Pest Control Across Scotland
Glasgow recorded 13,607 pest control callouts for rats and mice in 2024 alone, surpassing all other Scottish local authorities combined and ranking third worst in the UK for rat infestations. The city’s aging drainage, litter problems, missed waste collections and major construction work have all contributed to a sharp rise in rodent activity, particularly in the tenement housing of the Southside, East End and Maryhill.
Edinburgh is tackling its own rodent crisis. The council announced plans to explore a dedicated anti-rat task force in 2024 following infestations across the city, including a high-profile incident at Kaimes Special School where mice were found in unopened food bags and animal droppings in pupil work trays. Edinburgh’s historic Old Town and busy Royal Mile hospitality district generate steady demand for mouse, cockroach and bed bug treatments.
Seagulls are a growing political issue in Scotland. The Scottish Government held a seagull summit after an elderly woman in Moray broke her leg during a gull attack. NatureScot reduced the number of gull control licences from 2,041 in 2023 to just 505 in 2024, citing declining gull populations – making professional deterrent solutions more important than ever for affected businesses and homes.
The warm, dry summer of 2024 also drove a significant increase in wasp callouts across Scotland, with pest controllers in Edinburgh reporting a noticeable spike in wasp-related calls. Aberdeen’s granite buildings and harbour area create rodent pressures, while Dundee’s ongoing regeneration has disturbed established rat populations. JG Pest Control covers all of Scotland.

Frequently Asked Questions: Pest Control in Scotland
What pests are most common in Scotland?
Rats and mice are by far the most common, especially in the cities. Glasgow and Edinburgh both see very high rodent activity. Wasps are a major summer issue, and bed bugs are increasingly common in tourist accommodation.
Do you cover all of Scotland?
Yes. We provide pest control services from the Borders to the Highlands. Our technicians are based across Scotland to ensure fast response times.
Can you help with pest problems in tenement flats?
Yes. Tenement properties are one of our most common callouts. We identify entry points, carry out treatment and advise on proofing to prevent re-infestation. We can also coordinate with neighbours and factors for shared solutions.
How quickly can you respond in Scotland?
We offer same-day emergency callouts across Scotland. In the Central Belt we can usually be with you within a couple of hours. More remote areas may take slightly longer but we always aim for the fastest possible response.
