Countless pests thrive within British homes. Not only are they warm and sheltered, but there are also numerous sources of food.

Luckily, our local domestic pest control Edinburgh team is on-hand to offer tailor-made solutions to your pest problems. With just a call to our office, one of our technicians can be on the way to eradicate any invasive pests quickly, effectively, and safely.

Rat and Mice Control

In the United Kingdom, there are two types of rodents which cause the vast majority of problems within our home; rats and mice.

One of the largest problems they cause is the spread of disease. When scavenging for food or looking for water, they will contaminate these products for human consumption with their urine and faeces. This can lead to a number of dangerous diseases being spread to human beings.

Additionally, it is not unusual for rats and mice to die in out-of-the-way areas. At best, this will cause an awful smell. At worst, this can lead to a series of health issues; our domestic pest control Edinburgh team have found many carcasses within water reservoirs.

With their large incisors, rodents will also cause damage throughout your property. Mice, rats, and in fact squirrels, will tear apart textiles and insulation for nesting material as well as gnawing on harder materials like wood. They will also commonly chew on electrical wires, causing hundreds of fires throughout the UK every year.

Insect Control

The small size of insects makes them adept at entering your home, although our experiences domestic pest control Edinburgh technicians will make short work of them all:

Wasps: When wasps establish their nest on your property it can lead to a number of potential hazards. Although many people will only suffer a painful sting, others may experience an allergic reaction which can be very dangerous for human health.

With just one visit we can eradicate the nest and remove it from your property.

Cockroaches: Cockroaches are very hard to get rid of without professional help. Using the knowledge we have within our domestic pest control Edinburgh team as well as our knowledge of the most effective products, we will deal with every last member of the population and end the chance of them spreading disease and distress throughout your home.

Biting Insects: While most pests look to feed on food intended for human consumption, some insects will feed on humans themselves. Fleas and bed bugs are tiny in size, sometimes as small as a millimetre, and take blood meals from passing and sleeping humans respectively.

There are no legitimate DIY solutions to infestations of this kind, and it is vital you hire trusted professionals like out domestic pest control Edinburgh which are able to deal with every last insect in your home. Otherwise, the problem will just begin again.

Ants: These highly sophisticated and social animals will quickly spread the word if they find food within your home. Suddenly, you may find a stream of many hundreds coming back and forth within your property.

While individual ants are easy to deal with, so long as the queen survives every fallen worker will be replaced. Our domestic pest control Edinburgh technicians will use their knowledge of the insect to either track the nest and deal with the queen or leave insecticide which will be carried back to her chamber.

Bird Control

When nesting birds take residence within your home, a number of expenses and health hazards can and will follow.

Firstly, even the process of establishing the nest will demand costly repairs. Not only will birds dislodge loose tiles and such, but they will tear apart materials like insulation to build their nest.

Secondly, birds are known to make their nest within gutters and drains. This will disrupt water flow and lead to various forms of damage from flooding and water damage to burst pipes.

Additionally, there is the problem of disease. Birds carry many contagions which can result in serious illness for any infected humans. Not only can a build-up of their guano present a risk for anyone nearby, but their nesting material when disturbed and inhaled will similarly lead to infection.

Our domestic pest control Edinburgh team will deal with any flying pests which are on your property, as well as putting into place preventative measures which will stop the same problem from repeating itself.

Flying Insects

There are a number of fly species which can infest our homes while causing distress and spread of disease. Their ability to breed rapidly means that what can begin with one or two insects can quickly result in many hundreds flying around your home scavenging for food.

Flies do not discriminate between refuse and fresh food, happily going between the two. This means that food intended for human consumption is commonly contaminated by bacteria and other contagions attached to the hairs on the legs of flies.

By installing a series of traps and insecticides, our domestic pest control Edinburgh personnel will make sure that the entire colony of flies is dealt with effectively. By ensuring none are left within your property, we will guarantee a few breeding pairs will not just begin the process anew.
