Problems with rodents in Old Town
Damage to Old Town Properties
With remarkably strong teeth that can bite through almost any substance, rats, mice, and squirrels can wreak havoc on the inside of a property.
Fire Risk
Rats account for many property fires across the UK, because they commonly chew through wiring. Their chewing creates sparking that can lead to substantial fire damage.
Disease Spreading
Rodents are carriers of all kinds of nasty diseases, and they spread these illnesses through droppings or, rarely, bites. These pests travel through dirty areas like sewers, spreading filth as they move.
Reputation Damage
For any business, dealing with rodents can be catastrophic, putting their hard-earned reputation at risk. Our Rodent Control team is the best in town, ready to create a custom control program that’ll identify and eliminate the infestation on your property.
Once the immediate issue is handled, we’ll go a step further by adding proofing measures to keep rodents from coming back. Plus, we’ll share some advice on how to prevent future infestations.
Bird Control Old Town
Pigeon and gull populations are rising fast in urban areas nationwide, and Old Town is feeling it, too. Managing pest birds takes skill and is best handled by professionals. To get results with bird proofing, you need the right gear, know-how, and expertise.

Pest Bird Species in Old Town
Feral Pigeons (Columba Livia)
In Old Town, feral pigeons are a well-known presence. They might not be as feared as rats and mice, the extent of the damage they can cause is significant.
These birds are carriers of diseases like E. coli and Salmonella, transmitted to humans via accidental contact with droppings or inhaling contaminated dust. They cause expensive damage to rooftops and leave droppings that erode paths and make surfaces unsafe.
Gulls (Laridae)
Known to many as “seagulls”, they are a familiar sight across the greater Old Town area, not limited to coastal regions.
We provide commercial pest control options for effective gull proofing and nest removal solutions. We use industrial-strength netting to secure large areas such as warehouses and office buildings, keeping your property free from gull intrusion.

Insects may be tiny, but the damage they cause is anything but small. These little critters punch well above their weight when it comes to harming your home and well-being, and never stop bothering Old Town residents.
Insects come in a huge range of shapes and sizes, and no two insect pest problems are ever quite the same. One thing that’s always consistent, however, is the Edinburgh Pest Control Co.’s ability to find affordable solutions for every kind of insect problem.
Just some of the many insect species we help with in the Old Town area and beyond include:
Bed bugs
One of the most stubborn pests around, a bed bug infestation is a true nightmare, making it hard to get a decent night’s rest and transforming your peaceful home into a space you’d rather escape.
Our team can help you take back control of your home with a proven bed bug removal programme that’s highly recommended by our residential clients.
We’ve also helped many shared occupancy properties across Old Town, including hotels and student housing, to eliminate widespread bed bug infestations.
Wasps
During the warm months, you’ll often see wasp nests tucked under the eaves or stashed in attics across Old Town.
Our team removes these nests effectively and safely, preventing you from facing a swarm of angry wasps.
Moths
Though they pose no direct threat to humans, moths can ruin cherished rugs and clothing in no time at all.
Protect your treasured furnishings with professional moth control. Our team is highly trained in effective moth control.
Cockroaches
These pests are revolting and carry health concerns, and they’re unfortunately more common in the UK than many people expect. American and German cockroaches are two of the primary species we manage at Edinburgh Pest Control Co..
Bees
As a protected species, bees are not considered pests, therefore, we avoid dealing with them.
For any help with bees, it’s best to reach out to a Old Town-based beekeeper.
