Wasp Nest Removal
Single visit treatment with professional-grade insecticide and physical removal where the nest is accessible. Same-day callouts in season (April-October). Wasps die back; the nest is treated, not just sprayed.
From £80Wasp nest in the eaves? Rats in the shed? Seagulls on a holiday-let roof? Bedbugs in a changeover? We'll match you with a vetted local pest controller covering TR18, TR19 and TR20 and the surrounding villages. BPCA-aligned, insured, written quotes. Same-day callouts available for wasps and rodents.
Penzance (TR18-TR20) is the gateway to the far west — Marazion, Newlyn, Mousehole, St Buryan, Sennen, Land's End, St Just and Pendeen. The coastal location brings the expected seagull and pigeon proofing work, but Penzance also has Cornwall's most concentrated harbour-front restaurant scene (Newlyn fish quay, Mousehole's village pubs) and that drives steady food-business commercial contracts. Plus the regular pest work in the fishing-village terrace housing that lines the area.
Drive times stretch in the far west — Sennen and Land's End add 45-60 minutes to a Penzance start time. Mousehole and Newlyn harbour-front cottages are stone-built with generations-deep mouse and rat ingress points; treatment usually pairs with proofing work that's more like minor building repair than pest control. Gull proofing on harbour-front rooftops is a Penzance staple — done properly with spikes, netting and post-and-wire it gives 5-10 years of protection.
Booking a pest controller in Penzance shouldn't be a guessing game. Here's how the match works.
Fill in the quote form: your Penzance 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.
We pass your details to a vetted Cornwall pest controller covering Penzance. They contact you direct with a written quote — usually within hours, often same-day for wasps and rodents in season.
Your matched controller attends, treats and (where the pest needs it) returns for follow-up visits and proofing advice. You sign off and pay them direct — no middleman markup, no resold lead.

Gulls are protected under the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981 and herring/lesser black-backed gulls are not on Natural England's 2026 general licences. Lawful gull control is mainly proofing (spikes, netting, post-and-wire systems), scaring deterrents and removing food sources outside the nesting window. Killing or nest destruction requires an individual licence from Natural England — see our seagull guide.
