Issues rodents pose in Kelso
Damage to Kelso Properties
Armed with teeth that can tear through almost anything, rats, mice, and squirrels can do extensive damage to the interior of any property they invade.
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 bring with them a variety of dangerous diseases, which they spread primarily through droppings, though bites are also a rare transmission route. They move through contaminated places like sewers, leaving behind dirt and disease in every area they touch.
Reputation Damage
For a business, rodents can be reputation killers, especially with the local community. Our rodent experts are second to none and will put a solid plan in place to locate and eradicate the infestation on your property.
After that, we’ll reinforce your property with proofing to keep them out for good. We’ll also give you tips to keep them from becoming a problem again.
Bird Control Kelso
Cities nationwide are seeing increased numbers of feral pigeons and gulls, and Kelso is affected as well. 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.
Consider exploring our Kelso services to learn more about the options available for bird and pest control.
Pest Bird Species in Kelso
Feral Pigeons (Columba Livia)
Feral pigeons are a familiar presence in Kelso, and while they may not stir up the same concern as rodents, the harm they can do is substantial.
Pigeons are known to carry diseases such as E. coli and Salmonella, that spread to humans through contact with droppings or inhalation of contaminated dust. 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)
Known to many as “seagulls”, these birds are actually a fixture across the entire Kelso area, well beyond the shoreline.
Our commercial pest control services include effective gull proofing and nest removal services. We apply heavy-duty netting to protect spacious sites such as warehouses and office buildings, ensuring that your property remains secure.
