🐝 BEE SEASON IS HERE 🐝

This time of year we receive a huge number of calls about wasps around homes, gardens, lofts and businesses, but they turn out to be bees. Before taking action, it’s important to know what you have? Bees are one of the most important pollinators we have in the UK and should be protected wherever possible.

🇬🇧 The UK is home to over 270 species of bees, including:
• Honey bees
• Bumblebees
• Solitary bees

Many species are sadly declining due to habitat loss, pesticides and climate change.

🌼 Why are bees so important?
Bees pollinate crops, flowers and wild plants, helping produce much of the food we eat and supporting our entire ecosystem. Without bees, both agriculture and wildlife would suffer massively.

🐝 Honey bee swarm?
If you see a large cluster of honey bees hanging from a tree, fence or wall, this is often a swarm looking for a new home. Swarming honey bees are usually quite calm and, in most cases, can be safely collected by a local beekeeper.

📞 If you believe you have a honey bee swarm, we strongly recommend contacting a registered beekeeper first rather than treating them.

⚠️ However, not all stinging insects are bees. Wasps and certain problem species may still require professional pest control treatment depending on the situation.

At Hatfield’s Pest Control, we always aim to identify the species correctly and preserve bees whenever possible. 🐝

🪳 COCKROACHES – FAST BREEDING, HARD TO SPOT & A SERIOUS HEALTH RISK 🪳

Cockroaches are one of the most unhygienic pests found in kitchens, food businesses and commercial premises. They can spread bacteria such as Salmonella and E. coli by crawling over food, worktops, utensils and storage areas.

The two most common species we deal with are:

🔸 German Cockroaches
These are the most common indoor species found in restaurants, takeaways and kitchens. They breed extremely quickly — a single female can produce hundreds of offspring in her lifetime. They love warm environments and are often found hiding behind appliances, inside cupboards and around pipework.

🔸 Oriental Cockroaches
Larger and darker in colour, these are commonly found in drains, basements, bin stores and damp areas. They thrive in moisture and can spread harmful bacteria from sewage and waste areas into kitchens and food prep zones.

⚠️ Cockroaches can contaminate:
❌ Food & ingredients
❌ Food preparation surfaces
❌ Packaging & stock
❌ Utensils & equipment

For food businesses, even one sighting can lead to:
• Failed hygiene inspections
• Damage to reputation
• Customer complaints
• Loss of business
• Possible enforcement action

The scary part?
Cockroaches are nocturnal and experts at hiding — if you’re seeing one, there’s a good chance many more are hidden nearby.

At Hatfield’s Pest Control, we provide fast, discreet and effective cockroach control for:
✔ Restaurants
✔ Takeaways
✔ Cafes
✔ Commercial kitchens
✔ Warehouses
✔ Domestic properties

📞 Don’t let a small issue become a major infestation.

🐜 ANTS ARE BACK AS THE WEATHER WARMS UP! ☀️

As temperatures rise, we’re already seeing a surge in ant activity across homes and businesses.

Here are the 3 main culprits we deal with:

🔹 Garden Ants (Black Ants)
Common outside but quickly become a nuisance when they find their way indoors. Often nesting under paving, driveways, and patios.

🔹 Ghost Ants
Tiny, pale ants that are hard to spot but can quickly take over kitchens and food areas. A growing issue in UK properties.

🔹 Pharaoh Ants
A serious indoor pest – these spread rapidly and can be very difficult to control without professional treatment.

⚠️ DIY treatments often make infestations worse by spreading colonies.

✅ Full inspections
✅ Targeted professional treatments
✅ Long-term prevention advice

Don’t let a small problem turn into a full infestation.
