Rodent Control in Galashiels
Rodents, particularly rats and mice, remain some of the most tenacious and damaging pests found in Galashiels. These animals not only damage property by gnawing through materials but also pose a significant health threat through the transmission of various diseases.
At Pest Solutions, we recognise both the urgency and complexity of rodent infestations. Our response includes a comprehensive suite of services designed to address immediate problems and implement long-term measures that reduce the risk of recurrence. Your health and home remain our top priorities.
We always kick things off with a full check your place. Things like little messes, gnawed corners, or bits of shredded stuff help us get a sense of their path. Once we have a clear picture, we build a solution that’s fit for what’s going on and deals with the real problem.
Rat Control Galashiels
The brown rat, or Rattus norvegicus, is the most widespread rat species in the UK. In Galashiels, it’s frequently found in both residential and workplace settings.
Rats aren’t just unpleasant to deal with—they carry serious diseases like leptospirosis (Weil’s disease), salmonella, and hantavirus that can cause major health problems. On top of that, they gnaw on things like insulation, pipes, wooden beams, and even electrical cables, which can be expensive to repair or create a fire risk.
Wondering if you’ve got rats? The early signs include rice-sized droppings, night-time rustling in the walls or under the floor, and a strong, musky smell in hidden areas. If the problem’s been there for some time, you might also see gnawed wood, plastic, or wires, and greasy marks along the skirting boards where they’ve been moving through.
When it comes to rats, our team knows what to do. They check the whole property, figure out where the pests are getting in, and locate their nesting spots, then put a solid plan together to knock them out. That means safe traps, smart traps, and easy ways to keep them out. We also suggest looking into the drains, blocking holes, and keeping clean. It’s not just about removing them—it’s about keeping them gone for good.
Mouse Control
House mice (Mus musculus) are a recurring pest in Galashiels, especially in properties that contain warmth and available food sources. Their small size allows them to sneak in via cracks as narrow as 6mm. Once inside, they’re commonly found nesting in roof cavities, behind kitchen appliances, inside partitions, or in storage areas.
Mice stay busy. They breed faster. Small issue? Grows quick in weeks. Watch for tiny pellets in cupboards or along walls, gnawed spots, dirty rub lines near entry points. Might stink. Scratching sounds? In walls or ceiling at night? That’s them.
We move fast. Snaps, stations, barriers. Mice gone. We give advice on storage, clean-up, rubbish. Need a report for a landlord? Easy.
Squirrel Control
Grey squirrels—they seem nice, right—are becoming a serious issue in places like Galashiels. When they make it into your loft, they can tear things up you don’t want to deal with.
Squirrels love to chew—wood, plumbing, wires, even the stuff in your roof. That kind of damage can lead to leaks or even fire risks, and they’re noisy too, especially when nesting. We use safe and legal approaches to get them out, all in line with UK laws, and then block their return so they can’t come back. If there’s paperwork involved, like a licence, we’ll handle that and keep you in the loop along the way.
Bird Control in Galashiels
Urban bird species such as pigeons and gulls are regularly observed in towns and cities, but when they nest or roost on buildings, they pose serious concerns. Bird droppings are damaging and can cause deterioration to building materials, while nesting materials may clog drainage systems and increase the risk of fire hazards. Additionally, birds can spread bacteria and mites, making them a threat to public health.
At Pest Solutions, we are experts in bird control methods that are non-harmful, animal-welfare focused, and fully aligned with current wildlife laws. Our technicians operate throughout Galashiels and across the UK, managing bird-related issues on a wide range of premises, including retail units, schools, apartment buildings, offices, and warehouses.Bird problem? We handle it. Safe. Approved. Humane. Stores. Schools. Flats. Sites. All across Galashiels and beyond. Job done.
Our Galashiels pest bird control services include:
- Bird spikes and post-and-wire systems
- Bird netting for rooftops and loading bays
- Laser and acoustic deterrents

Insect Control Galashiels
Insect pests can turn up anywhere in Galashiels—from buzzing wasps in the attic to bed bugs in hotel beds or flies hanging around food prep areas. They move fast to go from annoying to a full-blown problem.
Insect pests aren’t just inconvenient—they can create risks for safety, sanitation, and legal standards. Our pest control experts are fully trained to identify and remove the most common species affecting residential spaces, commercial premises, and public facilities. We manage infestations involving wasps, hornets, bed bugs, roaches, itchy jumpers, ants, moths, flying pests, silverfish, and pantry bugs or wardrobe invaders.
Every insect has its own quirks—some stay low, some swarm, some bite. That’s why we always start out with a proper inspection. It tells us what we’re up against and guides our next steps.
Common insect pests we treat in Galashiels include:
- Wasps and hornets
- Bed bugs
- Cockroaches (German and Oriental species)
- Fleas
- Ants (black garden and pharaoh ants)

- Moths (clothes, pantry and brown house moths)

We do more than clear the immediate problem. At Pest Solutions Galashiels, we help you understand what’s driving the infestation and how to prevent it in future. Our service combines clear advice, quick help, and carefully delivered solutions—you can rely on it every time.
