Rat Control Brent
In Brent, rats most often come up through defective drains under older terraces, or in from gardens that back onto railway embankments and the canal.
Pest Control London 24 provides pest control across the London Borough of Brent for homes, flats, landlords and commercial properties. Our Brent hub brings together the main pest services, published prices and local-area pages in one place.
The principal services covered here are rats, mice, wasps, bed bugs, fleas, cockroaches, ants, squirrels, carpet moths, carpet beetles and spiders. Rodent proofing is also available for smaller accessible entry points. Call 0800 955 2347 for pest control enquiries in Brent.
Our office is at 23A Walm Lane in Willesden Green, so Brent is home ground rather than a borough on the edge of the map. It is also one of the most varied boroughs in London to work in, and the pest problems follow the buildings.

Kilburn, Brondesbury, Willesden, Harlesden and Kensal Green are largely Victorian and Edwardian streets, many split into flats. Shared walls, suspended timber floors and old drain runs let mice move from house to house, so the property next door can matter as much as your own — and rats in these streets are very often a drainage fault rather than a garden problem.

Kingsbury, Queensbury, Preston and Sudbury are mostly 1920s and 1930s semi-detached and terraced houses with gardens. Squirrels in the loft, wasp nests under the eaves and ants coming in at the back door are typical problems in houses of this age and layout.

The apartment buildings around Wembley Park and the stadium are recent builds with communal bin stores, service risers and long shared corridors. Cockroaches and bed bugs can spread between flats in buildings like these, and treatment often needs the managing agent involved as well as the resident.

The Brent side of Park Royal is full of food production, warehousing and trade units, and Ealing Road, Kilburn High Road and Harlesden High Street are lined with food shops and takeaways. Commercial premises need a different conversation from a house, so call 0800 955 2347 with the type of business and what you have found.
Each Brent service page covers the signs to look for, where in the borough the problem tends to show up, and the published price.

In Brent, rats most often come up through defective drains under older terraces, or in from gardens that back onto railway embankments and the canal.

The usual problem in converted flats in Kilburn, Willesden and Harlesden, where one infestation can run beneath several front doors at once.

Wasps nest under the tiles and eaves of Brent's interwar semis, and in sheds and garden walls. One fixed price, with our 30-day guarantee.

Bed bugs move between rooms in shared houses and blocks of flats, so we ask how many rooms are affected before a treatment is booked.

A common end-of-tenancy problem: once a pet has moved out, eggs left in the carpet hatch and the next occupant gets bitten.

Cockroaches follow warm pipework through blocks of flats and commercial kitchens, so a single flat is rarely the whole picture.

Ants come into kitchens through gaps at back doors and patio edges, most often in the houses with gardens in the north of the borough.

Houses near Gladstone Park, Roundwood Park, Fryent Country Park and the Welsh Harp have mature trees that give squirrels a route onto the roof.

Carpet moths do well in larger period houses with wool carpets and rugs, in rooms and cupboards that are rarely disturbed.

The larvae live in fluff between floorboards, under fitted carpets and in stored clothing, and are easy to mistake for moth damage.

Spider numbers build up in cellars, garages and loft rooms that are cold and seldom used — common in Brent's older houses.
One set of prices for the whole borough — from Kingsbury in the north to Kensal Green in the south.

Eaves, roof tiles, air bricks, sheds and compost bins are where Brent's wasp nests usually turn up. Treatment is £90 fixed price — and if the nest is still active within 30 days, we come back at no extra cost.
Rodent proofing is £180 for up to one hour for small holes. It can be used where accessible gaps around a property are providing potential entry points for rats or mice.
In Brent's older terraces that often means gaps where pipes pass through walls, damaged airbricks and the voids under kitchen units.
