Hackney is a patchwork of Victorian terraces, converted warehouses, large council estates and newer canal-side flats, and the pest problems that turn up follow whichever kind of building you're in.

The Victorian terraces and old warehouse and loft conversions around Dalston and Hoxton are often split into several flats. Shared walls, timber floors and old drain runs let mice and rats move from one property to the next, so a neighbour's problem can quickly become yours as well.

Hackney has a large number of ex-GLC tower-block and low-rise estates, from Homerton to Clapton and beyond. Bed bugs and cockroaches can spread between flats sharing corridors, risers and bin stores in blocks like these, and treatment usually needs the managing agent involved alongside the resident.

Newer canal-side developments around Hackney Wick and London Fields bring different pressures — communal bin areas and landscaped courtyards near the water attract rats and wasps looking for food and nesting spots, even in buildings only a few years old.

Around Church Street and Clapton, larger Victorian houses with original wool carpets and quieter, rarely used rooms are where carpet moths and beetles tend to settle in. Spiders build up in the cellars and basement flats common to housing of this age, so call 0800 955 2347 with what you've found.

Rats follow the older drain runs under Victorian terraces around Homerton and Clapton, and gardens backing onto the canal.

Mice move through the shared walls of converted Victorian houses and old warehouse conversions around Dalston and Hoxton.

Bed bugs spread through the tower-block estates and shared houses common across the borough, so room counts matter before booking.

A frequent end-of-tenancy issue in Hackney's high turnover of rented flats, where a previous pet leaves eggs behind in the carpet.

Cockroaches follow warm pipework through blocks of flats and the food businesses along Kingsland Road and Broadway Market.

Ants come in through gaps at patio doors, most often in the terraced houses with small gardens around Stoke Newington and Clapton.

Trees around Hackney Downs, London Fields and Clissold Park give squirrels a route onto nearby roofs.

Carpet moths favour the older Victorian terraces around Stoke Newington, settling into wool carpets and rugs in rarely used rooms.

Larvae live in floorboard gaps and under fitted carpets in the borough's older conversions, easily mistaken for moth damage.

Spider numbers build up in cellars, basement flats and cold loft rooms, common across Hackney's converted Victorian houses.
