Welcome to Pestforce Pest Control North Tyneside.
If you’re dealing with a pest problem in North Shields, Whitley Bay, Tynemouth, Wallsend or the surrounding areas, you need more than a quick fix.
You need someone who understands how and why infestations happen in this part of the world.
I’m Malcolm Dunn, owner of Pestforce covering North Tyneside and the wider region.
With over 20 years’ experience working outdoors as a former gamekeeper, I specialise in identifying the true source of pest problems, not just treating the symptoms.
My approach is simple.
Find the root cause.
Fix it properly.
Help you stay pest-free for the long term.

A Different Approach to Pest Control in North Tyneside
North Tyneside presents very specific pest challenges.
- Coastal properties.
- Older terraced housing.
- Drainage systems in built-up urban areas.
- Food outlets and hospitality businesses near the seafront.
Many pest problems here are linked to structural access points, ageing drains, shared walls and hidden voids.
This is where my expertise stands out.
Rather than relying purely on surface treatments, I specialise in advanced investigation techniques, particularly for rats in drains and long-standing infestations that other companies have failed to resolve.
We don’t believe in “quick spray and go” pest control.
We believe in solving problems properly.
Rat Control North Tyneside – Drain & Ingress Specialists
Rats are one of the most common pest issues across North Tyneside.
In many cases, the real source of infestation is underground.
Damaged drains, displaced pipework and hidden access points allow rats to enter properties without ever being seen externally. Traditional treatments often miss this completely.
I am trained in advanced CCTV drain surveys, allowing us to:
• Identify broken or displaced pipework
• Detect hidden rat ingress points
• Trace access routes into properties
• Recommend and carry out remedial repairs
Where required, we also arrange drain repairs and proofing works to prevent repeat infestations.
This investigative approach is why many customers contact us after other providers have been unable to resolve the issue.
If you’re repeatedly experiencing rat problems in North Tyneside, it’s time to look deeper.

Meet the Team – About Us
Pestforce North Tyneside isn’t a faceless franchise. It’s a close-knit, family-led team.
Malcolm Dunn – Owner & Lead Technician
Born and raised locally, I’ve spent most of my working life across Northumberland, the Borders and the North East.
Before pest control, I worked as a gamekeeper for over two decades, including time overseas. That background gave me a deep understanding of wildlife behaviour, habitats and tracking — knowledge that now plays a huge role in how I approach pest investigations.
I’ve owned and operated Pestforce for the past four years, specialising in rodent ingress and drain-related infestations.
Outside of work, I enjoy shooting, cutting the lawn, holidays and spending time with family. I genuinely enjoy problem-solving and helping customers finally get peace of mind.
Chloe White – Contracts Manager
Chloe manages many of our commercial contracts across the region.
With a farming background and three years in pest control, she’s fully qualified and brings both professionalism and approachability to every client relationship.
Based locally, Chloe understands the importance of protecting businesses’ reputations and ensuring compliance standards are maintained.
Andy Schiebe – Pest Control Technician
Andy brings a strong customer service background from hospitality and retail, which makes him brilliant at putting customers at ease.
Originally from the Scottish Borders and now based locally, Andy knows the wider North East region inside out.
No two days are ever the same in pest control, and Andy thrives on the variety and practical challenges the job brings.

Mice Control North Tyneside
Mice are incredibly adaptable and can infest even the cleanest properties.
In urban areas of North Tyneside, they often travel through cavity walls, shared loft spaces and drainage systems.
Signs include:
• Droppings in cupboards
• Scratching sounds at night
• Chewed food packaging
• Nesting material in insulation
Our approach focuses on identifying entry points and blocking future access, not just removing what’s currently visible.
Wasp Nest Removal North Tyneside
Wasp activity increases during the warmer months, particularly around rooflines, lofts, sheds and garden structures.
Wasps can become aggressive if disturbed, and DIY treatment can be dangerous.
We provide fast, safe and professional wasp nest removal, ensuring the problem is dealt with thoroughly and responsibly.
Bed Bug Control North Tyneside
Bed bugs can affect homes, flats, hotels and rental properties.
They reproduce quickly and are notoriously difficult to eliminate without professional treatment.
Common signs include:
• Bites on exposed skin
• Blood spotting on bedding
• Small dark marks around mattress seams
We use structured treatment plans designed to fully eliminate infestations and reduce the risk of recurrence.
Bird & Pigeon Control
Coastal towns like Whitley Bay and Tynemouth often experience higher levels of bird activity.
Pigeons nesting under solar panels or in roof spaces can cause significant damage and hygiene concerns.
We provide humane, compliant bird control solutions, including proofing and preventative systems.
