Problems with rodents in Shettleston
Damage to Shettleston Properties
Rats, mice, and squirrels can gnaw through almost any material with ease, and they can do a surprising amount of harm to the inside of your property fast.
Fire Risk
In the UK, rats cause a significant share of property fires, due to their habit of gnawing on electrical wires. Their chewing creates sparking that can lead to substantial fire damage.
Disease Spreading
Rodents carry a wide array of nasty diseases spreading them through droppings and, on rare occasions, bites. They come from dirty areas like sewers, spreading contamination wherever they pass.
Reputation Damage
For a business, a rodent infestation can be catastrophic, jeopardizing their standing in the community. We’re here to help businesses protect their hard-earned reputation, by implementing a thorough plan to get rid of the rodents.
Once the rodents are gone, we’ll reinforce your property with proofing. Additionally, we’ll share effective tips to prevent future rodent problems.

Pest Bird Species in Shettleston
Feral Pigeons (Columba Livia)
Feral pigeons are all over Shettleston. Even though they’re not as feared as rodents, the damage they cause is serious.
Pigeons are carriers of diseases like E. coli and Salmonella, which can infect humans through accidental exposure to their droppings or by breathing in particles from dried guano. Their droppings erode rooftops, corrode pathways, and create slippery walkways.
Gulls (Laridae)
Often referred to as seagulls, you’ll find these birds everywhere throughout the Shettleston area, and not limited to coastal spots.
We offer commercial solutions for gull proofing and nest removal, featuring robust netting built for protecting spacious areas like warehouses and office buildings. If your business needs effective protection from gulls, our team has the equipment and expertise to secure your space.

We offer safe, effective removal services for these nests, eliminating the need for you to risk encountering a swarm of defensive wasps.

Although moths don’t pose a direct threat to people, they can swiftly destroy cherished carpets, rugs, and clothes in very little time.
Ensure the longevity of your items with our thorough moth removal service. Our technicians specialise in safe, effective moth removal.
Cockroaches
Unpleasant and risky, cockroaches can be a real issue, and they’re more common in the UK than many people might realise. We often handle both American and German cockroaches here at Glasgow Pest Control Co..

Bees are a valuable part of our ecosystem and aren’t classified as pests, so we leave bees alone out of respect for their protected status.
For help with bees, it’s best to contact a local beekeeper in Shettleston.
