Issues rodents pose in South Side
Damage to South Side Properties
Rats, mice, and squirrels possess teeth strong enough to chew through nearly any material, causing significant damage to the interior of a property if left unchecked
Fire Risk
Rats account for many property fires across 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 many harmful diseases, spreading them primarily through droppings and occasionally through bites. They often travel through unsanitary areas, like sewers, spreading contamination in every location they reach.
Reputation Damage
A rodent problem can be very harmful to a business, damaging how they’re viewed in their local area. Our team is the best in the business, carrying out a highly effective plan to remove rodents from your premises.
Once we’ve handled the infestation, we’ll add proofing to keep them from coming back. We’ll also offer guidance on ways to prevent future rodent issues.
Bird Control South Side
Across the country, feral pigeons and gulls are becoming a common sight in cities, and South Side is part of this trend. Controlling pest birds requires experienced professionals—bird control methods like proofing are complex and demand specialised tools, experience, and skill.
Check out our South Side services to find out about our pest control solutions for dealing with these birds.
Pest Bird Species in South Side
Feral Pigeons (Columba Livia)
Pigeons are everywhere in South Side. Even though they’re not as feared as rodents, the damage they cause is serious.
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. They leave droppings everywhere, which can damage roofs and make paths dangerously slippery.
Gulls (Laridae)
Often referred to as seagulls, you’ll find these birds everywhere throughout the South Side area, not just near the water.
Our commercial pest prevention services include gull proofing and nest removal, with durable netting intended to secure spacious areas like warehouses and office buildings. If you’re looking to keep gulls away from your premises, our team has the tools and experience to get the job done.
