While I'm away on holiday this week, Kieran has been stepping in to carry out our gull deterrent programmes, and he's doing a fantastic job.

He's picked everything up incredibly quickly and has taken to the role like a natural. Even better, the hawk is starting to warm to him now, and the two seem to have become good friends!

It's great to see Kieran doing so well and keeping everything running smoothly while I'm away. Keep up the great work, Kieran! 👏🦅

🪳 Cockroach problems often start without people realising, especially during holiday season when we’re travelling more, eating out more, and bringing luggage back and forth from hotels and apartments.

Cockroaches can be picked up from:
• Hotels & holiday accommodation
• Restaurants & takeaways
• Shared buildings & flats
• Second-hand appliances or furniture
• Delivery boxes and bags

Once inside a property, they spread quickly and are extremely difficult to control without professional treatment.

How to help prevent them:
✔️ Keep food sealed and surfaces clean
✔️ Don’t leave pet food out overnight
✔️ Empty bins regularly
✔️ Check luggage after travelling
✔️ Be cautious with second-hand electrical items and furniture
✔️ Seal gaps around pipes and skirting boards where possible

If you spot droppings, strange smells, egg cases or live cockroaches, don’t ignore it. Early treatment is always easier and more effective.

If you think you may have a cockroach issue, get in touch for advice, inspections and professional treatment. 📞

🍃🐀 Seasonal Pest Alert 🐜🏡

As the weather warms up across Scotland pest activity starts to increase rapidly. From ants in kitchens to wasps building nests and rodents becoming more active around homes and businesses, this is the time of year when prevention really matters.

Common pests we deal with this season include:
✔️ Ants
✔️ Wasps
✔️ Rats & mice
✔️ Flies
✔️ Garden pests

🔧 Don’t wait until you have a pest problem, prevention is always better than cure.
Small holes, gaps around pipes, damaged vents, and broken brickwork can all give pests easy access into your property. Getting these issues identified and sealed early can save you stress, damage, and costly infestations later on.

A few simple prevention tips:
🔹 Keep food sealed and surfaces clean
🔹 Check bins and outdoor waste areas regularly
🔹 Seal holes and entry points around your property
🔹 Keep gardens tidy and avoid standing water

Whether you already have an issue or simply want advice on proofing your property before pests become a problem, we’re here to help across Edinburgh & the Lothians.

📞 Friendly, professional pest control and prevention services you can rely on.

Took my brother Kieran to work with me today so he could start learning the ropes of falconry and bird control, and he absolutely loved it!

The first and most important thing he learned was how to tie the falconry knot properly to make sure Eve was always safe and secure, which he picked up reasonably quick. From there, he moved on to handling her and eventually flying her for the first time on site today.

When Eve first met Kieran, she definitely wasn’t too keen on him! Over the last few weeks he’s been coming over regularly, spending time with her, handling her, and building trust before today’s visit. It’s been great to see the progress they’ve made together.

He had an amazing time today and is already looking forward to helping me out more in the future. Proud moment watching him fly Eve for the first time! 🦅

A great moment on a site last week 👌🦅

While carrying out bird control work with Eve the Harris Hawk, this gentleman approached and asked if he could have a photo with her, and of course she was happy to pose for the camera! 😄

He’s kindly given permission for me to share the photo, and it’s always nice to see the interest people have in the birds we work alongside. Eve does an amazing job helping to deter nuisance birds in a safe and natural way.

Thanks again for the photo opportunity! 📸

Bed bugs are becoming more common across homes, hotels, flats and shared accommodation and they’re incredibly good at hiding.

These are a couple of recent jobs we have done in the Edinburgh and Lothian areas.

Bed bugs can hide in mattresses, bed frames, skirting boards, sofas and even plug sockets. They don’t mean a home is dirty, they simply travel easily on clothing, luggage and furniture.

Some signs to look out for:
• Small bites, often in lines or clusters
• Blood spots on bedding
• Tiny black marks around mattress seams or bed frame
• Seeing live bugs or shed skins

The longer they’re left, the harder they can be to fully eliminate.

If you think you may have a bed bug issue, get in touch for advice, inspections and professional treatment before it gets worse. Fast action makes a huge difference. 📞

Another happy customer! 👌

This caravan owner was having a nightmare with gulls perching along the front and back roof edges, leaving mess all over the caravan and decking area. 🐦💩

We installed discreet bird deterrent spikes along the roofline to stop the gulls landing and causing damage and mess. A simple but effective solution that keeps the caravan cleaner and makes the outdoor space much more enjoyable again.
