Rodent Control in South Shields
Rats and mice are a huge issue around South Shields. They show up uninvited, destroy insulation, and bring contamination that nobody wants near their home or business.
But don’t stress—we’re on it. Pest Solutions jumps on rodent trouble with care and control. We don’t just remove them. We set you up with protection that lasts, so you can get back to normal.
Our approach begins with a complete inspection of your property to identify common signs of rodent activity like droppings, gnawed edges, and scattered bedding. Understanding how far the problem has spread helps us build a custom solution that’s designed for your home and prevents future issues.
Rat Control South Shields
Meet the brown rat—Rattus norvegicus. It’s the most common rat in the UK, and in South Shields, it makes regular appearances, from backyards to shop floors.
Rats are a health concern due to the diseases they carry, including leptospirosis (also called Weil’s disease), salmonella, and hantavirus. They also create maintenance problems by wearing away insulation, pipes, timber, and electrical wiring. If not managed in time, this damage can result in expensive repairs or even create serious fire hazards.
It starts with the little things. A trail of pellets shaped like grains of rice. A quiet rustle behind the wall late at night. A strange musky smell in the air. These are the early warnings. As time goes on, they get bolder—chewed wood, frayed wires, and greasy trails smeared across the edges of walls. These signs demand attention.
Our technicians are trained to check out how bad the rat problem is, find out where they’re getting in, and locate where they’re hiding. Then, we build a strategy that uses baiting, trapping, and simple prevention tips to solve the problem. We also offer guidance on things like checking drainage systems, structural proofing, and cleaning routines to help prevent re-infestation. The goal is always lasting protection, not just a short-term result.
Mouse Control
House mice (Mus musculus) are a prevalent pest across South Shields, especially in structures that present easy access to comfortable nesting conditions. Due to their small size and highly flexible skeletons, they can enter via openings as narrow as 6mm. Once indoors, they typically settle in areas such as loft insulation, behind kitchen appliances, within partition walls, and in cupboards.
Mice are very active and breed fast, which means a small problem can become a major concern within a few weeks. Common clues include small pellets, especially in cupboards or along the edges of rooms, gnaw marks, dirty streaks near holes, and sometimes a faint musty odour. You may also hear light scratching or rustling behind the walls, most often at night.
We sort mouse problems fast using traps, bait stations, and tools that stop them getting in. Our team will also help you out on how to keep your food sealed, keep the place clean, and manage waste to keep them out for good. If you need it, we can prepare a document for your landlord or property manager, too.
Squirrel Control
Grey squirrels—yep, the ones that look harmless—are becoming a serious issue in places like South Shields. When they get inside the roof, they can lead to major issues you don’t want to deal with.
Squirrels commonly gnaw on timber, piping, insulation, and wires, which can result in water damage or fire hazards. In addition to their destructive habits, they are also loud nesters. We offer ethical squirrel control and removal in full accordance with UK wildlife legislation, followed by professional proofing to block future entry points. Our team also manages all legal obligations, including any required documentation or licences, and will outline the process to you.
