Problems with rodents in Leith
Damage to Leith Properties
Rats, mice, and squirrels can gnaw through almost any material with ease, and they can wreak havoc on the interior of your property in no time.
Fire Risk
Rats account for many property fires across the UK, because they commonly chew through wiring. This damage to wiring often causes dangerous sparks that result in property fires.
Disease Spreading
Rodents are full of all kinds of nasty diseases which they pass along in their droppings and, sometimes, through bites. They come from dirty areas like sewers, spreading contamination wherever they pass.
Reputation Damage
Rodent infestations can be highly damaging to businesses, threatening their reputation and relationships within the local community. Our team will design a tailored control plan to clear out any rodent presence.
After resolving the infestation, we’ll secure your property with proofing to prevent future entry. We’ll also offer advice on keeping your property protected against future infestations.
Bird Control Leith
Cities across the country are seeing a spike in pigeon and gull numbers, and Leith is no different. Dealing with these birds is tricky and calls for professional expertise. Techniques like bird proofing need specialized equipment, training, and experience to be effective.
Take a look at our Leith services to find out how we can help with bird control.
Pest Bird Species in Leith
Feral Pigeons (Columba Livia)
Pigeons are a common sight in Leith. While they don’t have the same reputation as rats, they’re far from harmless.
Pigeons bring with them diseases like 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)
Known to many as “seagulls”, they are regularly seen across the greater Leith area, not limited to coastal regions.
Our commercial pest control services include effective gull proofing and nest removal solutions. Our team installs heavy-duty netting to protect spacious sites such as warehouses and office buildings, providing lasting protection against gulls.

Our pest controllers offer a proven bed bug removal programme, a highly rated option among our residential services.
We have also helped many shared living properties in Leith, including hotels and student accommodations, to eliminate large-scale infestations.

We conduct safe and efficient nest removals, eliminating the need for you to risk encountering a swarm of defensive wasps.

Moths might not attack humans, but they can devastate your finest rugs, carpets, and clothes in a matter of days.
Keep your most precious pieces safe with moth infestation removal. Our specialists know exactly how to tackle even severe moth infestations.
Cockroaches
Revolting and dangerous at the same time, cockroaches are unfortunately more common in the UK than you might think. American and German cockroaches are two types we frequently tackle at Edinburgh Pest Control Co..
Bees
Bees are a protected species and play an important role in nature, so we don’t treat them as pests here at Edinburgh Pest Control Co..
For more information about bees, contact a beekeeper in the Leith area.
