Local pest control in Vauxhall
Property in Vauxhall is mostly riverside towers, estates and Victorian terraces. The river, railway viaducts and estates bring rats and mice, while riverside towers see pigeons and gulls on balconies.
Vauxhall is in the London Borough of Lambeth. The new Nine Elms developments to the west are in Wandsworth. Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens, once famous for its 18th-century entertainments, is now a public park.

Common pests in Vauxhall
Rats by the river and in drains
Rats live along the river wall, docks and old drain runs around Vauxhall. We treat, proof gaps and fit rat blockers where drains are the source.
Find out moreMice in blocks and estates
Mice travel through service ducts and bin chutes in Vauxhall blocks, so joined-up treatment with neighbours works best.

Pest control in Vauxhall: questions and answers
Do you cover Vauxhall?
Yes. We cover Vauxhall (SE11 and SW8) 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 Vauxhall?
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 Vauxhall?
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 Vauxhall 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 Vauxhall?
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 Vauxhall?
If rats are coming from neglected land or a neighbouring property, you can report it to Lambeth 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 Vauxhall?
Yes. We arrange access with tenants, treat and proof, and send a written report. See pest control for landlords.
