Understanding the Problem

Rats and mice pose serious health risks and can cause severe structural damage by chewing through wiring, pipework, and insulation. Waterside Pest Solutions provides fast, discreet, and effective rodent control across East Lothian and the Scottish Borders, eliminating active infestations and securing entry points.

Rodents adapt rapidly to human environments, entering through gaps as small as 6mm. Once inside, they reproduce quickly and contaminate food surfaces, water supplies, and living spaces.

  • Dark, cylindrical droppings near food areas or along walls
  • Scratching noises in wall cavities, loft spaces, or under floorboards
  • Greasy smear marks along skirting boards and pipes
  • Damaged packaging, chewed cables, or wood gnaw marks

Why Choose Waterside Pest Solutions

DIY poisons and traps rarely resolve established rodent colonies and often lead to dead rodents in inaccessible voids. We trace the underlying entry points pathways—such as broken drain pipes or unmeshed airbricks—to stop the infestation at its source.

Our Professional Process

We deploy proven, multi visit rodent management strategies:

  • Find the source: Inspecting brickwork, and utility entry points to find entry routes.
  • Tamper Proof Baiting & Trapping: Placing secure, child and pet safe bait stations or lethal traps.
  • Follow Up Inspections: Checking bait take, removing carcasses, and verifying clearance.

Long-Term Prevention

To ensure rodents do not return to your home or business, we recommend:

  • Fitting stainless steel mesh to airbricks and weep vents
  • Installing door brush strips on exterior timber doors
  • Securing food waste in sealed, heavy duty containers
