Rat Control London
Rats usually get in from outside — through damaged drains, gaps around pipework and old airbricks. Scratching in a ceiling or droppings along a wall are the usual first signs.
Pest Control London 24 provides pest control services across London for homes, flats, landlords and commercial properties. Our main services cover rats, mice, wasps, bed bugs, fleas, cockroaches, ants, squirrels, carpet moths, carpet beetles and spiders, with rodent proofing also available where small entry points need attention.
We publish clear treatment prices so customers can see the standard cost for the property or number of rooms before exploring the relevant service page. For help with a pest problem anywhere in London, call 0800 955 2347.
Found an active wasp nest in a roof space, wall cavity, shed or garden? Our standard wasp nest treatment anywhere in London is £90 fixed price. It is guaranteed: if the nest is still active within 30 days, we come back at no extra cost.
Plenty of pest control companies ask you to fill in a form or wait for a callback before they mention a figure. We would rather you saw the standard price first.
Rats, mice, cockroaches and ants are priced for a flat or a house, because a house usually has more floors, more voids and more ways in.
Bed bugs, fleas, carpet moths, carpet beetles and spiders are priced for the first room and then each additional room, so a bigger job is easy to work out.
A standard wasp nest treatment is £90 fixed price wherever the nest is, with our 30-day guarantee.
Each service has its own page covering the signs to look for, how treatment works and the standard price for your property.

Rats usually get in from outside — through damaged drains, gaps around pipework and old airbricks. Scratching in a ceiling or droppings along a wall are the usual first signs.

A mouse needs a gap about the width of a pencil. In terraces and converted flats they travel between homes along shared walls, floor voids and service runs.

Nests appear from late spring in lofts, eaves, wall cavities, sheds and the ground. A steady line of wasps going in and out of one spot usually means an active nest.

Bed bugs hide in mattress seams, bed frames and headboards and feed at night. Bites in a line, dark spotting on bedding and pale shed skins are the typical signs.

The larvae live deep in carpet and soft furnishings rather than on the animal, which is why fleas often appear when a pet has moved out or a property has stood empty.

Cockroaches stay close to warmth and water — behind fridges, cookers and boilers, under sinks, and in the shared ducting that links flats in the same block.

Garden ants follow scent trails indoors in warm weather. A trail that keeps coming back to the same spot usually leads to a nest under a path, patio or floor.

Grey squirrels get into lofts through gaps at the eaves and roof edge, often from a nearby tree. Thumping and scratching overhead early in the morning is a common sign.

The damage is done by the larvae, which feed on wool carpets and rugs in dark, undisturbed places — under beds and sofas and along the edges of rooms.

Carpet beetle larvae are small and bristly and feed on natural fibres, feathers and the fluff that collects between floorboards, in airing cupboards and in drawers.

Most spiders indoors are harmless, but numbers can build up in cellars, garages and little-used rooms. Treatment is for recurring problems rather than the odd spider.
Standard prices for our treatments across London. For room-priced treatments, count the first room and then each additional room.

The same standard prices apply in every London borough.
Rodent proofing is available at £180 for up to one hour for small holes. Proofing can be relevant where accessible gaps around pipework, walls or other entry points are contributing to rat or mouse activity.
Treatment deals with the rats or mice that are already inside; proofing deals with the way they got in.
Standard prices are on this page and on every service page, so you can check the cost before you call.
Flat or house, one room or several — the price is set by the property and the rooms involved.

Rats, mice, wasps, bed bugs, fleas, cockroaches, ants, squirrels, carpet moths, carpet beetles and spiders.
For rats and mice we can seal small accessible entry points, so they are less likely to return the same way.
Houses, flats, shared houses, rental properties and commercial premises.
Our office is at 23A Walm Lane, NW2 5SH, in Willesden Green.
Tell us what you have seen and where, and we will point you to the right treatment.
Pests in a rental property can quickly turn into an argument about who caused the problem and who pays for it. We work with landlords, letting agents and property managers, and because our prices are published you know the treatment cost before you instruct us — useful when it has to be agreed with a tenant or a client.
Restaurants, shops, offices and warehouses need a different conversation from a house or flat: access, opening hours and the type of business all matter. Call or send an enquiry with the type of premises and what you have found, and we will discuss the next step.
The first job is often working out what you are dealing with. These are the signs people most often describe to us, and what they usually point to.
Not sure? Describe what you have seen in the enquiry form below and we will help identify it.
