Wasp Nest Removal
Single visit treatment with professional-grade insecticide and physical removal where the nest is accessible. Wasps die back; the nest is treated, not just sprayed.
From £80Wasp nest in the eaves? Rats in the shed? Seagulls on the holiday-let roof? Bedbugs in the changeover? We match you with a local Cornwall pest controller covering your postcode — free written quotes.
Cornwall has its own pest pressure. The coast brings seagulls nesting on holiday-let chimneys from April onwards. The rural cottages and farm buildings bring rats and mice into outbuildings, lofts and feed stores. The hospitality boom — over 11,000 holiday lets across Cornwall — means changeover-day wasp emergencies and bedbug scares that have to be sorted before the next guest arrives. The right Cornwall pest controller already knows all of that.
We're a lead-gen service — to be straight with you: we don't fumigate or proof properties, we match you with someone who does. Submit your postcode and the pest, and we'll route you to the local pest controller covering your postcode (your confirmation email says straight away whether one does) — not a national lead aggregator that resells your details five times over.
Straightforward. No call-centre runaround, no resold leads.
Postcode, the pest (or pests), where you've seen it, how long it's been a problem, and whether it's a home, holiday let or commercial premises. Two minutes via the form.
Your confirmation email tells you straight away whether a pest controller covers your postcode. If one does, they contact you direct with a written quote and an attendance window, and you decide.
The pest controller attends, treats, and (where the pest needs it) returns for follow-up visits and proofing advice. You pay the controller direct — no markup from us, no resold lead, no surprises.

For wasps and rats, same-day or next-day attendance is common during weekdays in season. Mice and bedbug surveys are usually within 48-72 hours. Bird proofing surveys are scheduled within a week or so. Bank holidays, peak-summer weekends and changeover Saturdays book up — get in early.
Search the BPCA directory by postcode. BPCA Servicing Membership requires compliance with BS EN 16636 (the European pest management standard), minimum £10m Employers and £2m Public Liability insurance, and Lantra Level 3 (or equivalent) qualifications for technical staff. Plenty of good solo operators aren’t BPCA members; for them, ask to see training certificates, public liability insurance and CRRU stewardship certification.
Yes — herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls are protected under the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981 and are not covered by Natural England's 2026 general licences GL40-GL42. Any work that kills gulls, destroys nests with eggs, or disturbs actively nesting birds requires an individual licence from Natural England. Lawful gull control is mostly proofing (spikes, netting, post-and-wire systems), scaring deterrents, and removing food sources outside the nesting window. A reputable pest controller works strictly within these limits.
Yes. Cornwall pest controllers offer both insecticide programmes (typically two to three visits, two to three weeks apart) and heat treatment (whole-room temperatures sustained above about 50°C kill all life stages in a single visit). Cost typically £200-£800 depending on rooms and method. Holiday lets and B&Bs should plan around changeover days — we can sometimes match you with a controller doing out-of-hours work.
Yes — restaurants, hotels, holiday lets, food businesses, schools, landlords. Typical contract pricing £30-£80 per month per site for routine inspection, monitoring and rodent station servicing; ask whether call-back cover is included. Food businesses need documented pest management for EHO inspections; ask for certificates, electronic site logs and CPD-qualified technicians.
Block obvious entry points (wire wool in pipe gaps, brush strips under doors), remove open food sources, and document where you've seen droppings or activity. For wasps, do not block the entry to an active nest — stressed wasps inside the cavity will find another route out, often into the room. Persistent activity, multiple sightings, or any sign of infestation in a food-prep area means it's time for a professional.
