Common Species found in Glasgow & Scotland
- Norway rat– the most common rat species in the UK also called the sewer rat. Commonly infest gardens, outbuildings, lofts, kitchens and all other manner of premises fouling everywhere they go.

- Grey Squirrel– a common pest in lofts throughout Glasgow and one of the larger, heavier rodent species. Usually invades lofts. A quick tip -DO NOT SEAL THE HOLE IT IS USING TO GET IN-you might trap it inside where it can go nuts (no pun intended) trying to get out. Its better to deal with the problem first and then do proofing (seal the hole). Fo rmore information on our squirrel control services click here.
Most but not all treatments for the above pests will require at least 2 visits. This is because if a professional uses any type of poison (rodenticide) on a site and doesn’t make a follow up visit to remove any carcasses or left over poisons then he or she is breaking the law. Also with infestations ranging from lone intruders through to veritable armies of rats and mice it usually takes between 2-4 visits to deal with most infestations with most problems dealt with in around 2-3 visits. This is a guide only and each case can vary.
