Problems with rodents in Sherwood
Damage to Sherwood Properties
The powerful teeth of rats, mice, and squirrels can gnaw through almost any material, leading to major interior property damage if they aren’t controlled
Fire Risk
Across the UK, rats are a major cause of property fires. By biting through wiring, they can cause sparking that leads to serious, often costly fires.
Disease Spreading
Rodents are carriers of many harmful diseases, which they can transmit through droppings and, in rare cases, bites. As they move through dirty places like sewers, they leave contamination behind.
Reputation Damage
For businesses, a rodent infestation can cause major problems, creating risks for their reputation in the 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 Sherwood
Feral pigeons and gulls are increasingly common in cities across the nation, and Sherwood is no exception to this trend. Managing pest birds is typically a job for skilled professionals, as bird proofing and similar methods require the right tools, training, and experience to work well.
Take a look at our Sherwood services to learn about all the bird control and pest management options we offer.
Pest Bird Species in Sherwood
Feral Pigeons (Columba Livia)
You can see feral pigeons all across Sherwood. While they might not have the same reputation as rats, they can still cause real harm.
These birds carry diseases like E. coli and Salmonella, which can infect humans through accidental exposure to their droppings or by breathing in particles from dried guano. Their droppings erode rooftops, corrode pathways, and create slippery walkways.
Gulls (Laridae)
Often referred to as seagulls, these birds are a common sight throughout the Sherwood area, and not limited to coastal spots.
Our specialised services for businesses involve gull proofing and nest removal, using robust netting designed to safeguard big facilities like warehouses and office buildings. If your property requires reliable gull prevention, our team has the equipment and know-how to secure your space.

They may be small, but the harm they cause is substantial. From wrecking homes to health risks, they’re a serious issue for locals in Sherwood.
Insects come in a wide variety of types, and every insect problem is unique. But one thing that never changes? Edinburgh Pest Control Co. is prepared to deal with them all—all at an affordable rate.
These are a few of the insect species we tackle in Sherwood and the surrounding area:
Bed bugs
One of the worst pests to handle, bed bugs are relentless, making life a living nightmare. They keep you awake at night and turn your home into somewhere you can’t stand to be.
Our pest control team can help you take back your space with a proven bed bug removal programme—a favourite among our domestic clients.
We’ve also assisted shared occupancy properties across Sherwood, including hotels and student accommodations, to eliminate bed bug infestations.

Throughout the summer season, it’s typical to encounter wasp nests nestled beneath roof eaves or in the attics of Sherwood homes.
Our team can remove these safely and efficiently, eliminating the need for you to risk encountering a swarm of irritated wasps.
Moths
Moths might not attack humans directly, but they’re quick to destroy your most valuable carpets, rugs, and clothing.
Keep your favourite furnishings safe with expert moth control. Our professionals have the expertise to get it done.
Cockroaches
Cockroaches are both unpleasant and hazardous, and they’re more common in the UK than many people might realise. Here at Edinburgh Pest Control Co., two of the most common species we address are the American and German cockroaches.
Bees
Bees aren’t pests—they’re protected, which means we don’t handle them.
It’s best to get in touch with a local beekeeper in Sherwood for more information.
