£190 flat / £240 house
Rats in Walthamstow and Leyton's older terraces usually trace back to a defective drain under the street rather than a garden entry point.

→ Rat Control Waltham ForestPest Control Across Waltham Forest's Housing Stock
Waltham Forest runs from the tightly packed Victorian streets around Walthamstow and Leyton to the interwar semis nearer Chingford and Epping Forest, and the building type usually points to the likely pest before we even arrive.
Victorian terraces around Walthamstow and Leyton
Much of the housing closest to the Victoria line is Victorian terraces, many converted into flats with shared party walls and old suspended timber floors. Rats here tend to be a drain fault under the street rather than a garden issue, and mice move easily between neighbouring properties through the same gaps in skirting and floorboards.
Interwar semis towards Chingford
Further out towards Chingford and Highams Park, the housing is mostly 1930s semi-detached with gardens and garages. Wasps under the eaves, squirrels finding a way into the loft through a damaged fascia and ants coming in at the patio are the problems that recur on streets of this age.
Canal-side flats near the Olympic Park edge
Newer developments along the Lea Valley and the canal towards the Olympic Park bring flats with communal bin stores, shared risers and underground parking. Cockroaches and bed bugs can move between units in buildings like these, and treatment often needs the managing agent as well as the resident who reported it.
Epping Forest and the borough's open ground
With Epping Forest running along the eastern edge of the borough and several large parks besides, squirrels and rats in Waltham Forest often travel along tree lines and boundary fences. Call 0800 955 2347 with your postcode and what you've found so we can plan the right treatment.
