees, and stingless bees being the most common. Unlike wasps, bees aren’t aggressive unless they feel threatened, and they typically sting to protect their hive or when they’re in danger. Bees often build their hives in walls, chimneys, or attics, which can cause long-term issues like honey leakage that attracts other pests and leads to structural damage.
While these industrious insects are vital for our ecosystem, their choice of nesting locations can pose significant challenges for property owners. What starts as a small colony can quickly develop into a complex hive system, potentially compromising your building's integrity while creating an unfortunately attractive environment for secondary pest issues. Leave them to buzz in natural surroundings.
Let us remove them by:
Inspecting the property and assessing whether the bees can be relocated.
Safely and humanely remove the hive using eco-friendly methods.
Sealing entry points to prevent future bee infestations.
Flies
Flies are common in urban, suburban, and rural areas, including farms. These buzzy insects are drawn to decaying organic matter, which is why they're often found in places with poor sanitation or around waste. Flies are tough to get rid of on your own – their intricate eyes give them nearly a 360-degree field of vision, even allowing them to see behind themselves, making them experts at dodging fly swatters! Just one pair of houseflies can lead to over 1 million offspring in a matter of weeks, turning your minor annoyance into a full-blown infestation. And despite their small size, they're remarkably resilient – able to detect approaching threats from any direction and adapt to various environmental conditions.
Flies reproduce quickly and can spread diseases and foodborne illnesses by contaminating food. Their presence can become a real problem in both residential and commercial spaces, especially in the food service industry, where they're attracted to improperly stored food and waste. Think of them as London's most persistent restaurant critics – they'll find their way into even the most carefully maintained kitchens, and once they've taken up residence, they're not shy about inviting the entire extended family. And much like certain challenging tenants, they seem to have a particular talent for making themselves at home exactly where they're least welcome.
We make the flies fly away by:
Offering thorough cleaning services.
Removing and addressing attractants to reduce the risk of future infestations.
Using eco-friendly pest control sprays and traps designed to eliminate flies and prevent them from returning.
Moths
Moths come in 160,000 species worldwide and are flying insects that feed on fibers like wool, fur, silk, and clothing. The most common types we deal with in residential and commercial properties are brown house moths, flour moths, clothes moths, and single-spotted clothes moths. Moths can be tricky to spot, as they can travel long distances and even migrate between units in storage facilities.
They're tough little creatures, with some species able to survive underwater. Moths lay their eggs in dark, undisturbed areas like closets and cupboards, where their larvae feed on fabrics and stored food. A moth infestation can quickly become a big problem for both your home and business, which makes it important to act fast if you spot them in your stored food or in your closet. Don't let them eat your favourite shirts!
Like silent fashion critics with questionable taste, these nocturnal nuisances have a particular fondness for your most expensive garments. And while you might think that vintage cashmere was safely tucked away in storage, these persistent pests have already drafted their own lease agreement with your wardrobe, complete with an all-access pass to your finest wools.
Let us deal with them by:
Inspecting your property to identify the moth species and assess the extent of the infestation.
Applying targeted treatments, including sprays and traps.
Offering guidance on how to store food and clean to prevent future issues.
