Richmond upon Thames has some of London's lowest housing density, with large gardens, mature trees and conservation areas throughout the borough. That space shapes the pest problems we see just as much as the age of the buildings.
Georgian townhouses in Richmond's conservation areas
The Georgian and Victorian townhouses around Richmond town centre and its conservation areas often have cellars, original wool carpets and rooms that go undisturbed for long periods. Carpet moths and spiders do particularly well in houses of this kind, and old boundary walls give rats cover to move along unseen.
Riverside houses along the Thames
Twickenham, Barnes and Hampton all sit close to the river, with gardens and outbuildings backing onto the towpath. Wasps commonly nest in sheds, garden walls and under eaves on these riverside properties, and mice can reach the main house through garages and outbuildings left unsealed.
Large detached houses and gardens
Much of the borough is made up of substantial detached and semi-detached houses with extensive gardens, particularly towards Kew and Ham. Ants find their way into kitchens through patio doors in these larger gardens, and squirrels use the borough's mature trees — including those in Richmond Park — to reach roofs that would otherwise be hard to access.
Commercial premises on the high streets
Richmond and Twickenham's high streets carry a steady run of cafes, restaurants and shops alongside the residential streets. Cockroaches follow warm kitchen pipework between commercial units here, so call 0800 955 2347 with the type of premises and what you've found.
