Why are rodents in Galashiels such a big concern
Damage to Galashiels Properties
Armed with teeth that can tear through almost anything, these rodents can cause serious interior damage in any property they enter.
Fire Risk
Rats are a leading cause of property fires across the UK. By biting through wiring, they can cause sparking that leads to serious, often costly fires.
Disease Spreading
Rodents carry a range of dangerous diseases, which they spread primarily through droppings, though bites are also a rare transmission route. As they travel through unsanitary areas like sewers, they deposit filth and disease along the way.
Reputation Damage
A rodent infestation can ruin a business’s reputation, damaging how they’re seen in the community. Our rodent experts are second to none and will set up an effective program to find and eliminate every last rodent in your building.
Then, we’ll secure your building with proofing to keep rodents away. And we’ll offer practical guidance on avoiding future infestations.
Bird Control Galashiels
Cities nationwide are seeing increased numbers of feral pigeons and gulls, and Galashiels is seeing similar trends. Controlling pest birds frequently requires professional intervention, as techniques like bird proofing involve complex procedures that require specific equipment, thorough training, and prior experience to ensure effective results.
We invite you to explore our Galashiels services to review the full array of pest control solutions available for managing bird infestations and other pest concerns.
Pest Bird Species in Galashiels
Feral Pigeons (Columba Livia)
Feral pigeons are a familiar sight across Galashiels. Although they may not have the notorious reputation of rodent pests, the extent of the damage they can cause is significant.
These birds are carriers of diseases like E. coli and Salmonella, which can be transmitted to humans through accidental ingestion of guano or inhalation of particles. Their droppings can corrode roofs and make walkways dangerously slick and hazardous.
Gulls (Laridae)
Most folks refer to them as seagulls, but you’ll find them all over Galashiels—and not only by the sea!
We specialise in robust gull proofing and nest removal as part of our solutions for commercial properties. Our durable netting can secure massive warehouses and office blocks, providing tough, reliable protection against these persistent birds. We’re here to keep them off your property.

Insect Control Galashiels
Insects may be tiny, but the damage they cause sure isn’t. These pesky bugs pack a serious punch when it comes to harming property and public health, and never stop bothering Galashiels residents.
Insects come in a huge range of shapes and sizes, and no two insect pest problems are ever quite the same. What you can always count on, 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 Galashiels and the surrounding areas include:
Bed bugs
A bed bug problem can feel overwhelming, disrupting sleep and turning a home into a place of discomfort. They can make a peaceful home feel unwelcoming.
Our team provides an effective bed bug elimination plan, a highly rated option among our residential services.
We have also helped many shared living properties in Galashiels, including hotels and student accommodations, to successfully address widespread bed bug infestations.
Wasps
Every summer, you’ll often see wasp nests hiding under the eaves or in the attics of homes around Galashiels.
Our team removes these nests effectively and safely, saving you from the danger of confronting a swarm of angry wasps.
Moths
They might leave you alone, but moths will ruin your best carpets and clothing in a blink.
Protect your precious furnishings with a professional moth removal service. Let us handle the moths before they do more damage.
Cockroaches
Cockroaches are both disgusting and hazardous, and they’re more prevalent in the UK than you might think. Two of the most common species we tackle here at Edinburgh Pest Control Co. are the American and German cockroaches.
Bees
Bees are a protected species and are not viewed as pests, so as a responsible pest control company, we don’t handle them.
For help with bees, it’s best to contact a local beekeeper in Galashiels.
