Issues rodents pose in Hawick
Damage to Hawick Properties
Rats, mice, and squirrels can gnaw through just about any material, and that includes the inside of your property.
Fire Risk
Rats are one of the main reasons for property fires in the UK, gnawing through electrical wiring and creating dangerous sparks that can lead to serious damage.
Disease Spreading
Rodents are riddled with nasty diseases that they can spread via droppings and, occasionally, bites. These pests travel through filthy places like sewers, bringing grime and disease with them.
Reputation Damage
A rodent infestation can ruin a business’s reputation, especially with the local community. Our Rodent Control team is top-notch and will put a solid plan in place to locate and eradicate the infestation on your property.
Once they’re gone, we’ll add proofing to stop them from coming back. And we’ll offer practical guidance on avoiding future infestations.
Bird Control Hawick
The population of feral pigeons and gulls is growing in cities everywhere, and Hawick has its fair share of these birds too. Dealing with pest birds usually calls for a trained technician. Bird control methods like proofing can be tricky and require specialized tools and a lot of know-how to get it done right.

Pest Bird Species in Hawick
Feral Pigeons (Columba Livia)
Pigeons are a common sight in Hawick. They might seem harmless compared to rodents, but don’t underestimate the harm they can cause.
They’re carriers of diseases such as E. coli and Salmonella, which humans can contract through accidental exposure to guano or by breathing in dust from dried droppings. They also cause significant roof damage and leave behind huge amounts of toxic droppings that corrode walkways, making surfaces slick and unsafe for everyone.
Gulls (Laridae)
Often called seagulls, these birds are a familiar sight across the whole Hawick area, not just near the coast.
Our business-focused pest control services offer effective gull proofing and nest removal services. We use high-strength netting to protect large areas such as warehouses and office buildings, ensuring that your property remains secure.

Insects may be tiny, but don’t let their size fool you—the damage they cause can be huge! These pesky bugs do major harm for both property and public health and are a constant trouble for Hawick residents.

Some examples of the insects we control across the Hawick area and beyond include:

Our pest controllers are here to help you reclaim your home with a proven bed bug removal plan that’s one of our most popular domestic pest control services.
We’ve also helped many shared occupancy properties across Hawick, including hotels and student housing, to eradicate bed bug outbreaks.

We can handle these nest removals with safety and care, saving you from the considerable risk of dealing with a swarm of angry wasps.
Moths
Moths might not bite or sting people, but they’re quick to destroy your most valuable carpets, rugs, and clothing.
Protect your precious furnishings with a professional moth removal. Our professionals have the expertise to get it done.
Cockroaches
Disgusting and risky all at once, cockroaches are seen more often in the UK than most people realise. American and German cockroaches are two types we frequently tackle at Edinburgh Pest Control Co..
Bees
Bees are a protected species, not pests, so we leave them alone at Edinburgh Pest Control Co..
If you need assistance with bees, a local beekeeper in Hawick is your best option.
