I know pipes aren’t very exciting, but hopefully these snaps illustrate the difference between council pest control and Strathclyde Pest Control.

This customer was hearing noises in the walls and under the floorboards every single night around 1am. They called council pest control and were told squirrels had gained entry via an old vent on the back wall and that there was nothing they could do.

So the customer got on the phone to ourselves and straightaway we knew that the location and timing of the noises is simply not typical squirrel behaviour.

On the first site visit this pipe immediately stood out. A branch from the main drain pipe ran through the wall under the window, but then there was nothing except blank plasterboard and a bedroom on the other side of the wall. The customer was asked about this and they said that the previous owner used to have a WC in the bedroom but had removed it.

So in all likelihood there was an uncapped 4” pipe in the wall, still connected to the sewer where of course there is an infinite supply of rats.

After a successful treatment saw off the nighttime invaders, a CCTV drain survey confirmed that the pipe was indeed redundant. Old, crumbling cement was removed from around the pipe, the pipe was capped and then the hole re-cemented.

A proper site survey and asking the customer the right questions rarely fails to get results!

Spring is coming. In fact, it’s well underway, which means gulls that have previously nested in a particular site will likely return year after year.

The customer was literally being dive-bombed and pursued by protective female gulls while out for a morning jog, so something had to be done.

Once the gulls have returned to rebuild their nest it is illegal to interfere with it until they have vacated again. However, we can get in there early before nesting season, just like we did here.

The problem area had historically been the sheltered part of the roof behind the chimney, which we cleared of old nesting material then proofed with stainless steel spikes from the excellent . To stop gulls simply switching to the top of the chimney, we also proofed the pot with pot-specific spikes and also spiked in between.

You may have already started experiencing gull issues on your property, in which case you will have to wait until they have left at the end of the nesting season. But if you would like a solution in time for next year, please feel free to contact us.
