Just some of the reasons that pests are such an issue for businesses in Glasgow include:

Property Damage Problem

As with any property, pest infestations on premises of any business can cause extensive damage. Buying or renting a property and the ongoing running costs account for a large percentage of any companies’ expenditure and repairs that need to take place can raise costs even higher.

Fires caused by rodents, food infestations, birds damaging solar panels, and insects or rodents chewing through structural beams are all realistic threats posed by a commercial pest invasion, which is the last thing you need when trying to run a successful business.

Loss of Reputation Problem

Finding common pests yourself is bad enough but if a customer or health inspector spots a rodent or crawling insect on your premises your reputation as a company will be damaged significantly.

If you run a restaurant, hotel, food processing plant, or anywhere else involved in food production the local media will have a field day with a pest sighting and your licence to trade may even be suspended by the health authorities.

If you are a new business looking to build a customer base you simply may not be able to recover from this hit to your reputation and it is not uncommon for companies to fold shortly after a pest problem was discovered on their property.

Legislation

In 2026, failure to deal with pest problems quickly and appropriately can result in strict legal consequences.

You must meet all your obligations under the Food Safety Act 1990, and utilise the services of a fully trained BPCA accredited member to conduct suitable RISH and COSHH assessments.

In Scotland and England, failure to comply can lead to huge fines up to £20,000 and the suspension or closure of your business.

Domestic Pest Control for homes in Glasgow

Rodent Control (Rats, Mice and Squirrels)

Pest vermin problems in Glasgow city come in all shapes and sizes, but the main culprits are squirrels, rats, and mice. However, there are certain species that cause more problems when dealing with them than others.

Some of the most common pest species that our Glasgow based technicians come across are:

Brown Rats (Rattus Norvegicus)

Brown rats are the most commonly found rat species in the UK and are also known by the name sewer rats or common rats.

They grow to a maximum of 25 cm in length, with small ears, light brown fur, and a relatively flat muzzle.

Their tail is long and scaly without any fur and is sometimes even as long as their entire bodies.

Like most pest species, brown rats thrive in locations that have plentiful shelter and food which explains why Glasgow City Centre homes are so appealing to them.

Our team at Clark provide solutions needed to handle brown rat infestations outside as well as inside properties as love to burrow into piles of grass cuttings or underneath your garden shed.

Professional pest control is essential to deal with large brown rat infestations but there are a few home pest control methods you should employ to discourage these rodents from settling in your property.

These include pest proofing your home by sealing any visible gaps in pipes or exterior walls, keeping gardens and surrounding areas free of debris, and securely covering dustbin lids and compost heaps.

Black Rats (Rattus Rattus)

The black rat is not as common as it used to be in the UK, as similarly to the grey squirrel’s impact on red squirrels the species has all but been eradicated by the introduction of the invasive brown rat.

Black rats are slightly smaller than their brown cousins with bodies around 20 cm long, more slender, with a pointed snout, sleek black fur, and large bald feet.

Black rats are rarely seen by Glasgow residents as they are most commonly found in seaside towns and coastal cities as they now most commonly arrive on ships importing goods from overseas.

Storage facilities throughout Glasgow and manufacturing imported goods are therefore most likely to be targeted by black rats.

Over 15% of house fires across the UK have been estimated to be caused by rodent damage to electrical wires so no matter the species you should contact our team at Clark Pest as soon as you think you have found evidence of a rat infestation.

House Mice (Mus musculus)

House mice are much smaller than rats at just 9-10cm and many people think these pests are quite cute but they can still do a huge amount of damage in the City of Glasgow.

Mice mark their territory using urine and seeing as they are more commonly found near food sources. This can result in food poisoning and the spread of diseases such as Listeria. This makes it essential to get rid of mice as soon as you suspect you may a problem.

They are also able to fit under doors and through gaps as small as 0.5cm so sealing every potential entry point during a mouse proofing session can prove difficult.

Some of the first signs of mice being present are droppings, eaten food, or in the case of a larger population, a strong smell that generally indicates a large house mouse population.

Furthermore, mice breed at a very fast rate with female mice giving birth to as many as 50 pups every year, so a population can increase in size rapidly, making early pest management essential.

Grey squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis)

Since their introduction in the 19th century, the grey squirrel has caused havoc in the UK, driving the native red squirrel into only certain remote regions, and causing pest issues for homeowners.

Grey squirrels are around 25cm long, with bushy tails, a grey coat, and a bare pink belly.

Given their invasive nature, it is illegal to release grey squirrels once trapped so DIY live traps are not a good idea for this species.

If you are worried about how to humanely remove a squirrel problem, contact our local team at Clark and we will provide a humane pest removal. This will help protect red squirrels across the city and throughout the Glasgow area.

When no trees are present squirrels will instead gnaw their teeth on anything wooden they can find, including the structural wooden beams that support your home, causing expensive or even irreparable property damage.

Some early signs of squirrel activity to watch out for include:

• Small mounds of dirt where nuts are buried
• Scratching noises coming from your attic or walls
• Bark stripped away from nearby trees
• Squirrel droppings
• Small holes in rood cladding
• Large nests in trees near the property

Insect Pest Control Services for Home Insect Problem & Pest Management

Insect pest infestations are an often overlooked pest problem that can cause just as much damage to property and a person’s physical and mental wellbeing as much larger pests.

There are as many as 27,000 insect species in the UK and the majority of them keep themselves to themselves and are vital to the ecosystem.

There are several insect pests however, that invade domestic properties in Glasgow and surrounding areas. They cause a variety of health problems, destroy fabrics, and contaminate food.

Some of the most common unwanted pests that our experienced pest control technicians deal with are:

Cockroaches

Cockroaches are one of the most unsanitary insects to find in your home carrying dangerous bacteria which can cause salmonella and a range of other diseases if they contaminate food products.

The two most common cockroach species found in the UK or the German cockroach and the Oriental cockroach, both of which have also been proven by the World Health Organisation (WHO) to spread intestinal diseases which cause diarrhoea and dysentery.

They are most often found in dark damp areas and in areas where there is easy access to food such as kitchen cupboards and pantries.

Beg Bugs

Bed bugs are one of the most frustrating and depressing pest problems to experience in your home. They can suddenly be present in your property after a trip to a new city or by sneaking onto old second hand furniture that is moved into your home. Dealing with bedbugs can understandably be a stressful experience.

Whilst beg bug don’t transfer diseases, they can make it very difficult to sleep and cause nasty bites and itchy rashes.

These insects are often found in shared accommodation such as student halls, hostels, and hotels so if you are using such facilities take precautions such as not leaving your suitcase in your bedroom upon return and washing all your clothes at a high temperature. This can also be a serious and emergency pest problem for businesses in the hospitality industry.

Wasp Nest Removal

One of our most popular insect control solutions that we offer is wasp nest removal. Removing a wasps nest is no easy task and doing so without professional training can be a dangerous undertaking.

When they feel threatened, wasps will attack and if you disturb their nest when attempting DIY wasp control, you may get a number of nasty stings which can invoke allergic reactions in some people.

Other Insects

As much as there are some insects that our experts at Clark deal with regularly we often come across an insect problem from unusual species as well as common fruit fly control issues. Whatever the problem you have in your home, we will develop a bespoke plan specifically for your situation.

Flying insects, ant infestations, fruit flies, cat fleas, and crickets are all insects we have dealt with in the past and for any insect advice call us on 0800 808 5615.

Insect Treatments

Clark’s pest technicians will employ a range of treatment methods to remove insects from your property and put in place prevention measures to ensure further infestations do not occur.

These include insecticides, bait stations, insect traps, and natural deterrents. Each of these methods will be effective in certain pest control situations but not all so a pest control expert is required to determine exactly which one, or combination of these, will be most effective.

Pest Bird Control Glasgow – BPCA Approved Experts

One of the most frustrating pest infestations to deal with in either a domestic property or on your business site is pest birds.

Birds are responsible for millions of pounds worth of property damage every single year with their toxic droppings eroding almost any surface even ones made from stone or metal.

Pest birds like gulls and pigeons can also carry a number of dangerous diseases such as bird flu, E. coli, and Salmonella which they can spread through their faeces and by contaminating surfaces and food stuffs.

Pest Bird Species

Some of the most common bird species which require bird proofing pest solutions include:

• Feral Pigeon (Columba livia)
• Gulls (Laridae)
• Starlings (Sturnus vulgaris)
• Crow (Corvidae)
• Canada Geese (Branta canadensis)

Experience Our Bird Control Solutions

Bird Netting

One of the most effective methods of pigeon and gull control, that deters birds from landing on or near your property is bird netting. Bird netting comes in a number of strengths and materials dependant on the area you need covered.

With smart UV technology, these nets will allow plenty of light through to your property whilst blocking harmful UV light waves from reaching your staff.

Bird Spikes

Bird spikes, which are really pretty blunt and attached to polycarbonate bases, are another great way to stop gulls and pigeons from landing in common roosting spots such as windowsills, ledges, and balconies.

These spikes do not harm the pest birds, instead simply preventing them from getting purchase without being nudged away.

Other Bird Control Methods

In 2026, alongside spikes and netting, there are several other bird control methods we can utilise.

These include decoy predators such as model owls and hawk kites, motion triggered sprinklers, and bird wire.

In extreme cases, deterring birds has failed or is not viable, we can also carry out some more expert methods such as humane shooting or falconry.
