Bird & seagull proofing advice and Cork pest guides
Wasp nest removal in Cork: what it costs and how fast it works
A typical Cork wasp nest is treated in under 30 minutes for a fixed price. Here is what happens, what it costs, and why DIY sprays usually make it worse.
WaspsWasp, bee or hornet? How to tell what is in your Cork garden
Bees get treated by mistake every summer in Cork. A quick look at shape, colour and flight tells you which insect you have — and whether it needs treating at all.
Pest controlWhy rats and mice move into Cork homes every autumn
Rodent calls across Cork roughly double from September. Cold nights, cut fields and one 6mm gap are usually all it takes.
Pest controlTermites in Ireland: what is really eating your timber
People across Cork search for termite treatment every month. Ireland has no established termite population — but the damage they are seeing is real, and treatable.
Cork livingSeagulls in Cork city: the law, the mess and what actually works
Nesting gulls are a Cork city summer ritual. Proofing works — but only if it goes up before the nest does, and only within what the law allows.
Cork livingLandlords and pest control in Cork: who is responsible for what
Rodents in a rented house rarely start with the tenant. Here is the practical split of responsibility, and the paperwork worth keeping.
Bird & seagull proofing — your questions
- Can gull nests or eggs be removed?
- Do not disturb active nests, eggs or chicks. Irish wildlife protections apply; seek advice on the current legal position before any work. Preventative proofing must not trap birds.
- What works under solar panels?
- A suitable perimeter mesh can exclude pigeons while leaving panel ventilation and roof drainage clear. The roof, fixings and any occupied nests must be assessed first.
