Our Pest Control Services

Inspection-led pest control across the North East

At Pest Shield, all pest control work starts with a professional inspection. This allows us to identify the pest involved, understand the source of the problem, and recommend a proportionate and effective solution based on evidence rather than assumptions.

We provide pest control services for domestic, commercial and public sector clients across Newcastle, Sunderland, Durham and the wider North East.

An inspection-led approach to pest control

Different pests behave in different ways, and no two properties present the same risks. Our inspection-led approach allows us to:

• Confirm the pest species involved

• Assess the extent and cause of activity

• Identify access points and contributing factors

• Decide whether treatment, proofing or monitoring is required

• Provide clear recommendations supported by findings

This avoids unnecessary work and ensures problems are dealt with correctly from the outset.

Rodent control services

Rodents are one of the most common pest issues affecting homes and businesses. Our rodent services are focused on identifying how and why rodents are accessing a property, not just treating symptoms.

We provide inspection-led control for:

• Rats

• Mice

• Grey squirrels

• Drain-related rat problems

Where required, investigations may include drainage assessments or CCTV surveys to identify hidden entry points.

Insect control services

Insect infestations can range from seasonal nuisance pests to issues that impact hygiene, comfort and compliance. Our inspections allow us to determine whether treatment is necessary and which approach is most appropriate.

We provide control for a wide range of insects, including:

• Ants and pharaoh ants

• Cockroaches

• Fleas and flies

• Carpet beetles and clothes moths

• Silverfish and mites

• Bed bugs

• Harlequin ladybirds

• Woodworm and furniture beetles

• Box tree caterpillars

Treatments are targeted and proportionate, with unnecessary blanket spraying avoided.

Bird control and proofing

Bird activity can cause fouling, damage and hygiene concerns, particularly around rooflines, entrances and commercial premises.

Our bird services include:

• General bird control inspections

• Pigeon control

• Bird and pigeon proofing

• Solar panel bird proofing

All bird work is carried out following inspection, with careful consideration of species, nesting status and legal requirements.

Wildlife and outdoor pest control

We also deal with a range of larger or outdoor pest issues that require careful assessment before action is taken.

These include:

• Foxes

• Rabbits

• Moles

Our approach focuses on prevention, risk management and lawful control where appropriate.
