What’s in your Edinburgh home?
Hard to spot, harder to remove without help. One of the most stubborn pests in UK homes.
One of the UK's most damaging pests. Quick to multiply, quicker to chew through cables.
A serious health risk and stubbornly hard to clear without proper treatment.
Often confused with rats. Daytime scratching in the loft is the giveaway.
Smaller than rats, just as quick. The signs are easy to miss until there are many of them.
A single nest can hold thousands. Removal is fast, DIY rarely is.
Slow-moving but expensive when ignored. A survey usually comes first.
The damage is in the wardrobe, not the air. A specialist clearance is usually needed.
Mess, noise, and damage. Proofing is the long-term answer.
Often arrive on pets and stay in carpets. Treatment is quick if done early.
Honeybees and bumblebees are protected — call a beekeeper, not a pest controller. Masonry and tree bees in walls or roofs may need professional advice but rarely destruction.
A sign of damp as much as a pest in their own right.
Across Edinburgh, bed bugs, rats, cockroaches account for the majority of bookings. Rats peak from October as outdoor food collapses; wasp nests are an early-summer rush; bedbugs and cockroaches are year-round in shared housing.

Why pest pressure varies here.
Edinburgh is a city in Scotland, and pest pressure here is shaped by two things: building stock and street pattern. We see the most call-outs from converted flats above ground-floor retail and new-build estates still bedding in their landscaping, with seasonal spikes traced to student-let turnover in early autumn and canal and river corridors. On top of that, wet, mild north-western air keeps activity going later into autumn. Bed bugs, rats, cockroaches dominate the casework.
