Pest control in Southwark

Pest control across the borough

The London Borough of Southwark stretches from the Thames at Bankside, Borough and Bermondsey, through Walworth, Camberwell and Peckham, down to East Dulwich, Dulwich Village and Herne Hill. That means every kind of pest problem: rats along the river and in old warehouse drains, mice in Victorian conversions, cockroaches on large estates, bed bugs in busy rentals, and squirrels, foxes and wasps in the leafy south.

Pests we treat most in Southwark

• Rats around the river, docks, railway arches, estate bin stores and the back of high street food businesses
• Mice in converted terraces in Peckham, Camberwell and East Dulwich, and in mansion blocks around Borough
• Cockroaches in estates with shared heating ducts and in commercial kitchens
• Bed bugs in rented flats, HMOs and short lets
• Wasps, squirrels and foxes in the gardens of Dulwich, Nunhead and Herne Hill
• Pigeons and gulls on riverside blocks in Rotherhithe, Canada Water and Bermondsey

Southwark businesses

From Borough Market and Bermondsey Street to Rye Lane, Lordship Lane and the Walworth Road, Southwark has thousands of restaurants, cafés, takeaways and shops. We help them stay pest-free with treatment, proofing and written reports. See commercial pest control.

Reporting pests to the council

If rats are coming from neglected land, a derelict building or a neighbouring property, you can report it to Southwark Council's environmental health team. Council tenants should report pests in their homes or communal areas to the council as their landlord. For fast private treatment at a time that suits you, book a visit.
