Local pest control in Thamesmead
Thamesmead is made up largely of 1960s and 1970s estates and new developments. Lakes, canals and the riverside give rats plenty of habitat, and estates with shared bin stores and ducts see mice and cockroaches.
Thamesmead is split between the Royal Borough of Greenwich and the London Borough of Bexley. Southmere Lake and the Thames riverside path are at the heart of the area.

Common pests in Thamesmead
Rats by the river and in drains
Rats live along the river wall, docks and old drain runs around Thamesmead. We treat, proof gaps and fit rat blockers where drains are the source.

Pest control in Thamesmead: questions and answers
Do you cover Thamesmead?
Yes. We cover Thamesmead (SE28 and SE2) 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 Thamesmead?
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 Thamesmead?
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 Thamesmead 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 Thamesmead?
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 Thamesmead?
If rats are coming from neglected land or a neighbouring property, you can report it to Royal Borough of Greenwich'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 Thamesmead?
Yes. We arrange access with tenants, treat and proof, and send a written report. See pest control for landlords.
