Pest Exterminator for Businesses and Homes
Pest problems in Scarborough are often very different from those inland. As a busy coastal town, properties are particularly affected by seagulls, pigeons and other nuisance birds, alongside more common pests such as rodents and insects.
At Bite Back Pest Control, we provide professional, humane pest control services in Scarborough and the surrounding coastal areas, with specialist expertise in bird and seagull control for homes, businesses and hospitality premises.
Scarborough’s seafront location, tourism industry and historic buildings create ideal conditions for pest activity. Easy access to food waste, flat roofs and nesting areas means problems can escalate quickly without professional intervention.
We understand the unique pest challenges faced by Scarborough properties, from aggressive seagulls during nesting season to rodents around commercial waste areas.
Seagulls are by far the most common and disruptive pest in Scarborough, particularly for:
Hotels and guest houses
Restaurants, cafés and takeaways
Shops and seafront businesses
Residential properties near the coast
Common problems include:
Aggressive behaviour during nesting season
Loud noise early morning and late evening
Heavy fouling of roofs, pavements and outdoor seating areas
Blocked gutters and drainage
Damage to roofing materials and chimney stacks
Health risks from droppings in public areas
Seagulls are highly territorial and often return to the same buildings year after year, making professional bird proofing essential.
All bird control is carried out legally and humanely, in line with the Wildlife and Countryside Act.
Our bird control services include:
Bird spikes for ledges, signs, chimneys and roof edges
Bird netting for larger roof areas, courtyards and balconies
Discreet bird wire systems for heritage and coastal buildings
Anti-roosting deterrents
Nest removal (where legally permitted)
Long-term bird proofing to prevent repeat problems
All systems are designed for coastal conditions, including wind, salt exposure and weathering.
