Bees
We no longer offer a bee treatment service unless they are a posing a risk to the general public. However, if you are concerned about a bee problem, please contact us and we will discuss this with you. Please also refer to the British Beekeepers Association or the Bumblebee Conservation Trust.
Wasps
As from 26 April 2023, due to high demand for other pest control treatments St Helens Borough Council cannot respond to requests to treat wasp nests. For information on how to treat wasp nests please follow this link Wasp Control
This page will be updated when St Helens Borough Council has the capacity to offer wasp treatments in the future.
Environmental Health will now be taking bookings for ants and fleas.
