Across the London Borough of Croydon, Pest Control London 24 treats homes, flats, rental properties and commercial premises. This hub brings together the main pest services, published prices and local-area pages in one place, from the town centre's tower blocks to the suburbs around Purley.
Rat, mouse, wasp, bed bug, flea, cockroach, ant, squirrel, carpet moth, carpet beetle and spider control are all offered here. Rodent proofing covers smaller accessible entry points too. Ring 0800 955 2347 for pest control in Croydon.
Croydon runs from a town centre of office towers converted to flats, through dense Victorian terraces, out to leafy 1930s suburbia near Purley and Selsdon, and the pest problems change sharply as you move through it.
Many of Croydon's 1960s and 70s office towers have been converted into residential flats, with shared risers, lift lobbies and long corridors. Cockroaches and bed bugs spread most easily in buildings like these, and treatment often needs the managing agent involved as well as the resident.
Thornton Heath and South Norwood are largely Victorian terraces split into flats, with shared walls and older drain runs. Mice move easily from one converted flat to the next here, and rats are very often traced back to a drain fault rather than a garden.
Purley and Selsdon sit on higher ground in the south of the borough, largely 1930s semi-detached houses with generous gardens backing onto woodland. Squirrels use mature garden trees to reach roofs here, and wasps nest under the eaves of houses of this age.
New Addington and the estates on the borough's southern edge are mostly low-rise housing built in the mid-20th century. Ants and fleas are the most frequent calls in this part of the borough — for anything else, call 0800 955 2347 with your postcode and what you've found.
Each service page here covers the warning signs, where the problem tends to begin in Croydon, and the published price.
Rats in Croydon town centre are usually a drain fault beneath older buildings now converted to flats, while in the suburbs they follow gardens backing onto railway lines.
Mice spread easily through the converted office towers and mansion blocks of the town centre, and between the Victorian terraces of Thornton Heath and South Norwood.
Wasps nest under the eaves of 1930s semis around Purley and Selsdon, and in balconies and roof voids of the town centre's converted tower blocks. One fixed price, with our 30-day guarantee.
Bed bugs move between flats in the town centre's converted office towers and shared houses in Thornton Heath, so we ask how many rooms are affected before booking.
A common end-of-tenancy problem across Croydon's rented terraces and flats, where flea eggs left in carpet after a pet has gone on to bite the next occupant.
Cockroaches follow warm pipework and shared risers through the town centre's high-rise blocks and the restaurants along the high street.
Ants come into kitchens through gaps at patio doors and garden edges, a frequent summer call in the leafier suburbs around Selsdon and Shirley.
The wooded edges near Selsdon and the gardens of Coulsdon give squirrels a route from mature trees onto nearby roofs.
The Victorian terraces of Thornton Heath and South Norwood, with older wool carpets and rugs, are a common spot for carpet moths to settle.
The larvae live in fluff under fitted carpets and between floorboards across the borough's older terraces and newer flats, and are easy to mistake for moth damage.
Spider numbers build up in garages, sheds and unused ground-floor rooms typical of Croydon's suburban semis.

Wasp nests in Croydon turn up in balconies and roof voids of the town centre's converted tower blocks, and under the eaves of 1930s semis around Purley and Selsdon. Treatment is charged at a flat £90, and if the nest is still active within 30 days, we come back at no extra cost.
The rodent-proofing service is £180 for up to one hour, small holes. It fits accessible gaps a rat or mouse could use to get into the property.
In the town centre's converted blocks, entry points are more often found around service risers and communal bin store doors than inside an individual flat.
Out in Croydon's 1930s suburbs, gaps at airbricks and where pipework passes through cavity walls are the usual routes in for rats and mice.
