Local pest control in Canada Water
Property in Canada Water is mostly 1980s Docklands houses and new apartment blocks. Docks, the lake and new building work around Canada Water create plenty of rat activity along the water's edge, while newer flats see grey silverfish and pigeons on balconies.
Canada Water is in the London Borough of Southwark, in the old Surrey Docks area of Rotherhithe. The area is named after the Canada Water dock, which is now a lake beside the library and shops.

The river wall, docks and old drain runs give rats food, water and shelter. Most rat problems in riverside homes start in defective drains, so we check drains and fit rat blockers where suitable.
