Local pest control in Borough
Most of Borough is mansion blocks, flats above shops, ex-local-authority blocks and newer apartments. With Borough Market, restaurants and busy streets all around, mice and rats move between commercial kitchens, basements and the flats above them.
Borough is in the London Borough of Southwark, at the southern end of London Bridge. It is best known for Borough Market and Southwark Cathedral, with homes tucked into the streets around them.

Pest control in Borough: questions and answers

How much does pest control cost in Borough?
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 Borough?
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 Borough 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.
Do you treat restaurants and shops in Borough?
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 Borough?
If rats are coming from neglected land or a neighbouring property, you can report it to Southwark Council'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 Borough?
Yes. We arrange access with tenants, treat and proof, and send a written report. See pest control for landlords.
