🏠 Loft Clearance & Rodent Proofing – Edinburgh

This loft had extensive rodent activity, with large amounts of droppings, contaminated insulation and nesting material throughout the roof space.

Before carrying out the clearance, we first completed a full rodent treatment programme using a combination of traps and rodenticide to bring the infestation under control.

We then identified and repaired a damaged drain chamber with cement, installed a rat flap to prevent rodents travelling back from the sewer system, and sealed a number of external proofing issues to stop re-entry.

With the infestation resolved and the entry points secured, we carried out a full loft clearance, removing contaminated materials and preparing the area for fresh insulation.
This is why effective rodent control is about more than just putting down bait – it's about finding the source of the problem and preventing it from happening again.

We provide rat and mouse control, drain repairs, proofing, loft clearances and loft decontamination throughout Edinburgh.

🐝 Busy Week for Wasp Nest Removals Across Edinburgh

We've been busy this week removing wasp nests from sheds, lofts, garages and other hidden areas in and around Edinburgh.
At this time of year, queen wasps are actively searching for sheltered places to build their nests, and it's often sheds and outbuildings that are affected first. Catching nests early can prevent them developing into a much larger problem later in the season.
If you've noticed wasps coming and going from a shed, roof space or around your property, it's worth getting it checked sooner rather than later.
We provide professional wasp nest removal across Edinburgh, Midlothian, East Lothian, West Lothian and Fife.

🐦 Not Your Typical Call-Out… 🐦

We were called to a tenement flat in Meadowbank, Edinburgh after residents could hear faint chirping coming from inside a wall.

After investigating, we discovered a young bird trapped within a wall void. The chick was carefully recovered, safely boxed up and handed over to the SSPCA, who attended to take over its care.

It’s not every day we get called out to rescue wildlife, but we’re always happy to help where we can. Thankfully, this little one had a happy ending.

🐝 Wasp Nest Removal – Bonnyrigg, Midlothian

Three wasp nests safely removed from a shed in Bonnyrigg, Midlothian.

As temperatures start to rise, queen wasps become active and begin looking for sheltered areas such as sheds, lofts and garages to start new nests. Early nests are often small like these but can quickly develop into a much larger problem if left untreated.

If you’re noticing increased wasp activity around your property or inside outbuildings, it’s best to deal with it early before the nest grows.

We provide wasp nest removal and pest control across Midlothian, Edinburgh and the Lothians.

🐿 Hearing Noises in Your Loft? Don’t Ignore It

If you’re hearing scratching, banging or movement in your loft during the day, there’s a good chance it could be grey squirrels.

Unlike rats and mice, squirrels are active in daylight — so those noises you’re hearing mid-morning or afternoon are often a clear sign.

Squirrels can cause serious damage once inside a loft, including:
• Chewing through roof materials and insulation
• Damaging cables and pipework
• Creating entry points that lead to water ingress

To properly identify what’s going on, we use motion-activated cameras (as pictured) to monitor activity and confirm exactly what pest is present. This allows us to deal with the problem quickly and correctly, without guesswork.

If you’re hearing anything unusual in your loft, it’s worth getting it checked early before it turns into a bigger issue.

We cover Edinburgh and the Lothians for squirrel control, pest control and proofing.

🪶 Gutter Bird Proofing – East Lothian

Defender Thistle gutter spikes installed along the eaves line to deter small birds from sitting in the gutters and accessing under the roof tiles.

Bird activity at gutter level is a common cause of blocked gutters, fouling and roofline issues, so fitting spikes provides a simple and effective long-term deterrent while still allowing normal water flow.

A straightforward bit of bird proofing and gutter protection to keep the property maintained and prevent ongoing problems.

We carry out bird control and pest proofing across East Lothian and Edinburgh.

🐿 Squirrel Control in Edinburgh

We attended a property in Edinburgh with confirmed squirrel activity and identified the entry point at the roofline/eaves.

As shown in the photos, squirrels will chew through roof materials to gain access to loft spaces. This commonly results in:
• Damage to roofing felt and fascia areas
• Open entry points allowing water ingress
• Contaminated or disturbed insulation
• Risk of electrical damage from cable chewing

Traps have been installed in key areas, along with a motion-activated camera to monitor activity and ensure effective control.

Once activity has been resolved, we will return to carry out proofing works to secure the entry point and prevent re-entry.

If you’re experiencing noise or movement in your loft, early intervention is key to avoiding further damage.

We provide professional squirrel control, pest control and proofing services across Edinburgh and the Lothians.

Raxit door seal fitted to a front door in Balerno, Edinburgh to stop mice entering under the door.

Gaps beneath doors are one of the most common entry points for rodents. Installing a durable seal like this provides a long-term solution without affecting how the door opens and closes.

Simple proofing like this is key to preventing repeat issues once activity has been dealt with.

🐝 First Wasp Nest of 2026

First wasp nest of the year found inside a shed. Early signs like this are easy to miss, especially in outbuildings that aren’t used regularly.

Sheds, garages and loft spaces are some of the most common places wasps start building nests at this time of year. Catching them early makes treatment quicker and prevents the nest developing into a much bigger problem later in the season.

If you’ve not checked your shed or roof space recently, it’s worth having a look for early activity.

We cover Edinburgh and the surrounding areas for wasp nest treatments.
