Pest proofing Edinburgh

Finding how pests get inside

Effective proofing starts with an inspection. We check common access points around doors, pipes, vents, wall junctions, roofs and service openings, while considering how the building is constructed and where pest activity has been found.

Suitable materials and repairs

Different openings need different solutions. Proofing should resist gnawing, allow necessary ventilation and avoid trapping animals inside. We explain which work can be completed as part of pest control and where a roofer, drainage contractor or other trade may be required.

Prevention for homes and businesses

Proofing works best alongside good waste storage, housekeeping and maintenance. For businesses, routine inspections can help identify new gaps or damage before activity develops into a larger problem.
