PESTS IN YOUR GUTTERS: A VERY BRITISH PROBLEM UK gutters are often a disaster left ignored until they are full of nests, pests, and blockages. Most people only notice when water overflows or strange noises start. Bad move. www.standoutcleaning.co.uk

WHY GUTTERS ATTRACT PESTS The UK’s wet weather and falling debris make gutters a perfect hiding spot for pests. Insects move in first, then birds, squirrels, and eventually rats, turning blockages into pest hotspots. One professional gutter cleaning clears the debris and stops pests before they settle in.
THE REAL DAMAGE PESTS CAUSE • Pests don’t just make noise—they wreak havoc. • Bird nests block water flow, causing overflow and leaks that lead to damp walls, peeling paint, and interior mould. • Squirrels chew through plastic gutters to reach lofts, shred insulation, and gnaw on electrical cables. Repairs can cost hundreds. • Rats leave droppings that wash into gardens and patios during rain—posing serious health risks to pets and children.
SIGNS YOU HAVE PESTS IN YOUR GUTTERS Scratching noises, droppings, or feathers around your gutters are clear signs pests have moved in. Moss, twigs, or shredded insulation sticking out often means nesting. And if you notice water stains on your walls, your gutters are blocked, making them a perfect pest hotspot.
PREVENTION BEATS PEST CONTROL Regular gutter checks are the easiest way to prevent pests. Spring clears winter debris, and autumn clears fresh leaves before they rot. Gutter guards help, but don’t stop everything, as debris still builds up. • Cutting back tree branches and fixing cracks or loose joints also reduces nesting spots. Simple maintenance keeps pests out and your gutters working properly.
