Hello,
I’ve been searching lots of forums but struggling to find an answer so very grateful for any advice.
What happens if a honeybee nest somewhere in the structure of a house is left alone? Will it cause structural damage? Secondly, what would happen if the landlord sealed the entrance to the nest without removing the honeycomb/dormant bees?
The entire side of the roof on an extension was never finished or sealed, allowing rain to get in, so it all needs sealing up to make it water tight. But honeybees have nested too, so will get sealed in. I’m assuming they’re dormant and still in there.
I will note that this is a rented property. We would get them professionally removed if it was up to us, due to worry of future damage and not wanting to kill them.
The landlord wants to kill them. But if she was to get them killed, without removing the honeycomb, then seal it all up, would this cause future problems?
I’ve read in America that a particular species of moth can move in which then chew through wood etc causing all sorts of damage. Is this the case in the uk?
Any advice hugely appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Kate
