Rodent Control in Durham
Rodents such as rats and mice are a common issue in Durham and can affect your space quickly. They’re also known to pose health risks, which makes them a serious health risk if not dealt with correctly.
At Pest Solutions, we offer a complete rodent control service. We move efficiently to handle the infestation and then help you prevent it from happening again. Our goal is to make sure your home or business stays safe, secure, and rodent-free.
First things first—we check the place top to bottom. Pest waste, chewed wires, signs of nesting? All signs rodents have made themselves at home. Once we know what’s going on and what we’re up against, we build a plan that targets them properly and goes straight to the source of the issue.
Rat Control Durham
Brown rats (Rattus norvegicus) are the primary rat species across the UK and are frequently encountered in both domestic and commercial environments throughout Durham.
Rats are more than just a nuisance—they’re a health hazard. They carry diseases like leptospirosis, salmonella, and hantavirus, endangering your wellbeing. They also chew on anything—insulation, pipes, timber, and wires are all on the menu. That kind of damage? It adds up fast and could lead to a fire.
Early indicators of a rat infestation often include droppings that look like large grains of rice, persistent scratching sounds during the night within wall cavities or under floors, and strong, musky odours in sealed areas. Established infestations may be signalled by gnaw marks on materials such as wood, plastic, or cables, along with greasy smear marks along skirting boards or wall junctions—caused by repeated movement.
Our technicians are trained to check out how bad the rat problem is, find out where they’re getting in, and locate where they’re hiding. Then, we put together a plan that uses baiting, safe traps, and simple prevention tips to solve the problem. We also offer guidance on things like drain inspections, structural proofing, and cleaning routines to keep pests away. The goal is always preventing future issues, not just a quick fix.
Mouse Control
House mice (Mus musculus) are a recurring pest in Durham, especially in properties that contain heat and easy access to food. Their small size allows them to enter through cracks as narrow as 6mm. Once inside, they’re commonly found nesting in lofts, behind kitchen appliances, inside walls, or in storage areas.
Mice are always moving and breed fast, which means a small problem can become a major concern within a few weeks. Telltale signs include small pellets, especially in cupboards or along the walls, gnaw marks, dirty streaks near holes, and sometimes a faint musty odour. You may also hear light scratching or movement in ceilings or walls, most often at night.
We move fast. Snaps, stations, proofing. Mice gone. We give advice on storage, clean-up, rubbish. Need a report for a landlord? Sorted.
Squirrel Control
Grey squirrels might look cute, but they’re becoming a real issue across the UK—and towns like Durham are no exception. Once they find their way into the roof, they can be a messy problem and make quite a mess.
Squirrels might seem fine, but they’ll destroy wiring—causing plumbing trouble or even electrical problems. They’re active 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 explain anything legal you need to know and manage any licences or permits.
