Rodent Control in Old Town
Rodents such as rats and mice are a common issue in Old Town and can cause real damage. They’re also known to carry diseases, which makes them a serious health risk if not dealt with quickly.
At Pest Solutions, we offer a professional approach to rodent control. We act fast 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.
We inspect first. Look for droppings, bite marks, nests. That tells us how bad it is. Then we prep the fix to hit the right species and stop it at the root.
Rat Control Old Town
Brown rats—also known as Rattus norvegicus—are the most common type of rat in the UK, and they often turn up in properties big and small all over Old Town.
Rats pose a real health threat due to the diseases they carry, including leptospirosis (also called Weil’s disease), salmonella, and hantavirus. They also cause structural issues by wearing away insulation, pipes, timber, and electrical wiring. If not dealt with promptly, this damage can result in large bills or even spark dangerous situations.
Spotted some rice-shaped droppings? Been woken by gnawing sounds while trying to sleep? Caught a strange whiff in a back cupboard? Those are classic early signs of rats. And if you’re spotting chewed wood, gnawed plastic, or smear trails along the walls—they’ve been around for a while and it’s time to act.
When rats settle in, our team knows what to look for. They cover every inch, 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 tweaks to the space that make it less welcoming. We’ll recommend surveying sewer lines, sealing the gaps, and keeping things cleaner. It’s not just about dealing with the moment—it’s about ending the story for good.
Mouse Control
House mice (Mus musculus) are a widespread pest across Old Town, especially in buildings that provide easy access to warmth and food. Due to their small size and adaptable skeletons, they can enter via openings as narrow as 6mm. Once indoors, they typically take refuge in areas such as attic insulation, behind kitchen appliances, within partition walls, and in boxed areas.
Mice move fast. They’re always on the go and breed constantly, so what starts as a small issue can quickly turn into a bigger deal. You might notice tiny black droppings in cupboards or along the walls, bits of paper or plastic that look chewed, or greasy marks near holes where they’re getting in. There’s often a bit of a musty smell, too. At night, you might hear subtle movement behind the walls or in the ceiling.
We sort mouse problems fast using mouse traps, bait stations, and materials that block entry points. Our team will also give you advice on how to store food, keep the place clean, and manage waste to keep them out for good. If you need it, we can prepare a document for your housing officer, too.
Squirrel Control
Grey squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) have become an increasing pest issue in many parts of the UK, including urban centres like Old Town. Although they may appear harmless, their presence in roof voids can cause significant disruption.
Squirrels love to chew—wood, pipes, 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 humane methods to remove them safely, all in line with UK laws, and then seal up the gaps so they can’t come back. If there’s paperwork involved, like a licence, we’ll deal with it and keep you in the loop along the way.
Bird Control in Old Town
In towns and cities, pigeons and gulls blend into the skyline. But when they settle on buildings, they bring more than just noise. Their droppings corrode surfaces, eating into brick and metal. Twigs and feathers clog drainage, sometimes setting the stage for fires. And with them come the hidden hazards—organisms that pose a silent threat to public health.
At Pest Solutions, we focus on bird control methods that are non-harmful, humane, and fully aligned with current wildlife laws. Our technicians work across Old Town and nationwide, managing bird-related issues on a wide range of premises, including shops, schools, apartment buildings, offices, and industrial facilities.At Pest Solutions, we’re focused on bird control that’s safe, animal friendly, and fully legal. We work across Old Town and beyond, keeping birds away from places like high street stores, schools, flats, offices, and industrial sites.

Insect Control Old Town
Insects are a common problem for domestic and commercial properties across Old Town. Wasps in roof voids, bed bugs in guest spaces, and flies in kitchens are just a few of the issues that can escalate fast if left untreated.

From aggressive fliers to silent creepers, we’re equipped to manage bed bugs, cockroaches, fleas, line marchers, kitchen buzzers, fabric chewers, larger wasps, and pests that feed on clothing or pantry items.
Different bugs behave differently. No one-size-fits-all. That’s why we kick things off with an inspection—to see what we’re dealing with and sort the right approach.
Common insect pests we treat in Old Town include:
- Wasps and hornets
- Bed bugs
- Cockroaches (German and Oriental species)
