This starter nest was found during a recent visit. A nest this size can quickly grow into a much bigger problem as the weather warms up.

🐝 Bee vs Wasp: Know the Difference!🐝

We often get asked: “Is it a wasp or a bee?” Knowing the difference can help you decide whether to call us in or let nature do its work.

Here’s how to tell them apart:

🔸 Bees
✔️ Fuzzy and round
✔️ Often brown, yellow, or golden
✔️ Gentle pollinators – only sting when threatened
✔️ Beneficial to the environment 🌼

🔸 Wasps
✔️ Sleek and shiny bodies
✔️ Brighter yellow and black stripes
✔️ More aggressive, especially in late summer
✔️ Nuisance at picnics and bins 🍗

🐝 Bees are crucial for pollination, while wasps can become a real pest – especially when nesting near your home.

🐿️ Squirrel damage in loft spaces is more destructive than many people realise.

This loft timber has been heavily gnawed by squirrels — a common behaviour because their teeth never stop growing, so they constantly chew wood, cables, and insulation to wear them down.

⚠️ The risks can include:• Structural timber damage• Electrical fire hazards from chewed wiring• Heat loss from disturbed insulation• Noise and contamination in loft areas

Early signs often include scratching noises, disturbed insulation, or visible gnaw marks like this.

If you suspect squirrel activity in your property, acting early can prevent costly repairs.
