Pest Control Services Across London
London is not like anywhere else when it comes to pest control. Victorian sewer systems run beneath terraced streets and give rats direct access to almost every property in the city. The density of housing means a single infestation can spread to neighbouring properties within weeks. High-rise blocks, HMOs and short-term lets create conditions that bed bugs are perfectly suited to exploit.
We are an exterior cleaning and pest control company based in Greater London. We have been dealing with real London pest problems for long enough to know that treatment is only half of it. You also need to know how the pest got in and make sure it cannot get back.
We cover the full range of common London pests for both commercial and domestic clients, across all London boroughs.
Commercial Pest Control London
We work with commercial clients across London including:
- Property managers and block management companies — handling infestations across multiple sites, providing written reports for landlord and tenant disputes, and keeping documentation for compliance
- Hotels and serviced accommodation — bed bugs and rodents are the main risks; we work quickly and discreetly
- Landlords and letting agents — single and multi-property pest control, with survey reports that clearly establish the cause and location of an infestation
- Offices and commercial premises — rodent and insect control with minimal disruption to working hours
- Construction and facilities management — site pest control including rodent proofing during and after building works
Rats leave larger droppings, roughly the size of an olive stone. You are more likely to hear them at night in wall cavities or under floorboards. Mice leave smaller, rice-grain-sized droppings and tend to gnaw on food packaging. Both leave grease marks along the routes they use regularly. If you can smell something musky and see dark smear marks along skirting boards or pipes, you likely have an active infestation. Call us and describe what you are seeing. We can often make an initial assessment before booking a survey.
For most rodent baiting and standard insecticide treatments, no. We may ask you to stay out of a specific room for a short period while products are applied and dry. Heat treatment for bed bugs requires the property to be vacated for several hours. We give you full instructions before we start.
It depends on the pest and the severity. A wasp nest is typically one visit. Rodent infestations usually need two to three. We check the bait is being taken and confirm the infestation has cleared. Bed bugs and cockroaches often need two visits. We give you a realistic timeline at the survey stage.
Yes. We use products compliant with COSHH regulations and the Control of Pesticides Regulations 1986. We give you specific aftercare instructions after every treatment, including any ventilation requirements or access restrictions. Once products have dried and guidance has been followed, treated areas are safe for normal use.
It depends on the cause. Landlords are generally responsible where the infestation is linked to the structure of the building, for example drainage defects, gaps in external walls or poor maintenance. Tenants may be responsible where the infestation has been caused by their own behaviour. Establish the cause first, then decide liability. We provide a written survey report documenting what we found and how the infestation most likely began. Landlords and managing agents use this regularly to resolve disputes.
We aim to get a surveyor to the property within a few days of your first contact. For urgent commercial situations, call us directly on 020 8088 0611.
Yes. For property management companies, multi-site landlords, hospitality businesses and facilities managers who need ongoing pest management, we offer standing contracts with scheduled visits, written reports and documentation for compliance. Contact us to discuss frequency and coverage.
In many cases, yes. If you have bird fouling that needs clearing before proofing can go in, or contamination in a loft space after a rat infestation, we can handle both in one visit. It is one of the real advantages of working with a company that does both.
