The practical answer
Notify the property manager about bee activity and keep away from the affected area. Explain whether it is an exposed cluster or repeated building entry. Confirm who can authorise assessment and any opening of the building before arranging removal work.
The approval needs to cover the actual job
Permission for a pest visit may not cover wall opening, comb cleanup and reinstatement. Give the manager enough detail to coordinate those tasks without assuming responsibility for payment. Legal responsibility depends on the circumstances and should be checked against current rental guidance if disputed.
What to do before the visit
- Send the affected location and safely obtained images.
- Identify who can provide access and approve additional work.
- Keep the provider and manager informed if the cluster moves.
Questions that define the work
- Who approves access to the cavity or roof?
- Who receives the removal findings and aftercare?
- Will cleanup and repairs be quoted separately?
What happens next?
Ask the manager to coordinate closure of any opening after the provider’s assessment. Keep copies of the agreed scope and remaining work. Do not make a permanent repair yourself merely because visible bee numbers have decreased.
