Common Pest Problems in Galashiels, Selkirk & Melrose

Living in the Borders means pests are never far away. I regularly help with:

  • Rats & Mice – common in Galashiels homes, Selkirk lofts, and Earlston farm buildings.
  • Wasp Nests – frequently found in garages, eaves, and roof voids across Melrose and surrounding villages.
  • Grey Squirrels – a major cause of loft damage in both townhouses and country cottages.
  • Pigeons & Nesting Birds – problems on roofs, barns, and solar panels in Galashiels and Peebles.
  • Ants, Fleas & Bed Bugs – infestations affecting homes, holiday lets, and guest houses across the Borders.
  • Wildlife Pests – moles, rabbits, and foxes damaging land and threatening livestock.

About Me – Stuart Jeffcock, Pestforce Galashiels

I’m Stuart Jeffcock, your local pest controller for Galashiels, Selkirk, Melrose, and surrounding Borders towns.

With more than 25 years in farming and wildlife management — including time with McGregor Farms — I’ve tackled pest problems in homes, farms, and estates across the region.

When not on the job, you’ll find me walking my six dogs, fishing on the River Tweed, or enjoying the Borders countryside with my family.

I bring that same care and respect into every job, whether it’s clearing rats from a farmhouse, treating bed bugs in a guest house, or proofing a loft against squirrels.

Pest Control Services in Galashiels, Selkirk & Melrose

I offer a full range of pest control treatments across TD1–TD7, tailored to homes, businesses, and farms.

Rats & Mice

I frequently deal with rodent infestations in Galashiels terraces and rural properties around Selkirk and Earlston. My service includes riddance, entry-point proofing, and follow-up visits to ensure long-term control.

Grey Squirrel Control

Squirrels in lofts are a common call-out in Melrose and Lauder. I remove them lawfully and secure the property to prevent re-entry.

Bed Bugs & Fleas

Guest houses in Melrose and rental properties in Galashiels often face issues with bed bugs or fleas. I use specialist treatments to eliminate infestations safely and effectively.

Mole Catching

Molehills ruin lawns and paddocks across St Boswells, Innerleithen, and Peebles. I use traditional trapping methods to protect land without poison.

Wasp & Hornet Nest Removal

In summer, wasp nests are common in outbuildings and lofts across the Borders. I treat nests safely, often on the same day you call.

Bee Relocation

Where honey bees are found in chimneys, lofts, or trees, I work with local beekeepers to relocate them carefully.

Loft Clearance & Sanitation

Rodents and birds leave contamination behind. I offer full loft clearance and sanitation across the Borders to restore safe use.

Moths & Flies

Carpet moth damage in homes and fly infestations around bins and livestock areas are both common locally. I identify and treat the issue at its source.

Rabbits & Foxes

Frequent problems on farms and smallholdings around Lauder and St Boswells. I offer humane and legal control to protect crops and livestock.

Thermal Night Shooting (Rats & Foxes)

Using advanced thermal equipment, I provide discreet night shooting for farms and rural estates where baiting isn’t suitable.

Commercial & Agricultural Pest Control

With my farming background, I understand the risks pests pose to Borders businesses and rural properties.

  • Rodent Control – tailored programmes for grain stores, machinery bays, stables and feed sheds.
  • Fox & Vermin Management – discreet night shooting and monitoring to protect lambs, poultry, and young stock.
  • Mole Trapping – protecting pasture and paddocks without chemicals.
  • Bird Proofing – deterrents for barns, warehouses, and solar panels.
  • Rabbit Management – effective control for farms, golf courses, and estates.
  • Sanitation & Clearances – cleaning grain stores, feed rooms, and lofts after infestations.

Pestforce Pest Control Galashiels – keeping homes, farms, and businesses pest-free across Galashiels, Selkirk, Melrose, Lauder, Earlston, St Boswells, and the wider Borders towns.
