Local pest control in Wapping (E1W) for rats, mice, bed bugs, cockroaches, wasps and more. Homes, landlords and businesses, from our base in SE16.
Local pest control in Wapping
Most of Wapping is warehouse conversions, riverside apartments and estates. Right across the river from our base, Wapping's riverside means rats from the river wall and drains, and gulls and pigeons on roofs and balconies.
Wapping is in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, on the north bank of the Thames opposite Rotherhithe. Its old warehouses along Wapping High Street are now flats.

Pest control in Wapping: questions and answers
Do you cover Wapping?

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 Wapping?
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 Wapping 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 Wapping?
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 Wapping?
If rats are coming from neglected land or a neighbouring property, you can report it to Tower Hamlets 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 Wapping?
Yes. We arrange access with tenants, treat and proof, and send a written report. See pest control for landlords.
