Elimination

It is not recommended to destroy a bumblebee nest, as these insects play an essential role in pollination. However, intervention may be considered if their nest is close to homes or in a wall cavity. In this case, it is important to identify the entrance of the nest, often located in the ground or an external opening.

If action is required, it must be taken with caution. Do not obstruct the entrance of the nest with any material, as this would prevent the bumblebees from coming out and could cause them to look for another way out... sometimes inside the house.

You can also use a capture device, such as a Maheu&Maheu Universal Glue Trap , placed near the nest entrance. Bumblebees that land there will remain stuck, which helps to reduce activity around the nest.

The intervention should ideally take place at night, in the absence of natural light. It is strongly recommended to wear protective clothing such as a coverall, a hat with mosquito net and resistant gloves.
For more safety, you can place a flashlight on the ground, directed towards the nest entrance. Position yourself outside the light beam: that way, the bees that escape will be attracted by the light and will move away from it.

Finally, for more fearful people, it can be reassuring to have at hand a device designed to neutralize flying insects that approach too closely.

Do not hesitate to request the intervention of a qualified technician from our team if the nest is not visible or if you prefer not to approach it.
