Issues rodents pose in Colinton
Damage to Colinton Properties
The sharp teeth of rats, mice, and squirrels allow them to bite through virtually any substance, resulting in severe interior damage when they invade a property
Fire Risk
In the UK, rats cause a significant share of property fires, because they commonly chew through wiring. Their chewing creates sparking that can lead to substantial fire damage.
Disease Spreading
Rodents are carriers of several dangerous diseases, mainly spreading them through their droppings, though bites can sometimes transmit as well. They move through contaminated places like sewers, leaving behind dirt and disease in every area they touch.
Reputation Damage
Rodent problems can cause serious damage to a business’s reputation, creating issues with their standing in the community. Our expert team will implement a targeted control plan to identify and remove any rodents from your property.
Once we handle the immediate issue, we’ll secure your property with proofing. Additionally, we’ll provide guidance on keeping your space rodent-free in the future.
Bird Control Colinton
Pigeons and gulls are making a comeback in cities nationwide, and Colinton is no exception. Dealing with pest birds is a job for specialists—bird proofing and other methods are challenging and require the right tools, training, and experience to get results.

Pest Bird Species in Colinton
Feral Pigeons (Columba Livia)
You can see feral pigeons all across Colinton. They might not seem as troublesome as rats, but don’t be fooled—they’re capable of doing some serious damage.
These birds carry diseases like E. coli and Salmonella, which can infect humans through accidental exposure to their droppings or by breathing in particles from dried guano. Their droppings erode rooftops, corrode pathways, and create slippery walkways.
Gulls (Laridae)
Most folks refer to them as seagulls, but you’ll find them all over Colinton—and not only by the sea!
We specialise in robust gull proofing and nest removal as part of our commercial pest control services. Our strong netting can secure spacious warehouses and office blocks, giving you sturdy defence against these persistent birds. We’re here to keep them off your property.

Insects may be tiny, but the damage they cause sure isn’t. These little critters punch well above their weight when it comes to harming your home and well-being, and never stop bothering Colinton residents.
Insects come in a huge range of shapes and sizes, and each pest issue is unique. One thing that’s always consistent, however, is the Edinburgh Pest Control Co.’s ability to find affordable solutions for every kind of insect problem.
Just some of the many insect species we help with in the Colinton area and beyond include:
Bed bugs
Bed bugs are among the most persistent pests to handle, causing significant discomfort. They make getting a good night’s sleep difficult and transform your home into a source of frustration.
Our bed bug removal specialists can restore peace to your home, a leading service among our domestic solutions.
We have also assisted numerous shared occupancy properties, like hotels and student residences in the Colinton area, addressing serious bed bug problems.
Wasps
In the summer months, wasp nests are often found hidden away under eaves or up in attics around Colinton.
Our team can remove these safely and efficiently, saving you from the considerable risk of dealing with a group of defensive wasps.
Moths
Moths might not attack humans, but they can devastate your finest rugs, carpets, and clothes surprisingly fast.
Safeguard your valued items with our expert moth removal service. We provide reliable, thorough moth removal for lasting protection.
Cockroaches
Cockroaches are both disgusting and hazardous, and they’re more prevalent in the UK than you might think. American and German cockroaches are two of the primary species we manage at Edinburgh Pest Control Co..
Bees
Bees are a protected species, not pests, which means we don’t handle them.
It’s best to get in touch with a local beekeeper in Colinton for more information.
