Rodent Control in Musselburgh
They slip through the cracks, often undetected. Rats and mice, though small, can do outsized damage, rip into walls, and bring chaos with them. In Musselburgh, their presence has become one of the most distressing pest problems people face.
At Pest Solutions, we treat rodent control as a serious concern. We move with purpose, offering services that not only remove the immediate threat but also build in prevention. Because we believe in lasting calm.
Our process initiates through a detailed inspection of your property, focusing on visible signs of rodent activity such as faeces, gnaw marks, and shredded bedding. By evaluating the extent of the infestation, we can design a treatment plan that is both focused on the correct pest and based on the underlying causes, delivering long-term effectiveness.
Rat Control Musselburgh
The brown rat, or Rattus norvegicus, is the most frequently found rat species in the UK. In Musselburgh, it’s often encountered in both residential and workplace settings.
Rats spread disease. Weil’s. Salmonella. More illness. They bite pipework. Repairs cost money. Fires? That happens too.
Some of the initial clues of a rat problem include droppings that are shaped like large grains of rice, scratching sounds at night from within the structure or underneath floors, and strong, musky smells in enclosed areas. If the infestation is further along, you may also notice gnawed wood, plastic, or wiring, and dark smear marks along floor edges where rats have been travelling.
When it comes to rats, our team dives right in. They check the whole property, track entry points, and find where they’re hiding, then build a focused plan to get them gone. That means secure baiting, smart traps, and tips to keep your place rodent-free. We also suggest drain checks, 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 frequent pest in Musselburgh, especially in properties that provide warmth and easy access to food. Their small size allows them to access buildings through tiny gaps as narrow as 6mm. Once inside, they’re commonly found nesting in roof cavities, behind kitchen appliances, inside partitions, or in cupboards.
Mice are very active and reproduce quickly, which means a minor issue can become a serious issue within a few weeks. Early indicators include tiny black droppings, especially in cupboards or along the walls, gnaw marks, greasy rub marks near cracks, and sometimes a light scent. You may also hear soft noises or movement in ceilings or walls, most often at night.
We move fast. Traps, bait, proofing. Mice gone. We give advice on food, clean-up, waste. Need a report for a landlord? Easy.
Squirrel Control
Grey squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) are becoming a recognised pest across towns and cities throughout the UK, including in places like Musselburgh. While their appearance may seem harmless, their entry into lofts and roof spaces often results in noise, property issues, and safety concerns.
Squirrels love to chew—wood, plumbing, cables, even the stuff in your roof. That kind of damage can lead to leaks or even electrical danger, 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 proof the space so they can’t come back. If anything legal needs sorting, like a licence, we’ll deal with it and explain everything along the way.
Bird Control in Musselburgh
In towns and cities, pigeons and gulls blend into the skyline. But when they choose rooftops and ledges to nest, they bring more than just noise. Their droppings corrode surfaces, eating into brick and metal. Twigs and feathers block gutters, sometimes setting the stage for fires. And with them come the invisible dangers—pathogens and parasites that pose a silent threat to public health.
At Pest Solutions, we focus on bird control methods that are safe, animal-welfare focused, and fully legally compliant. Our technicians operate throughout Musselburgh and across the UK, managing bird-related issues on a variety of properties, including shops, educational facilities, flats, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities.At Pest Solutions, we’re experts in bird control that’s gentle, animal friendly, and fully legal. We work across Musselburgh and beyond, keeping birds away from places like high street stores, schools, flats, offices, and industrial sites.

Insect Control Musselburgh
Insect pests can turn up anywhere in Musselburgh—from nests hidden above you to bites in the night or swarming near bins and kitchens. They don’t take long to go from annoying to serious trouble.
Insects don’t just bother you—they compromise sanitary conditions, health, and the compliance rules businesses are expected to maintain.

From buzzing wasps to silent creepers, we’re equipped to manage bed bugs, kitchen pests, fleas, line marchers, kitchen buzzers, moths, larger wasps, and pests that feed on clothing or pantry items.

- Wasps and hornets
- Bed bugs

- Fleas
- Ants (black garden and pharaoh ants)
