Bexley runs from a historic village centre through mile after mile of 1930s suburbia to the industrial riverside at Erith, and each part of the borough brings a different pest problem.

Most of Bexleyheath, Sidcup, Welling and Barnehurst is made up of 1930s semi-detached houses and bungalows with front and back gardens. Squirrels reach lofts from garden trees, wasps nest under the eaves and in loft hatches, and ants are a regular summer complaint at patio doors.

Around Bexley Village and Old Bexley, some of the housing is older Georgian and Victorian stock, with cellars, chimneys and wool carpets that suit carpet moths and spiders more than the newer semis do. Drain faults under these older streets are also a common cause of rats, rather than anything to do with the garden.

Erith's stretch of the Thames is lined with warehousing, trade units and older terraced housing nearby. Commercial premises here need a different conversation from a house — tell us what the building is used for and what you've found when you call 0800 955 2347.

Housing along Crayford and the edge of the Thamesmead boundary sits close to the marshes and the industrial estates along the river Cray. Rats moving along drainage ditches and waterways are a more frequent call here than in the suburban streets further south.
Each service page here covers the warning signs, where the problem tends to begin in Bexley, and the published price.
