Wasp Nest Removal
Single visit treatment with professional-grade insecticide and physical removal where the nest is accessible. Same-day attendance 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 the holiday-let roof? Bedbugs in the changeover? We match you with a vetted local Cornwall pest controller covering your postcode — BPCA-aligned, insured, written quotes. Same-day callouts available for wasps and rodents.
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. Our network is BPCA-aligned Cornwall pest controllers with valid Public Liability insurance, CRRU-approved rodenticide stewardship, and Lantra Level 3 (or equivalent) qualifications. Submit your postcode and the pest, and we'll route you to a controller who actually covers your patch — not a national lead aggregator that resells your details five times over.
Straightforward. No call-centre runaround, no resold leads.

A vetted Cornwall pest controller covering your area contacts you direct — usually within hours, often same day for wasps and rodents. You get a written quote, an attendance window, and you decide.
Qualified technician attends, treats, and (where the pest needs it) returns for follow-up visits and proofing advice. You pay the controller direct — no middleman markup, 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.
We prioritise BPCA Servicing Members and Affiliates where available. 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. For solo operators we verify training, public liability and rodenticide stewardship membership before referring.
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. Cornwall pest controllers in our network work strictly within these limits.
Yes. Cornwall pest controllers in our network 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, rodent station servicing and call-back cover. Food businesses need documented pest management for EHO inspections; we match you with BPCA Servicing Members who provide 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.
