Local pest control in Erith
Erith is made up largely of Victorian terraces, post-war estates and new flats near the river. The riverside, industrial estates and marshes around Erith mean rats are common, along with gulls on roofs and pigeons on new blocks.
Erith is in the London Borough of Bexley, on the Thames. Erith Pier, one of the longest in London, stretches out into the Thames.

Pest control in Erith: questions and answers
Do you cover Erith?
Yes. We cover Erith (DA8) 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 Erith?
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 Erith?
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 Erith 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.
Why are there so many rats near the river in Erith?
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 Erith?
If rats are coming from neglected land or a neighbouring property, you can report it to Bexley 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 Erith?
Yes. We arrange access with tenants, treat and proof, and send a written report. See pest control for landlords.
