Pest Control London 24 provides pest control across the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea 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 stucco terraces near Holland Park to the estates around North Kensington.
The main services here are rat, mouse, wasp, bed bug, flea, cockroach, ant, squirrel, carpet moth, carpet beetle and spider control. Rodent proofing is also available for small, accessible entry points. Ring 0800 955 2347 — we don't skip any part of Kensington and Chelsea.
Few boroughs pack in as much contrast as Kensington and Chelsea: grand white stucco terraces worth millions sit a short walk from council estates, and both bring pest problems that a general London hub does not quite capture.
The tall white terraces around Kensington and Chelsea, and the mansion blocks that line many of the wider streets, are largely Victorian and Edwardian in origin, later split into flats. Old service risers and shared roof voids let mice and cockroaches move between units, and treatment in a block like this often needs the managing agent's cooperation as well as the resident's.
Digging out a new basement level under a period terrace is common across the borough, and the work can disturb drain runs and open up gaps that were previously sealed under the original foundations. Rats in particular can appear during or shortly after building work, so tell us if there has been recent excavation nearby when you call 0800 955 2347.
Estates around North Kensington and the streets near Golborne Road are a contrast to the borough's grander terraces — low-rise and high-rise blocks with communal bin stores and shared corridors. Cockroaches and bed bugs spread between flats in buildings like these, and one flat's problem is rarely the whole picture.
Much of the borough's green space sits behind terraces as private communal gardens rather than public parks, with mature trees and dense planting kept for residents' use. These gardens give squirrels and wasps easy access to the surrounding houses, and treatment sometimes needs the garden committee's permission as well as the homeowner's.
Every page below sets out the signs, where it tends to crop up in Kensington and Chelsea, and the published price.
Rats in this borough are frequently a basement-conversion story — new excavation work under a terraced house can disturb old drain runs and send rats looking for a new way in.
Mice move easily through the borough's mansion blocks and converted terraced houses, where several flats share old service risers and floor voids.
Wasps nest under the eaves of the borough's stucco terraces and in the communal gardens behind them. One fixed price, with our 30-day guarantee.
Bed bugs spread between rooms in shared houses and the borough's high volume of short-let and serviced flats, so we ask how many rooms are affected before booking a visit.
A regular end-of-let problem in rented flats and houses across the borough: fleas left in the carpet after a pet moves out go on to bite the next occupant.
Cockroaches follow warm pipework through blocks of flats and through the restaurants and hotel kitchens concentrated around Kensington and Chelsea's high streets.
Ants come into kitchens through gaps at the back door and basement light wells, a common route in houses with lower-ground-floor kitchens.
Mature trees in Holland Park and the borough's private communal gardens give squirrels a direct route onto nearby roofs.
Carpet moths do particularly well in the large period rooms of Kensington and Chelsea's grand terraces, where wool carpets and rugs go undisturbed for long spells.
The larvae live in fluff under fitted carpets and between floorboards in the borough's older townhouses, and are easy to mistake for moth damage.
Spider numbers build up in basements, cellars and loft rooms attached to the borough's tall period houses.

Wasp nests in Kensington and Chelsea turn up under the eaves of the borough's stucco terraces, and in the sheds, arbours and mature planting of its communal and private gardens. Treatment is charged at a flat £90, and if the nest is still active within 30 days, we come back at no extra cost.
Rodent proofing runs at £180 for up to one hour, small holes. It's aimed at accessible entry points — gaps rats or mice could be using to get inside.
In the borough's converted terraces and mansion blocks, entry points are often found where old service risers pass between flats, or where a basement airbrick has worked loose.
Where a basement conversion has recently been carried out, proofing frequently focuses on the new gaps left around fresh pipework and drainage connections rather than the original building fabric.
