Rodent Pest Control Dundee

Rodents are some of the most common pests dealt with by Dundee pest control companies.

Finding a rat or mouse infestation in your domestic property is a horrifying discovery and their rapid removal is the only thing that matters.

A rodent presence in your home can spread all sorts of nasty diseases such as Leptospirosis, Salmonella, and Listeria, as well as doing serious damage to property, causing a significant fire risk, and damaging your mental health.

Luckily our excellent domestic pest control service can help deal with rodent problems in a matter of days with our experienced team developing a bespoke plan and selecting the most effective rodent control method for your specific situation.

Dundee Rodent Species

There are many different rodent pest species around Dundee that Clark Pest Control provides pest solutions for.

These are just some of the most common rodent species that Clark Pest Control offer pest control services for in Dundee on a regular basis:

Brown Rats (Rattus Borvegicus)

Brown rats, also known as the common rat or sewer rat, are the most common rat species in the UK. They are around 23 cm in length, with small ears, light brown/grey fur, and a blunt muzzle. They also have a long tail which is sometimes even longer than their body.

Brown rats will live anywhere they can find shelter, water, and easy access to food so domestic properties are often extremely appealing.

 

Garden pest control services are often needed to control this species as brown rats 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 has become less and less common in the UK, with the species declining ever since the larger alien brown rat was introduced.

They are smaller and slimmer than brown rats at around 20 cm with a pointed nose, scaly bald tail, and large feet.

These rats are not often spotted by Dundee residents but if they are they need to be tackled rapidly as they are prolific disease carriers, as was shown by their contribution to spreading the Plague across Europe in the 14th century.

These rats are most commonly found in seaside towns and coastal cities as they often arrive from abroad on ships importing goods from abroad.

Warehouses near docks or container storage facilities are most likely to be infested by black rats, who will eat just about anything including chewing on electrical wires which is a major safety hazard.

Research suggests that up to 15% of fires in buildings across the UK are caused by rodent damage to electrical wires so to minimise this risk you should contact Clark Pest Control the moment you find evidence of a black rat presence.

House Mice (Mus musculus)

You could be forgiven for thinking that the much cuter looking house mouse is a less dangerous rodent to find in your home or business than a rat, but you would be mistaken.

House mice are certainly a lot smaller than their rat cousins, with their body measuring just 6-9cm on average, with light brown fur, a pointed snout, whiskers, and a tail which is around 9 cm also.

This means they can fit through extremely small gaps as small as 0.5cm so mouse proofing your home can be a challenge.

One of the first signs of mouse activity in your home that you may notice is a strong distinctive smell which generally indicates a large house mouse population.

A house mouse infestation carries all the same health and property damage risks as their larger cousins and hiring a professional pest prevention service to help remove this species is essential.

Not only do mice carry dangerous pathogens and are just as capable of gnawing their way through pretty much anything inside a property, and a sighting can cause severe loss of reputation for businesses, which some newer restaurants or food preparation facilities may never recover from.

Furthermore, house mice breed at a very fast rate, so effective pest management is vital so it is best to request for commercial pest control or domestic pest control services from a local Dundee pest control company as soon as possible to address the issue before it gets worse. We will provide reliable and quality pest treatment to deal with your pest problem.

Squirrels

Rodent problems in Dundee aren’t limited to rats and mice, grey squirrels can be a major issue too.

Grey squirrels, or ‘tree rats’, may look like cute bundles of fur that they appear when bounding around your local park, but these pests are a lot less pleasant gnawing through your loft at 3 am causing untold property damage and making it impossible to get any sleep.

Grey squirrels are around 25cm long, with a bushy tail, a silver grey coat, and a pale underside.

Grey squirrels were introduced in the UK in the 19th century and have caused a serious amount of damage ever since.

Not only have they all but wiped out red squirrels across the majority of the country, but these pests won’t think twice about invading your walls or attic and cause significant property damage with their large teeth which require constant gnawing.

Pest control for grey squirrel infestations can be difficult as they often make their nests in very hard to reach spots such as wall cavities or in your attic. Pest control from a professional company is usually required as a result of this.

Clark Pest Control will provide a comprehensive pest control service for all these rodents using a combination of rodenticides, trapping, and installing preventative measures. For more information call us today on 0800 808 5615.

Bird Control Dundee

Unwanted birds which choose to nest and roost on your property can be some of the most annoying pests to deal with for Dundee residents.

Spreading diseases such as E. coli and Salmonella through their droppings and bird pest problems can be a major health concern and the issues don’t stop there.

Birds cause expensive property damage with their poop being so toxic that it can erode even metal and brick surfaces over time, create an extremely unsanitary environment, and are generally a real nuisance to those nearby.

Pest Bird Species Dundee

The most common bird species our Dundee based technicians we deal with are:

• Seagulls
• Feral Pigeons
• Starlings
• House Sparrows
• Crow

If you have an issue involving birds then contact Clark Pest Control today and rest assured that our team’s professional services will swiftly rid you of these flying pests.

Pest Bird Control Methods

We provide a range of bird control solutions. Some of the most effective Dundee bird control services that we offer include: 

Bird Netting

The best way to solve a pest bird infestation is usually deterring them from landing in the first place. In urban areas, pest birds will have plenty of roosting options, so deterrents are often enough to make them move elsewhere.

Bird netting is the most effective deterrent possible, providing a physical barrier that prevents birds form reaching your property.

Nets come in many different sizes, materials, and colours, and can be used in a huge range of situations from stretching between multi-story commercial factory roofs to protecting a single plant or plot in a domestic garden.

Pest birds often reduce the effectiveness of solar panels, so bird netting is often required to prevent them or their faces from covering the panel’s surface

Bird Spikes

Bird spikes are another efficient method of preventing pest birds from landing on balconies, roofs, and windowsills.

Highly flexible and customisable these blunt metal ‘spikes’ simply force gulls and pigeons to take off again once they realise they are unable to land.

Spikes can be attached using glue, nails, or clips depending on the affected surface.

Other Options

In almost all cases bird spikes and/or bird netting, possibly combined with other deterrents such as decoy predators and water-activated sprinklers, is enough to remove your pest bird problem.

If pest prevention is not enough, there are some more specialised pest control services that we offer.

These include:

• Falconry – Using a hawk or similar – Usually only possible on commercial sites.
• Bird trapping – Birds must be released in a safe location or disposed of humanely to avoid animal welfare offences
• Bird Shooting – Last report option, bird shooting will be carried out by a trained marksmen in contained locations only.

Insect Control Dundee

Insect problems are some of the most disgusting and difficult to tackle pest infestations possible.

Clark Pest Control Dundee offers a quality insect control service every time, identifying exactly what treatment that works best for you.

Some of the most common pests that we deal with at Clark Pest Control Include:

Bed Bugs

Bed bugs may not carry any diseases that can be transferred to humans but they can still be extremely harmful to your mental health and quality of life.

These critters will infest your bed or other furniture, feeding on you when you are asleep and causing itchy bites and rashes.

Bed bugs are most common in shared accommodation facilities such as hotels, hostels, and student accommodation and an infestation can cause the entire property to need extensive cleaning.

Fleas

A flea problem not only causes health problems amongst humans but will also target your pets.

Fleas will normally enter the home on the back of a cat or a dog but once inside they will spread far and wide, infesting carpets, pet blankets, and more. Signs of a flea presence include pets scratching, bite marks, and bare areas of skin.

Wasps

Wasp removal can be a dangerous task for an untrained individual to attempt. When you disturb wasp nests the wasp inside will often react in an aggressive manner and you could find yourself with a number of stings.

If you discover a wasps nest in your property you should contact Clark Pest Control immediately. We are industry leaders in Dundee wasp control services and one of our technicians will gladly visit your home or business and remove all traces or wasp nests in a quick and professional manner.

Other Insects

Other Insects which we provide services for include:

• House Fly
• Drain Fly
• Carpet beetle/Larder beetle
• Cluster Flies
• Cockroaches
• Moths
• Ants

In order to remove infestations of all these species, our pest control specialists will use a tried and tested combination of insecticides, traps, and natural deterrents.
