Rodent Control in Gilmerton
Rodents, particularly rats and mice, remain some of the most tenacious and destructive pests found in Gilmerton. These animals not only compromise structural integrity by gnawing through materials but also pose a significant health threat through the illnesses they carry.
At Pest Solutions, we are aware of both the urgency and severity of rodent infestations. Our response includes a broad set of pest solutions designed to address immediate problems and implement preventive strategies that reduce the risk of recurrence. Your safety and property integrity remain our central focus.
We inspect first. Scan for droppings, chewed spots, nests. That tells us what we’re dealing with. Then we set a course to get it under control and cut off the issue.
Rat Control Gilmerton
The brown rat, or Rattus norvegicus, is the most frequently found rat species in the UK. In Gilmerton, it’s frequently found in both domestic and business properties.
Rats aren’t just unpleasant to deal with—they carry serious diseases like leptospirosis (Weil’s disease), salmonella, and hantavirus that can put your health at risk. On top of that, they gnaw on things like insulation, pipes, wooden beams, and even electrical cables, which can cost a lot to fix or start something much worse.
Spot rat droppings? Big as rice. Noises after dark? Behind panels or under floorboards. Foul scent in corners? That’s early stage. Gnawed wires? Smears on walls? That’s established. Act now.
Our techs cover every spot. They find the rats, the entry points, and the hideouts. Then they get to work with bait, traps, and fixes. We also deal with drains, proofing, and hygiene fixes. This isn’t about a fast job. It’s about ending the problem.
Mouse Control
House mice are a real issue in Gilmerton, especially in buildings where it’s warm and there’s easy pickings. They’re small and can slip through gaps as small as a pencil. You’ll often find them nesting in the loft, behind the cooker, inside the walls, or tucked into cupboards.
Mice move fast. They breed faster. Small issue? Grows quick in weeks. Watch for tiny pellets in cupboards or along walls, gnawed spots, grease smears near entry points. Might stink. Scratching sounds? In walls or ceiling at night? That’s them.
We offer prompt and effective mouse control through a mix of professional traps, secure bait points, and exclusion methods. Our technicians also provide advice on food storage, cleanliness, and rubbish management to reduce future risk. Where needed, we can issue a written proofing report for site administrators.
Squirrel Control
Grey squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) are becoming a recognised pest across towns and cities throughout the UK, including here in Gilmerton. While their small size might mislead, their presence in upper building areas often results in noise, structural damage, and safety concerns.
Squirrels chew through wood, pipes, insulation, and cables, which can lead to serious issues like leaks or electrical risks. They’re also loud and messy when nesting. We provide humane squirrel removal services that comply fully with UK wildlife laws, followed by sealing to block re-entry. If any legal documentation is needed, our team will manage the process and explain your responsibilities.
Bird Control in Gilmerton
Birds like pigeons and gulls are a common thing in towns and cities. But when they start making homes on your roof, they’re more than just a loud distraction. Their droppings can wear down bricks and stone, and nests can back up your water flow or even spark fire risks. Plus, they aren’t great for your health.
At Pest Solutions, we focus on bird control methods that are non-harmful, animal-welfare focused, and fully compliant with UK legislation. Our technicians work across Gilmerton and throughout the country, managing bird-related issues on a wide range of premises, including retail units, educational facilities, flats, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities.Birds becoming a nuisance?

Then we put together a plan that suits your site, including the timeline and extras if needed. Whether you’ve got a light issue or you’re dealing with a serious mess from droppings, our crew has what it takes to fix it.
