Local pest control in Deptford
Deptford is made up largely of older terraces, large estates and new riverside apartments. Deptford High Street's market and food shops, the creek and riverside, and large estates make rats, mice and cockroaches the main problems here.
Deptford is mostly in the London Borough of Lewisham, with its riverside edge running into the Royal Borough of Greenwich. Deptford High Street has one of South London’s busiest street markets.

Pest control in Deptford: questions and answers
Do you cover Deptford?
Yes. We cover Deptford (SE8) and the surrounding streets from our base at South Dock Marina in SE16. Call 020 8050 2022 or book online.
How much does pest control cost in Deptford?
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 Deptford?
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 Deptford 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 Deptford?
Yes. We work with food businesses, shops and offices, with written reports for your food safety records. See commercial pest control.
Why are there so many rats near the river in Deptford?
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.
Who do I report rats to in Deptford?
If rats are coming from neglected land or a neighbouring property, you can report it to Lewisham Council's environmental health team. For rats in your own home or business, we can inspect and treat.
