Local pest control in Barbican

A standard visit is £90, the same as everywhere we work. If you need follow-up visits or proofing, we explain the work and agree the price before we continue. See our prices.
How quickly can you get to Barbican?
We aim to see urgent problems, such as rats indoors or a wasp nest by a door, as quickly as we can. Call us and we will tell you when we can attend.
Why do flats in Barbican keep getting mice?
Mice move between flats through shared floor voids, risers and pipe boxing. Treating neighbouring flats together and sealing gaps in each one works far better than treating one flat alone.

Yes. We work with food businesses, shops and offices, with written reports for your food safety records. See commercial pest control.
Who do I report rats to in Barbican?
If rats are coming from neglected land or a neighbouring property, you can report it to City of London Corporation's environmental health team. For rats in your own home or business, we can inspect and treat.
Do you work with landlords and letting agents in Barbican?
Yes. We arrange access with tenants, treat and proof, and send a written report. See pest control for landlords.
