Pest Control Upper Elmers End

Pest Control in Upper Elmers End

Upper Elmers End is a residential neighbourhood sitting between Beckenham and Eden Park in the London Borough of Bromley. The streets here are largely made up of 1930s semi-detached houses with some post-war builds mixed in. Upper Elmers End Road and the roads branching off it are typical with their bay-fronted semis and long rear gardens. The tram route from Elmers End runs nearby and the mix of housing and transport links makes this a busy suburban area. From a pest control point of view the main issues here come down to the age and style of the houses. The 1930s semis have cavity walls and suspended timber floors and there are always small gaps where services enter the building. Mice exploit these gaps routinely. Mouse control in Upper Elmers End is one of our most frequent call-outs and we often find that mice are travelling through the cavity wall from the ground floor right up into the loft.

Rats are also a regular problem. The gardens in Upper Elmers End back onto each other in long rows and that gives rats continuous cover as they move through the area. Compost heaps and bird feeders add to the food supply. The drainage in this part of Bromley was laid in the 1930s and cracked or displaced pipes underground are a common entry route for rats coming up from the sewer system. Rat control in Upper Elmers End often starts with a camera survey of the drains to find the break before any treatment goes down.

Wasps nest in the soffits and eaves of these 1930s houses every summer and the south-facing rooflines along Upper Elmers End Road are a favourite spot. Wasp removal in Upper Elmers End keeps us busy from June through to late September. Fleas occasionally come up too usually linked to pet ownership or a house that has stood empty for a while. We cover this area daily and can usually fit you in the same day.
