Rodent Control in Barnard Castle
They arrive unnoticed, often undetected. Rats and mice, though small, can shred wood and wires, chew on cables, and bring chaos with them. In Barnard Castle, their presence has become one of the most distressing pest problems people face.
At Pest Solutions, we treat rodent control as more than a routine job. We move with purpose, offering services that not only remove the immediate threat but also protect your space for the future. Because we believe in lasting calm.
We always start by having a proper look around your place. Things like droppings, chewing damage, or signs of nesting help us get a sense of their path. Once we see the full problem, we come up with a fix that’s right for your home and targets the exact pests.
Rat Control Barnard Castle
Brown rats—also known as Rattus norvegicus—are the usual suspects in the UK, and they often pop up in homes and businesses all over Barnard Castle.
Rats spread disease. Weil’s. Salmonella. More illness. They chew insulation. Repairs don’t come cheap. Fires? That happens too.
See droppings? Thick and long. Hear scratching at night? Inside cavities or under floorboards. Foul scent in corners? That’s early stage. Gnawed wires? Smears on walls? That’s established. Act now.
When rats make their way inside, our team knows what to look for. They walk through every corner, following their path, spotting hiding places, and seeing the pattern like a story told in clues. Then comes the plan—calculated traps, targeted action, and changes to the environment that close the book on the problem. We’ll recommend surveying sewer lines, sealing the gaps, and keeping things cleaner. It’s not just about removing what’s there now—it’s about making sure they don’t return.
Mouse Control
House mice (Mus musculus) are a frequent pest in Barnard Castle, especially in properties that contain heat and something to eat. Their small size allows them to enter through tiny gaps as narrow as 6mm. Once inside, they’re commonly found nesting in attics, behind kitchen appliances, inside wall voids, or in storage areas.
Mice don’t waste time. They run nonstop and breed like crazy, which means a bit of an issue can turn serious quick. Look out for tiny black droppings in cupboards or along the floor edges, bite signs on packaging or wood, and dirty streaks near gaps or cracks. They also leave behind a light musty smell. At night, keep an ear out for noise or movement in the walls or ceiling—that’s when they’re most active.
We move fast. Traps, stations, barriers. Mice gone. We give advice on storage, hygiene, rubbish. Need a report for a landlord? We do that.
Squirrel Control
Grey squirrels—not what you’d expect—are becoming a real pest in places like Barnard Castle. When they make it into your loft, they can tear things up you don’t want to deal with.
Squirrels cause real damage once inside—chewing through pipework, insulation, and electrical systems. The consequences range from plumbing issues to safety hazards. They’re also noisy and active, often leaving a mess behind. We handle removal legally, in full compliance with UK wildlife laws, and follow up with proofing to secure your property. Any legal steps, from permits to compliance measures, are managed by our team, who will handle everything with clarity.
Bird Control in Barnard Castle
In towns and cities, pigeons and gulls go unnoticed. But when they settle on buildings, they bring more than just noise. Their droppings damage buildings, eating into brick and metal. Twigs and feathers block gutters, sometimes leading to safety issues. And with them come the hidden hazards—disease and pests that put people at risk.
At Pest Solutions, we focus on bird control methods that are non-harmful, animal-welfare focused, and fully aligned with current wildlife laws.

Insect Control Barnard Castle
Insects are a frequent problem for homes and businesses across Barnard Castle. Wasps in roof voids, bed bugs in guest spaces, and pests in food areas are just a few of the issues that can escalate fast if left unchecked.
It’s not just that insects are annoying—they can also affect your health, and make it harder to keep your place in good shape or up to standard. Our pest control team knows how to find and fix all the usual bugs you’ll see in houses, shops, and shared spaces. We deal with everything from wasps and those bitey ones to roaches, fleas, tiny crawlers, moths, and more.
Each insect species has specific patterns and vulnerabilities, which is why successful treatment depends on a precise method. Our first step is always a detailed assessment to pinpoint the species, measure infestation severity, and determine the best course of action.

- Wasps and hornets
- Bed bugs
- Cockroaches (German and Oriental species)
- Fleas
- Ants (black garden and pharaoh ants)
