Our Story: A Family Tradition of Pest Expertise

Kwik Care Pest Solutions is a small, independent, family-run business with roots that go back over 30 years. Our journey started when my father developed a deep interest in beekeeping and local ecology in his early 20s.

As his knowledge grew, he became the "go-to" person in the local community, helping neighbors safely manage wasp and bee issues. Today, I am proud to carry on that legacy. Having learned the trade directly from my father, I combine traditional local values with modern, industry-leading techniques to keep our communities safe.

Putting Our Customers First

We know that times are tough. While the cost of professional-grade products and fuel has risen significantly since 2020, we believe in looking after our local community.

Despite the rising "cost of living," we have held our Basic Treatment price at just £60 for ground-level nests. We believe in putting our customers’ pockets first, ensuring that professional pest safety remains affordable for everyone in Bristol and Bath.

Why choose an independent family business?

• Direct Communication: You’ll always deal with me, Harry—no call centers, just honest, local service.

• Fair Pricing: We keep our overheads low so we can pass those savings on to you.

• Generational Knowledge: Decades of experience in understanding local pest behavior and nesting patterns.

Wasp Prevention: Protecting Your Home & Business

Whether you manage a busy pub garden in Bath or want to enjoy your garden in Bristol without unwanted guests, prevention is always better (and cheaper) than a cure.

✅ Proactive Tips to Keep Wasps Away

• Clear the Buffet: Wasps love sugary drinks and food scraps. Wipe tables immediately and ensure all outdoor bins have tight-fitting lids.

• Seal the Gaps: Inspect your sheds, lofts, and air bricks in early spring. Sealing small holes now prevents a queen from starting a nest later.

• Natural Deterrents: Essential oils like peppermint or lemongrass can act as a natural repellent for outdoor dining areas.

• Cover Up: In pub gardens or at BBQs, use glass covers or lids. A wasp inside a drink is the most common cause of stings!

• Professional Inspections: For commercial venues, a quick seasonal check by Kwik Care can catch a "golf-ball" sized nest before it becomes a "football" sized problem.

The Wasp Fact File: Friend or Foe?

It’s a common misconception that wasps are just "angry bees." Understanding them helps you stay safe:

The Good: Why we need them

• Nature’s Pest Control: They eat aphids, caterpillars, and flies. A single nest can catch thousands of garden pests a day.

• Pollination: They help your garden bloom by moving pollen between flowers while hunting for nectar.

• The Food Chain: They are a vital food source for local UK birds and wildlife.

The Bad: When they become a risk

• Aggression: Unlike bees, wasps can sting multiple times. They become "tipsy" and more aggressive in late summer as their food source changes.

• Hidden Dangers: They love nesting in wall cavities, lofts, and under decking—places where they are easily disturbed by kids, pets, or DIY work.

• Allergies: For some, a single sting can lead to anaphylaxis. This is why professional removal is essential for high-traffic public areas.

Why Hire a Professional Like Kwik Care?

While DIY sprays are available, they often fail to reach the Queen, meaning the nest will simply bounce back.

1. Safety First: I use specialist protective suits and long-reach equipment to treat nests in high eaves or cramped lofts safely.

2. Professional Grade: I use regulated insecticides that are significantly more powerful than anything found in a hardware store.

3. Guaranteed Results: If I treat a nest and it’s still active after 72 hours, I’ll come back for free.

4. Peace of Mind: No ladders, no stings, and no stress for you.

The Kwik Summary

Wasps are vital for the Bristol and Bath ecosystem, but they don't make good housemates. If you’ve spotted a nest or want to "wasp-proof" your business for the summer, I’m here to help.
