Local pest control in Forest Hill
Most of Forest Hill is large Victorian and Edwardian houses on hilly streets, some divided into flats. Gardens and woodland around the Horniman and Sydenham Hill Wood bring squirrels, foxes and wasps, and large old houses are prone to mice in winter.
Forest Hill is in the London Borough of Lewisham. The Horniman Museum and Gardens is on London Road, with views towards central London.

Pest control in Forest Hill: questions and answers
Do you cover Forest Hill?

How much does pest control cost in Forest Hill?
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 Forest Hill?
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 Forest Hill 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.
Can you deal with squirrels or wasps at my house in Forest Hill?
Yes. We treat wasp nests, usually in one visit, and deal with grey squirrels in lofts legally and humanely before proofing the roof.
Who do I report rats to in Forest Hill?
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.
Do you work with landlords and letting agents in Forest Hill?
Yes. We arrange access with tenants, treat and proof, and send a written report. See pest control for landlords.
