For industrial and commercial premises, prevention and early detection are key. A structured pest management programme helps identify rodent activity before it develops into a larger problem and provides an ongoing record of pest activity across the site.

🐝 Wasp nest treatment in Livingston, West Lothian

A look at one of today’s wasp nest treatments in Livingston.

At this time of year nests can contain thousands of wasps, and activity around the entrance can become extremely busy. Treatment is applied directly to the nest entrance, allowing returning wasps to carry the insecticide further into the nest.

If you’re seeing a constant stream of wasps disappearing into a gap around your roof, soffits, guttering, shed or wall, there’s a good chance you have an active nest.

⚠️ Avoid blocking the entrance or attempting to seal it yourself — the wasps may simply find another route out, potentially into the property.

🐝 Not every wasp nest is as straightforward as treating the entrance…

We attended this property in Kirkliston, Edinburgh after the customer had tried to stop the wasps by sealing their access point with expanding foam.

Unfortunately, blocking an active wasp nest doesn’t get rid of it. With their normal route sealed, the wasps started finding alternative ways out, including into the house, making a conventional treatment from outside impossible.

Using our thermal imaging camera, we were able to trace the heat signature through the structure and pinpoint exactly where the nest was hidden. A small access hole was then drilled, allowing us to treat the nest directly rather than guessing at its location.

The photos show the results — the thermal image clearly identifying the heat generated by the nest, followed by wasps emerging through the treatment point covered in insecticidal powder.

⚠️ If you find a wasp nest, don’t block or seal the entrance while it’s active. This can force the wasps to find another route, which can sometimes lead them directly into the property.

🐝 Wasp nest in a difficult-to-reach location? We’ll do our best to get to it.

Another wasp nest treated in Bonnyrigg, Midlothian, this time with the nest located high up around the roof.

Not every wasp nest is easily accessible. We regularly deal with nests at height, around roofs, soffits, fascia boards and guttering, as well as other awkward areas.

Where it can be done safely, we’re prepared to go the extra mile to get the treatment exactly where it needs to be rather than simply turning the job away.

If you’ve noticed wasps repeatedly flying in and out of a gap around your roof, there’s a good chance there could be a nest hidden inside.

🐝 Wasp Nest Removal – Drem, East Lothian

Called out to Drem, East Lothian to remove a wasp nest built inside a bird box.

By June, most queen wasps have already found a suitable place to build their nests, with bird boxes, sheds, lofts, garages and roof spaces being some of the most common locations.

If you've noticed wasps regularly flying in and out of the same hole or gap around your property, it's likely there's a nest present. Dealing with it now is far easier than waiting until it becomes much larger later in the summer.

We provide professional wasp nest removal throughout East Lothian, Edinburgh, Midlothian, West Lothian and Fife, with fast response times and fixed pricing.

🏠 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.
