Rodent Control in South Side
Rats and mice might be small, but they can lead to big problems around homes and businesses in South Side. They chew through just about anything and leave behind nasty germs from the germs they carry.
That’s why we never treat them lightly. At Pest Solutions, we respond fast and with care with a complete approach that gets rid of the pests and helps keep them from coming back. We’re here to keep your space safe and sound.
We always begin by taking a good look your place. Things like little messes, gnawed corners, or bits of shredded stuff help us spot where the rodents are active. Once we see the full problem, we come up with a fix that’s tailored to your situation and gets the right species.
Rat Control South Side
Brown rats (Rattus norvegicus) are the predominant rat species across the UK and are frequently encountered in both residential and business settings throughout South Side.
Rats are more than just a nuisance—they’re a real danger. They carry diseases like leptospirosis, salmonella, and hantavirus, endangering your wellbeing. They also destroy stuff—insulation, pipes, timber, and wires are all on the menu. That kind of damage? It can hit your wallet hard and can even spark a fire.
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 first clues you’ve got rodents. And if you’re spotting chewed wood, gnawed plastic, or greasy marks along the walls—they’ve been active and it’s time to act.
Our techs go through the place. They find the rats, the entry points, and the hideouts. Then they hit it hard with bait, traps, and support. We also flag up drains, proofing, and hygiene upgrades. This isn’t about a temporary fix. It’s about ending the problem.
Mouse Control
House mice (Mus musculus) are a widespread pest across South Side, especially in structures that offer easy access to heat and food sources. Due to their small size and adaptable skeletons, they can fit into openings as narrow as 6mm. Once indoors, they typically take refuge in areas such as roof cavities, behind cookers and fridges, within partition walls, and in boxed areas.
Mice don’t take it slow. They run everywhere and breed like crazy, which means a tiny infestation can get out of hand quickly. Look out for little dark pellets in cupboards or along the floor edges, chew marks on packaging or wood, and rub marks near gaps or cracks. They also leave behind a funky scent. At night, keep an ear out for noise or movement in the walls or ceiling—that’s when they’re most active.
We provide rapid and effective mouse control through a combination of professional traps, tamper-resistant bait stations, and exclusion methods. Our technicians also offer guidance on proper storage practices, hygiene practices, and rubbish management to reduce future risk. Where needed, we can supply a written proofing report for property managers.
Squirrel Control
Grey squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) are becoming an emerging issue across the UK, including in urban areas such as South Side. While they may not appear threatening, squirrels can cause real issues if they enter lofts or roof spaces.
Squirrels are always gnawing—wood, plumbing, cables, even your loft insulation. That kind of damage can cause water problems 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 block their return so they can’t come back. If there’s paperwork involved, like a licence, we’ll handle that and keep you in the loop along the way.
Bird Control in South Side
Pigeons and gulls are widespread in urban areas, but when they begin nesting or roosting on buildings, they become a genuine concern. Bird droppings are corrosive and can wear down stone, brick, or metal over time. Nesting materials often block gutters and can even lead to fire risks. Birds also pose a public health risk, making them a serious hygiene issue.
At Pest Solutions, we specialise in bird control methods that are non-harmful, animal-welfare focused, and fully legally compliant. Our technicians cover South Side and throughout the country, managing bird-related issues on a variety of properties, including shops, educational facilities, apartment buildings, commercial buildings, and warehouses.At Pest Solutions, we’re great at bird control that’s gentle, kind to wildlife, and done by the book. We cover South Side and beyond, keeping birds away from places like shops, classrooms, flats, offices, and industrial sites.
Our South Side pest bird control services include:
- Bird spikes and post-and-wire systems
- Bird netting for rooftops and loading bays
- Laser and acoustic deterrents
- Optical bird gels
- Falconry services
- Nest and egg removal (under licence)
- Fouling clean-up and disinfection
First step—we inspect the site top to bottom. Where the birds are, how they behave, where they nest, and how they’re getting in. Then we give you a clear plan with timelines and options for aftercare. Whether it’s light nesting or serious droppings, our licensed team has the tools and training to get it sorted.
Insect Control South Side
Insects are a real hassle in homes and businesses all over South Side. Whether it’s wasps buzzing around your loft, bed bugs turning up in guest rooms, or flies making a mess in your kitchen, infestations can go from bad to worse before you know it.
Insect pests are more than just a disturbance—they can affect health, hygiene standards, and legal requirements. Our certified pest control specialists are experienced in handling all typical infestations found in residential, commercial, and institutional environments. This includes treatment for wasps, large wasps, biting pests, cockroaches, fleas, crawling insects, fabric pests, flies, moisture pests, and pests affecting fabrics and stored goods.
Different bugs behave differently. No one-size-fits-all. That’s why we begin with a full site check—to see what we’re dealing with and sort the right approach.
Common insect pests we treat in South Side include:
- Wasps and hornets
- Bed bugs
- Cockroaches (German and Oriental species)
- Fleas
- Ants (black garden and pharaoh ants)
