Rodent Control in Gorgie
They slip through the cracks, often ignored at first. Rats and mice, though small, can do outsized damage, rip into walls, and bring chaos with them. In Gorgie, their presence has become one of the most distressing pest problems people face.
At Pest Solutions, we treat rodent control as a matter of urgency. We take swift and thoughtful action, offering services that not only remove the immediate threat but also build in prevention. Because we believe in lasting calm.
Our approach always begins by a complete inspection of your property to look for common signs of rodent activity like faeces, chew marks, and nest materials. Assessing the infestation helps us develop a targeted approach that’s designed for your home and prevents future issues.
Rat Control Gorgie
Brown rats (Rattus norvegicus) are the most prevalent rat species across the UK and are regularly observed in both residential and business settings throughout Gorgie.
Rats are a health concern due to the diseases they carry, including leptospirosis (also called Weil’s disease), salmonella, and hantavirus. They also cause structural issues by chewing through insulation, pipes, timber, and electrical wiring. If not dealt with promptly, this damage can result in expensive repairs or even spark dangerous situations.
Noticed weird rice-shaped droppings? Heard scratching in the walls while trying to sleep? Caught a strange whiff in a back cupboard? Those are classic first clues you’ve got rodents. And if you’re spotting chewed wood, gnawed plastic, or greasy marks along the walls—they’ve been settled in and it’s time to act.
When rats make their way inside, our team knows the signs. 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, precise trapping, and changes to the environment that make it less welcoming. We’ll advise on checking the drains, proofing the structure, and tidying up routines. It’s not just about dealing with the moment—it’s about making sure they don’t return.
Mouse Control
House mice (Mus musculus) are a recurring pest in Gorgie, especially in properties that offer warmth and available food sources. Their small size allows them to sneak in via tiny gaps as narrow as 6mm. Once inside, they’re commonly found nesting in lofts, behind cookers and fridges, inside walls, or in storage areas.
Mice move fast. They’re always busy and breed constantly, so what starts as one or two can quickly turn into a full-blown infestation. You might notice mouse poo in cupboards or along the walls, bits of paper or plastic that look chewed, or smudges near holes where they’re getting in. There’s often a bit of a funky scent, too. At night, you might hear light scratching behind the walls or in the ceiling.
We approach mouse control with speed and precision, using a combination 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 a recognised pest across towns and cities throughout the UK, including here in Gorgie. While their small size might mislead, their presence in upper building areas often results in noise, costly repairs, and safety concerns.
Squirrels chew insulation. That means damage, fire hazards, noise. We remove them humanely, follow the law, and block them from coming back. Need permits? We handle it.
Bird Control in Gorgie
Pigeons and gulls are common in urban areas, but when they begin nesting or roosting on buildings, they become a real problem. Bird droppings are harmful and can wear down stone, brick, or metal over time. Nesting materials often obstruct drainage and can even create hazards. Birds also pose a public health risk, making them a sanitation problem.
At Pest Solutions, we specialise in bird control methods that are safe, animal-welfare focused, and fully compliant with UK legislation. Our technicians operate throughout Gorgie and throughout the country, managing bird-related issues on a wide range of premises, including retail units, educational facilities, flats, offices, and warehouses.Birds getting in the way?

Insect Control Gorgie
Insect pests show up when you least expect it in Gorgie—from buzzing wasps in the attic to bed bugs in hotel beds or flies hanging around food prep areas. They don’t take long to go from annoying to serious trouble.
Insect pests are more than just a nuisance—they can compromise health, cleanliness, and regulatory compliance. Our qualified pest control specialists are trained to identify and manage all major pest types found in residential, commercial, and institutional environments. This includes treatment for wasps, hornets, biting pests, roaches, pet pests, ants, fabric pests, flying insects, silverfish, and various stored product and textile pests.
Each insect species has distinct behaviours and vulnerabilities, which is why successful treatment depends on a targeted treatment plan. Our first step is always a full inspection to pinpoint the species, measure infestation severity, and develop the right strategy.
Common insect pests we treat in Gorgie 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)
