Pests in Scotland
Scotland is a diverse country with a whole host of wildlife. Unfortunately some of the fauna within our beautiful country can cause us issues. This array of pests can cause untold problems within our homes and gardens, but Excel Environmental are here to help.
Different Types of Pests in Scotland
Wasps and Bees: During summer, these stingers become particularly active. While they play a crucial role in our ecosystem, their nests can be a concern, especially in our homes.
Rodents: Rats and mice are known to seek shelter during colder months, making homes and businesses their own.
Ants: They may be small, but in large numbers, ants can become quite a nuisance, especially in and around homes.
Birds: Pigeons and seagulls, common in urban areas, can sometimes be problematic due to the mess they make, as well as the nests they create.
Pest Prevention Solutions in Scotland
There are some easy ways to ensure the odd pest doesn’t become a full blown infestation.
Regular Inspections: To keep pests at bay, it’s essential to regularly inspect your premises. Look out for signs of nesting, droppings and physical damage.
Sanitation: Keep your surroundings clean. Ensure no food is left out and rubbish is disposed of promptly.
Seal the Gaps: Ensure all gaps, cracks, and holes in your property are sealed, reducing entry points for pests.
