Pest control in Rotherhithe: questions and answers
Do you cover Rotherhithe?
Yes. We cover Rotherhithe (SE16) 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 Rotherhithe?
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 Rotherhithe?
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 Rotherhithe 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 Rotherhithe?
Yes. We treat wasp nests, usually in one visit, and deal with grey squirrels in lofts legally and humanely before proofing the roof.
Why are there so many rats near the river in Rotherhithe?
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 Rotherhithe?
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.
