Pest control

How to deal with unwanted pests, and what to do if you find a bees' nest.

Bees

If you discover a swarm or colony of bees in your garden, do not destroy it. Take a look at the Oxfordshire Beekeepers' Association website for details of your local beekeepers, who will be able to advise you. Alternatively, you could contact your local branch of Thames Valley Police, who will then alert your nearest beekeeper.

Pests

Contact your local district council for advice and help in dealing with the following:

  • wasps' nests
  • cockroaches
  • fleas
  • mice
  • rats
