Rodent Control in Darlington
Rats and mice are a real nightmare around Darlington. They show up uninvited, chew through cables, and bring contamination that nobody wants near their home or business.
But don’t stress—we’re on it. Pest Solutions tackles rodent infestations with energy and precision. We don’t just remove them. We make sure they don’t return, so you can get back to normal.
We always start by having a proper look around your place. Things like droppings, chewing damage, or bits of shredded stuff help us spot where the rodents are active. 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 Darlington
Brown rats (Rattus norvegicus) are the most prevalent rat species across the UK and are regularly observed in both domestic and business settings throughout Darlington.
There’s more to a rat problem than a few squeaks at night. These pests carry dangerous illnesses—leptospirosis, salmonella, hantavirus—that spread silently. And while they move in silence, they leave trouble in their wake, damaging insulation, pipes, timber, and wires. Sometimes, the damage goes deeper than it looks. Sometimes, it ends in smoke.
Trying to figure out if it’s rats? The early signs include droppings that look like grains of rice, scratching noises at night in the walls or under the floor, and a funky, musky smell in tight spaces. If the problem’s been around a while, you might also see gnawed wood, plastic, or wires, and dark smudges along the skirting boards where they’ve been coming and going.
When it comes to rats, our team gets straight to it. They inspect the full site, track entry points, and locate their nesting spots, then build a focused plan to get them gone. That means secure baiting, smart traps, and easy ways to keep them out. We also suggest looking into the drains, sealing up gaps, and boosting hygiene. It’s not just about clearing the rats—it’s about keeping them gone for good.
Mouse Control
House mice are a real issue in Darlington, especially in buildings where it’s cosy and there’s food nearby. They’re small and can slip through gaps as small as 6mm. You’ll often find them hiding in the loft, behind the cooker, inside the walls, or tucked into cupboards.
Mice are constantly moving rodents with quick breeding cycles, meaning a minor issue can escalate into a large-scale problem within just a few weeks. Common signs of mouse activity include tiny dark pellets, often found in kitchen units or along skirting boards, biting damage, greasy smear marks near suspected entry points, and a faint musty scent in enclosed areas. Faint noises or activity in ceilings and walls is commonly heard during the night when mice are most active.
We approach mouse control with speed and precision, using a blend of traps, secure bait stations, and proofing materials to prevent further access. Our technicians also provide practical advice on food storage, sanitation, and waste management—simple steps that help reduce the chance of recurrence. When required, we offer written proofing reports tailored for landlords or property managers, ensuring full transparency and follow-up.
Squirrel Control
Grey squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) are becoming an growing pest problem across the UK, including in urban areas such as Darlington. While they may not look like a typical pest, squirrels can be very disruptive if they gain access to lofts or roof spaces.
Squirrels might look harmless, but they’ll chew through wiring—causing water leaks or even electrical problems. They’re noisy too, especially when building nests. We remove them humanely, staying compliant with the law, and carry out proofing work to keep them from returning. Our team will talk you through the legal stuff and take care of any licences or permits.
Bird Control in Darlington
Birds like pigeons and gulls are a familiar sight in towns and cities. But when they start nesting on buildings, they’re more than just a noisy nuisance. Their droppings can wear down bricks and stone, and nests can clog up gutters or even lead to hazards. Plus, they bring in bugs and bacteria.
At Pest Solutions, we specialise in bird control methods that are non-harmful, humane, and fully aligned with current wildlife laws. Our technicians operate throughout Darlington and nationwide, managing bird-related issues on a wide range of premises, including retail units, schools, flats, commercial buildings, and warehouses.At Pest Solutions, we specialise in bird control methods that are non-harmful, animal-welfare focused, and fully compliant with UK legislation.

Insect Control Darlington
Across Darlington, insect pests are a common cause of disruption. Buzzing threats above, bed bugs hiding in the seams of guest beds, and flies hovering in busy kitchen spaces—each brings its own challenges. If not stopped early, these infestations spread fast, turning minor problems into full infestations.
Dealing with insect pests is always a hassle—and it’s not just about the irritation. They can mess with your wellbeing, cleanliness, and even regulations. Our team knows how to find them and how to treat all the main ones across houses, workplaces, and shared facilities. Wasps, giant stingers, biters, cockroaches, fleas, ants, closet crawlers, flies, moisture lovers, stored product pests—you name it, we’ve handled it.
Each insect species has unique characteristics and traits, which is why effective control depends on a precise method. Our first step is always a detailed assessment to identify the pest, assess the level of activity, and develop the right strategy.
Common insect pests we treat in Darlington include:
- Wasps and hornets
- Bed bugs
- Cockroaches (German and Oriental species)
- Fleas
- Ants (black garden and pharaoh ants)
- Flies (cluster, fruit, drain, bluebottle and filter flies)
- Moths (clothes, pantry and brown house moths)
- Silverfish and various beetles
Our approach goes beyond temporary fixes. We focus on helping you get to the source of insect infestations and recommend the steps needed to stop them from returning. With Pest Solutions Darlington, you can expect expert guidance, timely assistance, and regulated pest control every time.
