Local pest control in Waterloo (SE1) for rats, mice, bed bugs, cockroaches, wasps and more. Homes, landlords and businesses, from our base in SE16.
Local pest control in Waterloo
Most of Waterloo is Victorian terraces split into flats, mansion blocks and modern apartments. Restaurants on Lower Marsh and The Cut, the station and busy offices mean mice and rats are common, and bed bugs follow the many short lets and rentals.
Waterloo straddles two boroughs: Waterloo station and most of the area are in the London Borough of Lambeth, while the streets to the east run into the London Borough of Southwark. As well as the station, the area is home to The Old Vic theatre and the restaurants along Lower Marsh and The Cut.

Pest control in Waterloo: questions and answers

How much does pest control cost in Waterloo?
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 Waterloo?
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 Waterloo 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.
Do you treat restaurants and shops in Waterloo?
Yes. We work with food businesses, shops and offices, with written reports for your food safety records. See commercial pest control.
Who do I report rats to in Waterloo?
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 Waterloo?
Yes. We arrange access with tenants, treat and proof, and send a written report. See pest control for landlords.
