Rat Control Merton
Older drains under the large Victorian houses near Wimbledon Common are a frequent cause of rats appearing indoors.
Pest Control London 24 works across the London Borough of Merton on homes, flats, landlord instructions and commercial premises. You'll find Merton's services, prices and local areas all together on this page.
The services covered here are rats, mice, wasps, bed bugs, fleas, cockroaches, ants, squirrels, carpet moths, carpet beetles and spiders. Smaller, accessible entry points can be dealt with through rodent proofing too. Call 0800 955 2347; every address in Merton is within reach.
Merton runs from the large period houses around Wimbledon Common to comfortable suburban semis further south, with a pocket of converted industrial buildings and new-build flats around Colliers Wood. Each type of property brings its own pest issues.

The substantial Victorian villas around Wimbledon Common often have cellars, original suspended floors and mature gardens. Rats here are usually traced to an old drain fault rather than the garden itself, and the trees on the Common give squirrels easy access onto surrounding roofs.

Morden and Raynes Park are largely comfortable semi-detached housing with attached garages and back gardens. Wasps commonly nest in sheds and garages on streets like these, and ants find their way into kitchens through gaps at patio doors during warmer months.

Colliers Wood has a mix of converted ex-industrial buildings and newer apartment blocks, often built with shared service risers. Cockroaches can travel along warm pipework between units in buildings like these, so a single flat is rarely the full picture.

Mitcham combines Victorian terraces with newer suburban streets close to Mitcham Common. Bed bugs and fleas tend to move fastest through the older terraced housing, so call 0800 955 2347 with your postcode and how many rooms are affected.

We charge £180 for up to one hour, small holes for rodent proofing. It's aimed at accessible entry points — gaps rats or mice could be using to get inside.
Around Wimbledon's older houses, that often means gaps where pipework passes through cellar walls and worn airbricks.
On the suburban semis further south, gaps around garage doors and utility pipework are common entry points that proofing can close off.
