Why are rodents in Duns such a big concern
Damage to Duns Properties
With remarkably strong teeth that can bite through almost any substance, these rodents can cause serious interior damage in any property they enter.
Fire Risk
Rats are responsible for a large number of property fires in the UK, thanks to their tendency to chew through electrical wiring. This gnawing often results in hazardous sparking that can cause severe damage.
Disease Spreading
Rodents carry a wide array of nasty diseases which they pass along in their droppings and, sometimes, through bites. They move through some of the filthiest places, like sewers, dragging grime and contamination with them wherever they go.
Reputation Damage
For a business, a rodent infestation can be catastrophic, jeopardizing their standing in the community. Our Rodent Control team is dedicated to protecting local businesses, with a robust program to locate and eliminate the infestation.
After eliminating the infestation, we’ll add proofing to keep them out for good. We’ll also equip you with advice on the best ways to keep them out for good.
Bird Control Duns
Pigeons and gulls are on the rise in urban areas nationwide, and Duns is no exception. Pest bird problems often require a professional touch. Bird control methods like proofing can be tricky and require specialized tools and a lot of know-how to get it done right.
Take a look at our Duns services to see all the pest control options available to help you deal with these pesky birds.
Pest Bird Species in Duns
Feral Pigeons (Columba Livia)
Pigeons are everywhere in Duns. While they might not have the same reputation as rats, they can still cause real harm.
They carry harmful diseases such as E. coli and Salmonella, which can infect humans through accidental exposure to their droppings or by breathing in particles from dried guano. They leave droppings everywhere, which can damage roofs and make paths dangerously slippery.
Gulls (Laridae)
Often referred to as seagulls, you’ll find these birds everywhere throughout the Duns area, and not limited to coastal spots.
Our specialised services for businesses involve gull proofing and nest removal, with durable netting built for protecting large structures like warehouses and office buildings. If your property requires reliable gull prevention, our team has the tools and expertise to get the job done.

Insect Control Duns
Insects are small, but their effects on homes and health can be major. All over Duns, these pests present major concerns for both residents and businesses.
There’s a wide variety of insect types out there, each with different behaviours and tendencies. While no two pest situations are identical, our team at Edinburgh Pest Control Co. offers effective, budget-friendly options to handle each one.
Here are a few insect pests we work with in Duns and nearby regions include:
Bed bugs
One of the most stubborn pests around, a bed bug infestation is a true nightmare, making sleep impossible and transforming your peaceful home into a space you’d rather escape.
We’re here to help you get your home back to normal with a effective bed bug removal plan that’s a top choice among our residential pest control solutions.
We’ve also helped a range of communal properties across Duns, such as hotels and student accommodations, to eliminate widespread bed bug infestations.
Wasps
Throughout the summer, it’s not uncommon to find wasp nests under the eaves or in the attic of Duns properties.
Our team can remove these safely and efficiently, preventing you from having to risk facing an agitated swarm of wasps.
Moths
Moths may not cause physical harm to humans, they can be highly destructive to your valuable carpets, rugs, and clothing.
Protect your valuable furnishings with professional moth infestation removal. Our team has the experience and tools necessary to safely address any moth problem.
Cockroaches
Cockroaches are gross and dangerous, and they’re more common in the UK than you’d think. At Edinburgh Pest Control Co., two of the most common species we handle are American and German cockroaches.
Bees
Bees are a protected species, not pests, which means we don’t handle them.
If you need assistance with bees, a local beekeeper in Duns is your best option.
