As the third-largest city in Scotland, Aberdeen sees a wide range of pest issues. From the city centre to rural areas, homes and businesses across the northeast face problems with rodents, insects, birds and other pests.
With over 20 years of experience and a combination of technical training and real-world knowledge, Pest Solutions provides a trusted, professional and effective pest control service throughout the region.
Domestic Pest Control Aberdeen
Finding a pest problem in your home is upsetting and often urgent. Pests are drawn to houses by food and warmth, and once inside they can contaminate food, cause damage and create health and safety risks for everyone in the property.
At Pest Solutions we help you take back control of your home. We focus on both fast relief and long-term prevention.
Our BPCA-accredited technicians will carry out a full inspection of your home, identify the species and extent of the problem, and recommend the most effective treatment options.
All our staff are fully trained, RSPH-qualified, and supported by a knowledgeable service team. We use the latest pest control tools and techniques to make sure you get the best results quickly and safely.
Commercial Pest Control Aberdeen
We provide pest control solutions and contracts to a wide range of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire businesses, including those in hospitality, manufacturing, healthcare, education and logistics.
Pests can be damaging in any setting, but for commercial premises the risks are even greater. Visible pest activity can quickly harm your reputation, lead to stock or equipment damage, affect staff morale and potentially result in legal action or enforced closures from environmental health authorities.
We understand the pressures businesses face and offer professional, discreet pest control support tailored to your industry. From regular pest monitoring to one-off emergency call-outs, our technicians work quickly and efficiently to resolve problems and protect your site.
Pest Solutions stays fully up to date with all current health and safety legislation and helps ensure your business remains compliant at all times.
Professional Pest Control Services in Aberdeen
Pest Solutions offers cost-effective pest control and monitoring across Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Inverness and surrounding areas. We deal with a wide range of pests found in both homes and businesses.
Rodents
Rodents are one of the most common pest problems across Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and the north of Scotland. Rats, mice and squirrels can quickly become a serious issue in homes and businesses, causing damage to property, spreading disease and contaminating food. These pests are highly adaptable, breed rapidly, and are often difficult to detect in the early stages of an infestation. At Pest Solutions, we provide fast, effective rodent control backed by expert knowledge and professional-grade treatments to ensure your property stays protected.
Rat Control
Common in city centres, rural areas and even suburban homes, rats are a serious public health threat. They spread disease, contaminate food and damage property. Because they breed rapidly, fast and professional treatment is essential.
Brown Rats are by far the most common rat species found in Aberdeen, or anywhere else in the UK for that matter, but black rats do occasionally arrive on shipments from overseas.
Signs of a Rat problem include droppings, sightings, damage from teeth marks, a smell, smear marks and urine stains. The City of Aberdeen with its harbour & port setting saw Rats originally introduced from ships. These Rodents have become well established in the city as they live very well in close proximity to people and our way of life. Rats are considered public health pests as they are prolific spreaders of disease-causing pathogens. Protect your home or business today and get rid of those Rats.
Mouse Control
House mice are active throughout the year and can enter buildings through gaps as small as 5mm. They chew wires, nesting materials and food packaging. Our team uses a mix of proofing, baiting and environmental controls to eliminate and prevent mice.
Aberdeen, like many of our cities in the UK has a pronounced issue with mice and their ability to exploit our buildings for harbourage and shelter. A Mouse can squeeze through the smallest of gaps, as small as 6mm. Therefore, they can so readily enter our homes and commercial premises. These Rodents breed rapidly in the right conditions so get in touch today to get your mouse infestation under control and prevent future activity. Signs of Mice are very like that of Rats, but droppings and teeth marks are much smaller.
Grey Squirrels
Squirrels may look harmless in the park but are a major nuisance when inside properties. They cause noise, damage loft insulation and wiring, and pose similar health risks to other rodents.
Like Rats, they need to gnaw hard surfaces continually to keep their constantly growing front teeth to the correct length. Therefore, when Grey Squirrels gain access to the lofts of our homes they are capable of causing significant damage to timbers, pipes and cables.
Professional Pest Bird Control Services in Aberdeen and Grampian
Urban areas like Aberdeen, along with industrial estates across the northeast, are heavily affected by pest birds such as pigeons and gulls.
These birds can dislodge roof tiles, block gutters, and create noise issues. However, their droppings are often the biggest concern. Bird waste is highly acidic and can cause permanent damage to stone, metal and other building materials. It also carries serious health risks, harbouring bacteria like E. Coli and Salmonella.
Exposure can happen through contaminated surfaces, airborne particles or accidental contact.
During Gull breeding season when the adults become aggressive in order to protect their nest there can be a real risk to the health & safety risk as the so called seagulls attack people who they perceive to be a threat. Deterrent systems, Falconry or Egg & Nest Clearances can be effective methods of breaking the aggressive behaviour. Call the experts as this work must only be done under licence by a professional.
Our bird control team works throughout Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and beyond, helping customers deter birds from nesting and roosting on buildings. Whether you are dealing with an active infestation or looking to prevent future problems, we offer expert advice and effective solutions.
Bird Proofing Options
Bird activity is common throughout Aberdeen and the surrounding countryside. But in most cases, the right preventative measures will encourage birds to move on.
At Pest Solutions Aberdeen, we have the tools to tackle pest infestations involving all nuisance birds, including urban gulls, feral pigeons and more and specialise in creating bespoke bird control solutions using the latest pest proofing technology.
We offer a wide range of professional bird proofing options, including:
- Bird Spike Systems
- Bird Wire Systems
- Bird Netting Systems
- Laser and Electronic Deterrents
- Falconry
The best solution for your property depends on the species, level of infestation, and building structure. One of our bird control technicians will carry out a full survey and recommend the right approach for you.
It is important to note that bird control is governed by strict legislation. DIY methods may break the law or worsen the problem. Our team holds all relevant licences and follows current guidelines to ensure legal, safe and humane treatment at all times.
Insects – Wasps, Bed Bugs, Cockroaches, Flies and More
Insects are an essential part of the ecosystem but become a serious issue when certain species infest homes or commercial buildings.
After a detailed inspection, we’ll develop a treatment plan based on your specific problem. Solutions may include insecticides, fumigation, bait stations, insect traps and proofing work.
We commonly deal with infestations involving:
- Ants
- Fleas
- Bedbugs
- Wasp Nest Removal
- Cockroaches
- Flies (including cluster flies, fruit flies, filter flies and more)
- Beetles (larder beetles, plaster beetles, ground beetles)
- Silverfish
- Moths
- Other flying insects

What Happens When You Call Pest Solutions for Pest Control in Aberdeen?
We will be here when you need us, so when you call us a member of our office team will be available to ask you a few simple questions, for us to help you the best possible way.
The information that would be helpful for us in making a suitable diagnosis to the pest problem will relate to what you have seen or experienced, where you have seen the issue and anything else you might have noticed that could be relevant for us to know about. This will allow us to give you the most effective solution and pest prevention treatment plan and for you to get booked in quickly for one of our service team members to attend to the problem and get the required work done.
Should we be unable to establish what pests you are experiencing or the extent of the issue over the phone, one of our experienced surveyors can carry out a FREE survey for you, so there is no need to worry. The survey will enable us to determine what would be the right solution and give you a course of action.
As we endeavour to be with you the same day of your booking where possible and as quickly as possible, one of our local pest control technicians will call to arrange an appointment within a 2-hour slot within 24 hours of your booking.
Through our 24-hour helpline, we can provide you with expert assistance at any time of the day whether it is giving you move information on our control methods or explaining the behaviour or pest species such as rats or bed bugs.
We do, however, recommend that you schedule a domestic booking during our standard working hours as an out of hours call out will incur further charges. As most pest control issues require more than one treatment visit, there is no real advantage of an out of hours visit and thereby additional charges. We want to give you an honest and professional service and advice and we pride ourselves in doing so. Contact us today to learn more.
