This is a borough defined by one enormous building project. The Becontree estate, laid out from the 1920s onward, was once the largest public housing estate in the world, and its long straight roads of near-identical houses still shape how pest problems move through the area.
Road after road of two-storey ex-LCC terraced and semi-detached houses share party walls, roof voids and rear alleys, so a mouse or wasp problem in one house is rarely isolated to it. The gardens are long and narrow, which suits wasps nesting in sheds and fence lines as much as it suits rats moving along the back boundaries unseen.
The huge site once occupied by Ford's Dagenham works has been reworked over the years into a mix of light industrial units, warehousing and newer housing. Commercial premises on land like this bring a different set of problems from a house next door, and we ask what the building is used for before booking a visit — call 0800 955 2347 with the details.
The newer apartment blocks going up along the Thames at Barking Riverside are a contrast to the estate inland — communal bin stores, service risers and shared corridors that let bed bugs and cockroaches spread between flats. Treatment in buildings like these often needs the managing agent involved as well as the resident.
Towards Chadwell Heath and Marks Gate, the terraces and semis sit closer to the Redbridge and Havering boundaries, with gardens backing onto quieter residential roads. Squirrels reach roofs from mature garden trees here, and ants are a regular summer complaint in kitchens with a back door onto the garden.
The signs, the local hotspots and the price all sit on each Barking and Dagenham service page.
Rats turn up along the back gardens and rear alleys of the Becontree estate's terraced streets, and around the old riverside industrial land near the Thames.
Mice move easily between the near-identical semis and terraces built across the estate, so one gap under a skirting board can quickly become next door's problem too.
Wasps nest under the eaves and in the roof voids of the estate's 1930s houses, and in sheds and fences along the long back gardens. One fixed price, with our 30-day guarantee.
Bed bugs spread between rooms in shared houses and the newer riverside flats at Barking Riverside, so we ask how many rooms are affected before booking a treatment.
A common problem when a tenancy ends on the estate's rented terraces: fleas left in the carpet after a pet has moved out go on to bite the next occupant.
Cockroaches follow warm pipework through blocks of flats and the takeaways and food units along the borough's high streets and industrial units.
Ants come in through gaps at the back door and patio edges of the estate's long gardens, especially in the warmer months.
Older gardens around Mayesbrook Park and Eastbrookend give squirrels a route from mature trees onto roofs nearby.
Carpet moths settle in the quieter rooms and cupboards of the estate's older terraced houses, where wool carpets and rugs go undisturbed for long spells.
The larvae live in fluff under fitted carpets and between floorboards in the borough's older ex-council terraces, and are easy to mistake for moth damage.
Spider numbers build up in sheds, garages and cold loft spaces attached to the estate's terraced and semi-detached houses.
A single price list covers the whole of Barking and Dagenham.

Wasp nests in Barking and Dagenham turn up under the eaves of the estate's terraced roofs, in garden sheds along the long back gardens, and in outbuildings on the former industrial land. Treatment costs a fixed £90; if the nest is still active within 30 days, we come back at no extra cost.
Proofing is charged at £180 for up to one hour, small holes. It targets accessible entry points rats or mice could exploit.
The Becontree estate's terraced houses share party walls and roof voids, so entry points are often found where pipework passes between one house and the next, or where an airbrick has come loose.
On the newer riverside blocks at Barking Riverside, proofing more often means gaps around service risers and communal bin store doors rather than anything in an individual flat.
