Pest Control Brimsdown

Pest Control in Brimsdown

Brimsdown is an industrial area on the eastern edge of Enfield, sitting between the Lee Navigation canal and the railway line. The mix of large warehouses, industrial units and residential streets creates the kind of environment where pests move easily between commercial and domestic properties. The canal and the nearby River Lee provide a corridor for rats and the industrial estates generate food waste and shelter that keep rodent numbers high. We carry out rat control for both businesses and homes across Brimsdown and the work often involves tackling problems on an industrial site that are spilling over into the housing next door.

The residential streets to the west of the industrial area are mostly 1930s and post-war houses, semi-detached with gardens backing onto each other. Mice are a regular problem in these properties, especially where rear gardens border the industrial land or the canal. Mouse activity picks up through autumn as the temperature drops and the houses closest to open ground or waste land tend to get hit first. The industrial buildings themselves can attract cockroaches and stored product insects depending on what businesses are operating there and loading bays left open during the day give pests easy access.

Wasps nest in the eaves and soffits of the residential properties each summer and the scrubby land along the canal supports foxes that range into gardens after dark. The Lee Valley corridor that runs past Brimsdown is a green space that connects the area to reservoirs and marshland further south and that unbroken strip of habitat means there is always wildlife pressure on properties along the edge of it. Wasp removal and general rodent work make up the bulk of our calls here.
