Issues rodents pose in Gilmerton
Damage to Gilmerton Properties
Rats, mice, and squirrels possess teeth strong enough to chew through nearly any material, causing significant damage to the interior of a property if left unchecked
Fire Risk
In the UK, rats cause a significant share of property fires, thanks to their tendency to chew through electrical wiring. This gnawing often results in hazardous sparking that can cause severe damage.
Disease Spreading
Rodents are carriers of many harmful diseases, spreading them primarily through droppings and occasionally through bites. They often travel through unsanitary areas, like sewers, spreading contamination in every location they reach.
Reputation Damage
Rodents can cause major harm to a business’s reputation, putting their hard-earned reputation at risk. Our team is passionate about keeping businesses rodent-free, using a powerful control program to identify and clear out every rodent from your property.
Once the rodents are gone, we’ll reinforce your property with proofing. Plus, we’ll provide guidance on keeping rodents away from your space permanently.
Bird Control Gilmerton
Pigeon and gull populations are rising fast in urban areas nationwide, and Gilmerton is feeling it, too. Controlling pest birds is no simple task—it usually requires trained professionals. Techniques like bird proofing need specialized equipment, training, and experience to be effective.

Pest Bird Species in Gilmerton
Feral Pigeons (Columba Livia)
Feral pigeons are a familiar presence in Gilmerton, and while they may not stir up the same concern as rodents, they’re still capable of causing significant harm.
They bring diseases like E. coli and Salmonella, which can infect people via contact with droppings or by inhaling particles. Beyond health risks, pigeons also cause costly roof damage and leave behind toxic droppings that erode surfaces, creating slippery walkways that can endanger public safety.
Gulls (Laridae)
They’re known as seagulls, but you’ll find them all over Gilmerton—not just by the water!
Our commercial services focus heavily on gull proofing and nest removal as part of our business-focused pest management services. Our durable netting can protect massive warehouses and office blocks, providing tough, reliable protection against these persistent birds. Trust us to keep gulls away from your premises.
