Pest Control Enfield

Pest Control in Enfield

Enfield is a large north London borough stretching from the urban streets around the A10 corridor up to the open countryside and reservoirs at its northern edge. The town centre has a busy high street, a market and a mix of Victorian terraces, interwar semis, post-war council estates and modern developments. The sheer size of the area means pest problems vary enormously from one neighbourhood to another. In the town centre and the streets around Enfield Town station, rats are the main concern. The aging drainage system under the Victorian streets gives rats routes through the area and the food waste from the shops, takeaways and market stalls feeds the problem. We handle rat control across all of Enfield, from the commercial centre to the residential estates in Bush Hill Park, Southbury and Forty Hill.

Mice are the most common residential pest call across the borough. The Victorian terraces have cavity walls, shared party walls and suspended timber floors that mice travel through, while the interwar semis have aging air bricks and gaps around pipework. Mouse control is a year-round job, with the busiest period from October through to March. The northern parts of the borough, where housing borders the open countryside around Crews Hill and Enfield Chase, see more rural pest pressure, with field mice and rats coming in from the surrounding farmland.

Grey squirrels from the parks, cemeteries and mature gardens across the borough get into loft spaces regularly and squirrel removal is a common call from the leafier streets. Wasp nests turn up everywhere in summer, from the flat roofs of the council block garages to the garden sheds of the suburban semis. Bed bugs are a growing issue in the rental market and the borough's mix of housing types means we see the full spectrum of pest problems.
