Issues rodents pose in Blackburn
Damage to Blackburn Properties
Armed with teeth that can tear through almost anything, rats, mice, and squirrels can do extensive damage to the interior of any property they invade.
Fire Risk
In the UK, rats are one of the top culprits behind property fires. Their habit of chewing on electrical wires can easily trigger sparks, leading to potentially devastating outcomes.
Disease Spreading
Rodents are carriers of all kinds of nasty diseases, which they can spread through their droppings and, on rare occasions, bites. They also crawl through filthy places like sewers, leaving a trail of dirt and contamination wherever they go.
Reputation Damage
For businesses, a rodent problem can be disastrous, hurting their standing in the local community. Our Rodent Control team is the best in town, and will implement an effective rodent control program to get rid of the infestation.
Once the immediate issue is handled, we’ll go a step further by adding proofing measures to keep rodents from coming back. And we’ll provide useful tips for keeping rodents away from your property.
Bird Control Blackburn
Pigeons and gulls are making a comeback in cities nationwide, and Blackburn is part of this trend. Controlling pest birds requires experienced professionals—bird proofing and other methods are challenging and require the right tools, training, and experience to get results.
Have a look at our Blackburn services to discover all the ways we can help you keep these nuisance birds under control.
Pest Bird Species in Blackburn
Feral Pigeons (Columba Livia)
Pigeons are everywhere in Blackburn. They might not seem as troublesome as rats, but don’t be fooled—they’re capable of doing some serious damage.
They carry harmful diseases such as E. coli and Salmonella, spreading to humans through accidental contact with droppings or airborne particles. Their droppings erode rooftops, corrode pathways, and create slippery walkways.
Gulls (Laridae)
Known to many as seagulls, these birds are a common sight throughout the Blackburn area, and not limited to coastal spots.
Our specialised services for businesses involve gull proofing and nest removal, featuring heavy-duty netting intended to secure large structures like warehouses and office buildings. If your business needs effective protection from gulls, our team has the gear and know-how to secure your space.
