Derek Goodwin is the pest control expert who launched Active Pest Solutions in 2002. Since then, steered by his professional experience, our company has built an outstanding reputation as the 'go to' pest controller for both commercial and private clients across central Scotland. We also deal frequently with equally aggravating but less common pests, including squirrels, moles, ants, fleas and flies. Since 2002, we have provided solutions to thousands of clients in domestic, business or agricultural situations.
We offer professional pest control services to both domestic and commercial customers. Across Central Scotland, and in Fife, Perth and Kinross-shire, we will respond in any emergency and deal with your specific infestation. You can also ask us to make regular scheduled visits to help prevent an infestation from arising in the first place. This is particularly helpful for business customers, and especially in the food industry. We always act discretely when undertaking inspections. We check for early signs of trouble with any pests, and can act immediately to prevent an early problem from escalating.
Fleas Pest Control is often needed because fleas carry diseases. For cats or dogs, flea bites become very swollen and inflamed, causing considerable discomfort, and the first sign of trouble is usually when you see your pet constantly scratching. The real trouble is that once a flea gets settled on a pet, or in a warm cushion, upholstered chair or rug, it isn't alone for long. Dog fleas, for example, can live for up to 14 days and female fleas can lay up to 40 eggs every day. Those eggs hatch into tiny larvae that burrow into your carpets and upholstery, where the larvae can lie for many months.
The most common pest control services we are asked for are rats, mice, wasps and birds; but our qualified pest controllers will also deal effectively with other pest species including ants, moles, fleas and flies, moths and even squirrels. Discover more about each pest here, and how we deal with them in line with all environmental and legal regulations. I phoned them on Sunday and came out early on Monday. Very pleasant. Did what was necessary to get rid of wasps and would appear by the evening that it has been successful.
Introduced to Britain around 1876, grey squirrels breed very quickly, producing up to four litters a year, with an average of three to four young per litter. That's a population boom and it causes problems when grey squirrels cause structural damage to property, including damage to flashing on roofs, tiles, pipes or electrical cables. In gardens, they also dig up plants and bulbs, damage fruit and vegetables, and even strip the bark from young trees. Those signs of damage are what to look out for, but you can also hear Grey squirrels scratching your roof tiles or flashing, so listen out for unwelcome visitors as well.
Sadly rats are everywhere and that's why there is such a demand for rats pest control. They pose a real problem for householders and businesses in towns, cities and rural locations; meaning our rat control service is in constant demand across Fife, Kinross, Perth and Central Scotland. We provide fast, effective rat control that uses only approved trapping and baiting systems. These protect you, your family, your pets, your business, and the environment. The most common type of rat in the UK is the Brown rat.
Businesses often need help with flies and pest control, especially in the food sector, but it is just as important to tackle fly problems in the home because certain flies carry and transmit diseases. We can provide one-off visits for fly control or - particularly for businesses - we provide regular fly control inspections, especially where good hygiene standards are essential by law. If flies have become a problem then we can supply and fit a range of fly screens for doors and windows; apply electric flytraps, scented flytraps or sticky board flytraps; as well as supply insecticides, sprays and fogging equipment.
