Why are rodents in Melrose such a big concern
Damage to Melrose Properties
The teeth of rats, mice, and squirrels will cut through almost anything, and your property’s interior is no exception.
Fire Risk
Across the UK, rats are a major cause of property fires. Their habit of chewing on electrical wires can easily trigger sparks, leading to potentially devastating outcomes.
Disease Spreading
Rodents carry a variety of unpleasant diseases, which they can spread through their droppings and, on rare occasions, bites. These pests travel through dirty areas like sewers, spreading filth as they move.
Reputation Damage
Rodent problems can wreck a business’s good standing, especially in the local area. Our Rodent Control team is top-notch 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. We’ll also give you tips to keep them from becoming a problem again.
Bird Control Melrose

Pest Bird Species in Melrose
Feral Pigeons (Columba Livia)
In Melrose, feral pigeons are a well-known presence. Although they may not have the notorious reputation of rodent pests, the extent of the damage they can cause is significant.
They are known to carry diseases such as 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)
Commonly known as seagulls, these birds are a common sight throughout the Melrose area, far from the shore.
We offer commercial solutions for gull proofing and nest removal, featuring durable netting built for protecting big facilities like warehouses and office blocks. If your property requires reliable gull prevention, our team has the tools and experience to get the job done.
