Call 07974 278830 Our approach ## Humane methods first,chemicals last Plenty of pest control comes down to laying poison and moving on. That is not how this business works. Poison creates secondary risks — to pets, to wildlife, and to anything that eats a dying rodent — and it rarely fixes the reason the pest arrived in the first place. The job starts by finding how they are getting in and what is keeping them there. Proof the building, remove the attraction, trap what is already inside. Where a treatment genuinely is the right call, you will be told why before anything is used. - ### Rodenticides avoided where possible Entry points and harbourage dealt with first. Standard bait blocks are used only if the situation requires it or you specifically ask for them. - ### Rabbits & squirrels handled legally and humanely Live trapping or a legal sub-12 ft/lb air rifle, rather than harsher methods. - ### Bees rehomed, never killed Colonies and swarms are relocated safely. Paul has been rehoming bees for around 10 years. - ### Proofing that stops the repeat visit Netting, spikes, deterrents and physical sealing so gulls, pigeons and rodents do not simply return next season. About ## Run by Paul Clarke, from Par Pest Control Kernow is an owner-operated business covering St Austell and the surrounding areas of Cornwall. Paul spent 15 years as a restoration builder, and over that time clients kept asking him to deal with pest problems while he was already on site — so it grew naturally into a business of its own. Today he handles everything from rats, wasps and moles to gull and bird proofing, bringing the same hands-on, no-nonsense approach he built his building reputation on. Years of restoration work means he reads a building properly: where a roof is open, where a wall cavity runs, where a rodent is actually getting in — not just where the droppings are. What sets Paul apart is his approach to treatment: he avoids poisons wherever possible. Standard bait blocks are only used if a customer specifically requests them or the situation genuinely requires it, rabbits and squirrels are handled with live trapping or legal humane methods, and bees are never exterminated — they are safely rehomed, something Paul has been doing for around 10 years. He works with both homes and businesses across Cornwall — pubs, restaurants, farms, holiday lets and landlords included — offering one-off call-outs and ongoing preventative contracts. You speak to Paul, and Paul does the work. ### At a glance OwnerPaul Clarke Experience15+ years BasedPar, St Austell, Cornwall HoursOpen 24 hours, 7 days a week CustomersDomestic & commercial VisitsOne-off call-outs & contracts Request an estimate Service areas ## Covering mid & south Cornwall Based in Par, working across St Austell and out to Truro, Bodmin and Newquay.

Rodenticides are avoided wherever possible — the first move is always finding the entry points, proofing the property and trapping. Standard bait blocks are a last resort, not a default. What happens to bees?Bees are never exterminated. They are safely rehomed, something Paul has been doing for around 10 years. If you have a swarm or a colony in a chimney, wall or roof, call before anyone treats it. How do you deal with rabbits and squirrels?With live trapping or a legal sub-12 ft/lb air rifle — humane, controlled methods suited to gardens, smallholdings and farmland rather than harsher alternatives. Do you work with businesses as well as homes?Yes. Pubs, restaurants, farms, holiday lets and landlords are a large part of the work, on both one-off call-outs and ongoing preventative contracts.
