Common Pest Problems in Berwick

Living in the Borders, we’re lucky to be surrounded by nature — but that often means pests come with the territory. I’ve seen first-hand how quickly a small pest issue can turn into a major headache if left unchecked. Whether you're in town or out on the land, here are some of the most common problems I deal with locally:

Rats & Mice

Cold winters and nearby farms mean rodents are always looking for shelter — in lofts, sheds, cupboards, and cavity walls. I’ll find out how they got in, clear them out, and block them from coming back.

Wasp Nests

Come summer, wasps are a nightmare — especially when they set up shop in roofs, garages, or even kids’ playhouses. I’ll remove the nest safely and fast, with no drama.

Grey Squirrels

They might look cute, but squirrels in lofts cause chewed wires, insulation mess and sleepless nights. I know how to deal with them quickly and lawfully.

Pigeons & Nesting Birds

From solar panels to barns, pigeons love to roost in Berwick — and they leave one heck of a mess behind. I provide humane bird-proofing and cleanup.

Ants, Fleas, and Bed Bugs

In summer, ants sneak in through cracks. Fleas love homes with dogs and cats. And bed bugs? Once they’re in, DIY sprays won’t cut it. I’ve got the kit and know-how to wipe them out properly.

Wildlife & Rural Pests

Moles, foxes, and other countryside critters are part of life here — but they don’t have to wreck your land or livestock. I’ve spent years dealing with these pests professionally and humanely.

No matter what pest you’re dealing with, I’ve likely handled it before — and know how to fix it quickly.

What to Expect When You Call Pestforce Berwick

First thing you’ll notice? You’re speaking to me, Stuart — not a switchboard, not a sales team. Just a local pest control bloke who knows what he’s doing.

Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Quick Call or Message

Give me a ring on 01289?345?010 or drop a message. You tell me what you’ve seen, heard, or smelled — I’ll ask a few questions and let you know what I reckon.

Step 2: Free Inspection

If needed, I’ll pop round for a no-obligation inspection — usually same-day. I’ll look over the problem areas, explain exactly what’s going on, and talk you through the best way to fix it.

Step 3: Tailored Treatment Plan

Every job’s different — so I’ll build a pest control plan that suits you, your property, and your budget. No “one size fits all” nonsense, and no surprise charges.

Step 4: Safe, Clean, and Thorough Work

I use the latest BPCA-approved tools and treatments, always with safety in mind — especially if you’ve got pets, kids, or livestock. I clean up after myself, and I’ll leave your place better than I found it.

Step 5: Advice & Ongoing Protection

Once the pests are gone, I’ll give you clear advice on how to stop them coming back. If you want long-term proofing, I can help with that too.

I treat every job like it’s at my own home — no shortcuts, no pressure, just proper pest control you can rely on.

About Me – Stuart Jeffcock, Pestforce Berwick

I’m Stuart Jeffcock, your local Pestforce technician for Berwick-upon-Tweed and the wider Scottish Borders.

Born in Consett and settled here for the long haul, I’ve spent over 25 years living and working on farms across the Borders — including time with the well-known McGregor Farms.

My background’s in farming, gamekeeping, and wildlife management, so I’ve seen pest problems from every angle — from grain sheds and cattle barns to cosy cottages and rural homes.

This isn’t just a job for me — it’s personal. I take pride in helping local people protect their homes, pets, land and peace of mind. I understand how fast pests can upset your day-to-day life — and I’m here to make sure they don’t.

When I’m not out on the tools, you’ll likely find me:

• Out walking with my six dogs — a pack of Labradors, a Lurcher, and a lively Cocker Spaniel
• Fishing or shooting along the River Tweed
• Or just enjoying the countryside with my family, watching ospreys in the summer skies

I bring that same care and patience to every pest control job — whether you’ve got a wasp nest in your loft, rats in the barn, or bed bugs in a spare room. You call, I turn up, I sort it.

Pest Control Services in Berwick

Whatever the pest, whatever the season — I’ve got you covered across Berwick and the Borders. With deep local knowledge and years of experience, I offer a wide range of professional pest control solutions for homes, gardens, farms, and rural estates.

Here’s what I can help with:

Rats & Mice

Rodents are a constant nuisance in both town and country — and if you’ve seen one, there’s usually more. I find the source, deal with the infestation, and proof your property to keep them out for good. Indoors, outdoors, lofts, barns — I’ve cleared them all.

Grey Squirrel Control

If you’re hearing scrabbling in your loft or finding chewed wires and insulation, grey squirrels are often to blame. I offer humane control options, tailored to UK laws, to remove and prevent these destructive intruders.

Bed Bugs & Fleas

Itchy bites? Tiny blood spots on the bedding? If you’ve got fleas or bed bugs, DIY sprays won’t touch it. I use BPCA-approved treatments to wipe out infestations quickly and safely — ideal for homes, holiday lets, and guest houses.

Mole Catching (Traditional Trapping)

Molehills wreck lawns, pastures, and paddocks in no time. I offer traditional mole trapping across the Borders — effective, discreet, and without poison. Ideal for farms, estates, and gardens.

Wasp & Hornet Nest Removal

I’m fully kitted out to remove wasp and hornet nests — safely, quickly, and often on the same day. Whether they’re in lofts, sheds, eaves or underground, I’ll get rid of them before someone gets stung.

Bee Relocation

Honeybees don’t get zapped — they get rescued and relocated. I work closely with local beekeepers to remove swarms or nests with care, always respecting these vital pollinators.

Loft Clearance & Sanitation

After pests have gone, the mess often remains — droppings, nesting, contamination. I offer full loft clearance and sanitation, leaving your home clean, fresh, and safe to use again.

Moths & Flies

Found damage in your clothes or carpets? Moths might be to blame. Flies buzzing around bins or livestock? I’ll identify the species and provide targeted treatments to deal with the problem properly.

Rabbits & Foxes

Out on the land, rabbits and foxes can cause serious problems — from crop damage to poultry loss. I provide legal, humane control services for rural properties, smallholdings, and farms.

Thermal Night Shooting (Rats & Foxes)

I’m fully trained and equipped for professional thermal night shooting — a discreet, efficient way to control rats around farmyards and foxes targeting livestock, especially where baiting isn’t enough.

You won’t find gimmicks or guesswork here — just proper pest control, done right.

Commercial & Agricultural Pest Control in the Scottish Borders

Running a farm, estate, or rural business in the Borders? Then you already know — pests are part of the job, but they don’t have to become a major problem.

With over 25 years in farming and game management, including time with McGregor Farms, I bring proper, boots-on-the-ground knowledge to every job.

I know what’s at stake when rodents get into grain stores, moles tear up pasture, or foxes threaten livestock.

Here’s how I help:

Rodent Control for Farms

Rats and mice love grain stores, feed sheds, machinery bays and stables. I offer discreet, effective rodent control using a mix of trapping, proofing, and safe baiting plans, all aligned with farm assurance schemes and best practice.

Livestock Protection (Fox & Vermin)

I offer night shooting and monitoring using thermal optics to control foxes and rats that threaten poultry, lambs, or young stock. Quick response, low disruption, always legal and humane.

Mole Trapping for Pasture & Paddocks

One mole can ruin a field — let alone a dozen. I use traditional trapping methods to protect hay meadows, horse paddocks and lawns without the need for gas or poison.

Bird Control & Pigeon Proofing

Pigeons nesting in barns, roofs, and under solar panels bring disease and mess. I offer humane deterrent systems, including netting, spiking, and custom solutions for outbuildings.

Rabbit Management

Rabbits damage crops, fencing, and embankments. I provide targeted control with approved methods suitable for farms, golf courses, and rural properties — always with the right permissions in place.

Grain Store Clearances & Loft Sanitation

Once pests are dealt with, I can clear and sanitise storage areas, lofts, or feed rooms — removing contamination to meet hygiene standards and protect your investment.

I understand the pressures farmers face — and I’ll work around your schedule, your livestock, and your land. No time-wasting, no gimmicks. Just dependable pest control from someone who gets it.
