Pestforge Solutions - Glasgow Pest Control and proofing specialists

Rodent Infestations (Rats)Rats are highly adaptable and can gain access to your property through gaps as small as 13mm. Once inside, they often make their way into loft spaces, where they nest within insulation and remain hidden from view.At first, this may seem harmless—but rats can cause serious damage in a short amount of time, often before you even realise they are there.Rats are known carriers of several dangerous diseases, primarily spread through urine, droppings, or bites. These include Leptospirosis (Weil’s disease), Salmonella, E. coli, Hantavirus, and Rat-bite fever. In some cases, these illnesses can lead to severe symptoms such as fever, jaundice, and even organ failure.Another major risk comes from their constant need to chew. Rats’ teeth never stop growing, so they must gnaw continuously to keep them worn down. In loft spaces, this can be especially dangerous, as they may chew through electrical wiring—creating a serious fire hazard within your home.What We Can Do For YouFollowing CRRU (Campaign for Responsible Rodenticide Use) guidelines, we carry out a thorough inspection to identify any potential entry points around your property.We use a range of professional methods to locate activity and access routes, including:Trail cameras
Drain cameras
UV tracking dustOnce identified, we will secure and proof all entry points to prevent rodents from gaining access again—providing a long-term solution, not just a quick fix.We will also deal with any rodents currently inside the property using a range of effective trapping techniques. Where trapping is not feasible, rodenticides may be used responsibly and in line with regulations, ensuring safety and compliance at all times.If you suspect rodent activity, don’t wait—early action prevents costly damage.

Mouse Control & ProofingMice are one of the most common pests to enter homes and businesses, and due to their small size, they can gain access through gaps as little as 6mm — roughly the size of a pen.They are highly active, breed quickly, and tend to nest in hidden areas such as lofts, wall cavities, kitchen units, and behind appliances. Because of this, an infestation can grow rapidly before it’s even noticed.While they may seem less threatening than rats, mice can still cause serious damage. They constantly gnaw to keep their teeth trimmed, which means they will chew through wood, plastics, and even electrical wiring — increasing the risk of fire within the property.Mice also pose a health risk, contaminating food and surfaces through droppings and urine. They are known to spread bacteria and can trigger allergies, particularly in kitchens and food preparation areas.🛠️ What We DoAt PestForge Solutions, we don’t just deal with the mice you can see — we focus on finding out how they’re getting in and stopping it at the source.🔍 Full InspectionWe carry out a detailed inspection of your property to identify:Entry points

Squirrel InfestationsGrey squirrels may seem harmless from a distance, but once they gain access to your property, they can cause serious damage and disruption.Squirrels are strong, agile climbers and can access roofs with ease, entering through weak points such as damaged soffits, rooflines, or gaps in the eaves. Once inside, they commonly nest in loft spaces, tearing up insulation and materials to build their nests.Their constant gnawing is a major concern. Like rodents, squirrels’ teeth never stop growing, meaning they must chew continuously. This can lead to damage to wooden beams, pipework, and electrical wiring, creating a potential fire risk within your property.Squirrels are also noisy and active, particularly in the early morning and evening. You may hear scratching, scurrying, or banging sounds coming from your loft or walls.In addition to structural damage, squirrels can contaminate areas with droppings and urine, posing potential health risks and creating unpleasant living conditions if left untreated.What We Can Do For YouWe carry out a full inspection of your property to identify how squirrels are gaining access and assess the extent of the problem.Using professional methods and experience, we will:Locate all entry points

Bed Bug InfestationsBed bugs are small, parasitic insects that feed on human blood, usually at night while you sleep. Although they are not known to spread diseases, they can cause significant discomfort, stress, and disruption within your home.They are excellent at hiding and can be found in:Mattresses and bed frames
Headboards
Sofas and soft furnishings
Cracks, crevices, and electrical outletsBed bugs reproduce quickly, meaning a small problem can turn into a full infestation in a short period of time if not dealt with properly.Common signs of a bed bug infestation include:Itchy red bites, often in lines or clusters
Small blood spots on bedding
Dark spots (droppings) around mattress seams
Shed skins or a musty odour in heavily infested areasBecause they are so difficult to detect and eliminate, DIY treatments are often ineffective and can allow the problem to spread further.What We Can Do For YouWe provide a thorough and professional approach to identifying and treating bed bug infestations.Our service includes:Full inspection to confirm activity and locate hiding areas

Pigeon Proofing & ControlPigeons can become a serious nuisance when they begin roosting on buildings, ledges, and rooftops. Over time, this can lead to a build-up of droppings (guano), nesting materials, and ongoing mess—affecting both the appearance and safety of your property.Pigeon guano is not just unsightly—it can pose health risks, as it may contain harmful bacteria and pathogens. In addition, it is highly acidic and can cause damage to brickwork, paint, metal, and roofing materials if left untreated.Once pigeons establish a roosting spot, they will continue to return unless effective preventative measures are put in place.What We Can Do For YouWe specialise in humane pigeon proofing solutions designed to prevent roosting and nesting without harm.Our services include:Bird netting – Ideal for larger areas such as rooftops, solar panels, and open structures. Netting creates a physical barrier that prevents pigeons from accessing these spaces.
Bird spiking – Discreet and effective, spikes are installed on ledges, beams, and other landing areas to stop pigeons from settling.
Proofing and deterrents – We assess your property and install tailored solutions to block access points and discourage return activity.Guano Cleaning & HygieneWhere droppings have built up, we provide a full hygiene clean and decontamination service.This includes:Safe removal of guano and nesting materials
Application of professional cleaning agents
Sanitisation of affected areas to reduce health risksAll work is carried out using appropriate safety measures and in line with current regulations, ensuring your property is left clean, safe, and protected.Protect your property the right way—early proofing prevents long-term damage and ongoing issues. Get in touch today for expert advice and a tailored pigeon-proofing solution.

Specialist Hygiene & Decontamination ServicesPest activity often leaves behind more than just the initial problem. Contaminants such as pigeon guano, rodent droppings, urine, and nesting materials can pose serious health risks if not handled correctly.These materials can carry harmful bacteria, fungi, and parasites, which may become airborne when disturbed — increasing the risk of exposure within the property.For this reason, cleaning up after a pest issue is not something that should be handled without the proper equipment, training, and treatment methods.⚠️ Why Professional Cleaning Is ImportantAttempting to clean pest contamination without the correct protection can be dangerous.Pigeon guano can harbour fungal spores and bacteria that may cause respiratory issues when inhaled
Rodent droppings and urine can carry diseases and harmful pathogens
Disturbing contaminated areas can release particles into the air, spreading the risk furtherWithout proper disinfection, the area may remain unsafe even after it appears clean.🛠️ What We DoAt PestForge Solutions, we provide specialist hygiene and decontamination services to safely restore affected areas.🧽 Safe Removal of ContaminantsWe carefully remove:Pigeon guano
