I contacted Swarmcatcher to enquire about removing the bees that had set up home in a disused chimney of my elderly parent’s home in Northamptonshire. There was a large hive in the chimney, the bees had been there 5 years. I received expert advice from the Swarmcatcher team, who gave me clear and detailed information regarding the removal process and associated costs. They subsequently carried out the removal work to their quoted cost and schedule. The bees are now safely rehomed and my parent’s house no longer ‘hums’ all summer. I would thoroughly recommend Swarmcatcher.

After speaking to a number of “experts” we finally came across SwarmCatcher. They removed the bees from a challenging spot which was 8 meters above the ground. They carried out the work without fuss and kept us involved, sharing their knowledge throughout the process. A great experience and good job done, thanks. Would thoroughly recommend them.

Two long-standing colonies of bees removed from our barn roof and walls along with buckets full of honeycomb. The Swarmcatcher team were friendly, knowledgeable and tidy. They even brought a press so we could have some honey.

Bees moving into your home is stressful. I love nature but having a swarm come knocking and moving in uninvited was a shock. Local beekeepers were on hand to identify that they were honey bees, but as to what we then do…wow. SWARMCATCHER was the first company I contacted and was very impressed with the advice rather than hard sell approach from Bev. I also contacted Beegone so I could compare as to be honest they seems to be the only two companies carrying out live removals. Bev even advised to contact them to compare, as I said no hard sell at all. Less said about them the better. Prices for people who clearly have nothing better to spend money on.

So job was done in a day by Ian and his son Gabe who were friendly and very knowledgeable and worked extremely well and professionally. They had to then come back to finish off and bee proof the house. This was done again quickly and at no inconvenience to us at all. And they to my mind wouldn’t finish the job until I was 100% happy. Nothing was too much trouble. Obviously the spring is a very very busy time for the company so there was a few weeks wait but worth it.

The whole experience with SWARMCATCHER was brilliant. I have just paid the invoice and it was exactly (if not slightly better) than expected. I can not praise this company highly enough. Truely. Thank you so much!

I have gone in my shed this morning to tidy it and when I went to move a move a swarm of bees came out. I have been stung, I now have my shed door wide open box half falling out and a swarm of angry bees. These are most likely bumble bees but we would need images to confirm that.

I spoke to a very helpful gentleman who gave me free expert advice enabling the bees to be left alone to go away of their own accord.
Many thanks for all your help.

The guys turned up and worked non stop. They cleared the bees from the chimney and then proofed it so that it could breathe and they also opened up the bottom of the chimney and removed an unbelievable amount of dead bees . Now we know why that room had a musky smell and lots of moths.

Great service the bees have been in my chimney for 4 years and plaguing me and my neighbours. Swarmcatcher responded in a professional friendly manner. They made the whole process easy. And the bees have been saved.

A huge thank you to Beverly, who contacted me immediately I posted my concerns, that bees had returned and made home again in the outside wall of our home. I have a life long fear of bees, however after talking with her, she has reassured me they are not honey bees and best left as they are doing a wonderful job. Will adhere to her valued advice. Thank you so much again, a truly helpful website.
