As a public service announcement, I thought it best to let my customers know that as of tomorrow, it will be illegal to own/sell/use glue boards for trapping rodents in Scotland. If you do happen to have any lying around, now is the time to throw them away.
Far too many times I come across these when setting up jobs, and their continued misuse has triggered the government change the legislation in order to protect animal welfare.
If you have an issue with rodents that you're unable to resolve, just give me a call to resolve the issue promptly.

BPCA has suggested four new policies that would help to support members and ensure the long-term sustainability of the sector.

It's time for my annual post to make sure everyone knows I'm still alive!
As the weather starts to warm up, the insects are making a nuisance of themselves already. Treated my first couple of ant jobs that were already plaguing properties last week.
Even with this nice weather, the rodents are still feeling the chill of a night and are seeking shelter in people's homes. Here is a kickboard I pulled down to reveal the greasy marks from the mouse fur to indicate a very well used entry point.
If you hear any scuttling or have any concerns, just send a message or give me a call and I can sort it out.
Take care in the meantime, and I'll probably be back in 2027 🤣 (I'll try and do better this year)
