Problems with rodents in Selkirk
Damage to Selkirk Properties
With teeth capable of cutting through nearly any material, 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 are carriers of several dangerous diseases, mainly spreading them through their droppings, though bites can sometimes transmit as well. Moving through contaminated areas like sewers, they spread filth wherever they go.
Reputation Damage
A rodent infestation can ruin a business’s reputation, damaging how they’re seen in the 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. We’ll also give you tips to keep them from becoming a problem again.
Bird Control Selkirk
Feral pigeons and gulls are taking over urban areas across the country, and Selkirk is no exception. Controlling pest birds requires experienced professionals—techniques like bird proofing need professional-grade equipment and expertise to be effective.

Pest Bird Species in Selkirk
Feral Pigeons (Columba Livia)
In Selkirk, feral pigeons are everywhere. They might seem harmless compared to rodents, but don’t underestimate the harm they can cause.
These pest birds carry diseases like E. coli and Salmonella, that can spread to humans through contact with droppings or by inhaling particles. 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 regularly seen across the whole Selkirk area, not just near the coast.
Our business-focused pest control services offer effective gull proofing and nest removal programmes. We apply high-strength netting to secure large areas such as warehouses and office complexes, keeping your property free from gull intrusion.

Cockroaches are gross and dangerous, and they’re more common in the UK than you’d think. We regularly deal with both American and German cockroaches here at Edinburgh Pest Control Co..

Bees are a valuable part of our ecosystem and aren’t classified as pests, so we leave bees alone out of respect for their protected status.
For help with bees, it’s best to contact a local beekeeper in Selkirk.
