Issues rodents pose in West Calder
Damage to West Calder Properties
Rats, mice, and squirrels can gnaw through just about any material, and they’ll damage the inside of your property if they get the chance.
Fire Risk
In the UK, rats are a leading cause of property fires, biting into electrical wiring, which can trigger dangerous sparking and major damage.
Disease Spreading
Rodents can carry a wide range of dangerous diseases, which they can transmit through droppings and, in rare cases, bites. These pests often come from filthy environments like sewers, leaving contamination wherever they go.
Reputation Damage
Rodent infestations can be highly damaging to businesses, creating lasting harm to their standing in the community. Our Rodent Control team is unmatched in skill and experience, putting an effective control program in place to get rid of the infestation.
Once we’ve handled the infestation, we’ll add proofing to keep them from coming back. And we’ll provide you with expert advice on how to keep them at bay in the future.
Bird Control West Calder
The number of pigeons and gulls is increasing quickly in cities across the UK, and West Calder is feeling it, too. Controlling pest birds is no simple task—it usually requires trained professionals. Techniques like bird proofing need specialized equipment, training, and experience to be effective.
Check out our West Calder services to see the full range of pest control options we offer for handling birds and more.
Pest Bird Species in West Calder
Feral Pigeons (Columba Livia)
Feral pigeons are an ever-present feature of West Calder, and even if they aren’t as notorious as rats, their potential for damage is considerable.
They bring diseases like E. coli and Salmonella, that spread to humans through contact with droppings or inhalation of contaminated dust. Beyond health risks, pigeons also cause costly roof damage and leave behind toxic droppings that erode surfaces, creating slippery walkways that can endanger public safety.
Gulls (Laridae)
Often referred to as seagulls, you’ll find these birds everywhere throughout the West Calder area, not just near the water.
Our specialised services for businesses involve gull proofing and nest removal, using robust netting built for protecting large structures like warehouses and office buildings. If your business needs effective protection from gulls, our team has the tools and expertise to get the job done.
