Pest Control London 24 provides pest control across the London Borough of Islington for homes, flats, landlords and commercial premises. This hub brings together the main pest services, published prices and local-area pages in one place, from the Georgian terraces near Angel to the warehouse conversions along the Regent's Canal.
That's rats, mice, wasps, bed bugs, fleas, cockroaches, ants, squirrels, carpet moths, carpet beetles and spiders, all covered. Rodent proofing is also available for small, accessible entry points. For Islington pest control enquiries, call 0800 955 2347.
Islington is one of London's most densely built inner boroughs, and its pest problems reflect that: tall Georgian and Victorian terraces split into flats, large council estates, and a canal running through the middle of it all. High rental turnover means new occupants often inherit a problem they did not cause.
Streets around Canonbury, Highbury and Barnsbury are lined with tall Georgian and Victorian terraces, many converted into flats decades ago. Shared party walls, old floor voids and basement levels let mice and cockroaches move between units, and a landlord managing several flats in one house often needs the whole building looked at rather than a single room.
Holloway and parts of Finsbury Park include large council-built estates from the mid-20th century, with communal bin stores, long corridors and shared refuse chutes. Bed bugs and cockroaches can spread between flats in blocks like these, so it helps to call 0800 955 2347 with the block name and how many units are affected.
The stretch of the Regent's Canal running through Islington has seen old warehouses and industrial buildings converted into loft-style flats over recent decades. Canal banks and towpaths give rats cover close to these buildings, and older brickwork on a converted warehouse can hide gaps that a purpose-built block would not have.
Islington has one of London's highest proportions of rented and shared housing, and tenants change over often. Bed bugs and fleas both travel with belongings between rooms and between lettings, so knowing how many rooms are affected and how recently the last tenant left matters when booking a treatment.
Every page below sets out the signs, where it tends to crop up in Islington, and the published price.
Rats are a frequent problem along Islington's older Victorian terraces and around the Regent's Canal, where banks and towpaths give them cover between properties.
Mice move easily through converted terraced houses split into several flats, so one entry point can quickly become a problem for every floor.
Wasps nest under the eaves of Islington's Georgian and Victorian terraces, and in the courtyards and gardens behind them. One fixed price, with our 30-day guarantee.
Bed bugs spread quickly between rooms in shared houses and Islington's high rental turnover flats, so we ask how many rooms are affected before booking a treatment.
A common problem when a short-term tenancy ends: fleas left behind in the carpet after a pet moves out go on to bite the next occupant.
Cockroaches follow warm pipework through converted blocks of flats and through the many restaurants and cafés along Islington's high streets.
Ants come into kitchens through gaps at the back door and patio edges, most often in the terraced houses with small rear gardens around Canonbury and Highbury.
Mature trees around Highbury Fields and the garden squares near Canonbury give squirrels a route onto nearby roofs.
Carpet moths settle well in the large Georgian and Victorian terraces, where wool carpets and rugs in seldom-used rooms go undisturbed for long spells.
The larvae live in fluff under fitted carpets and between floorboards in Islington's period housing, and are easy to mistake for moth damage.
Spider numbers build up in basements, cellars and loft rooms that come with Islington's tall terraced houses.

Wasp nests in Islington turn up under the eaves of the borough's Georgian and Victorian terraces, and in the small courtyards, sheds and garden squares tucked behind them. 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, small holes. It covers accessible gaps around a property that rats or mice could be using to get in.
In Islington's converted terraces, entry points are often found in the basement or ground-floor flat, where old service pipework passes through a party wall or an airbrick has come loose.
On the larger estates, proofing more often focuses on communal bin store doors and the gaps around refuse chute housings rather than anything inside an individual flat.
