Pest Control North Harrow

Pest Control in North Harrow

North Harrow is a residential suburb in the London Borough of Harrow, centred around its Metropolitan line station and the shops along Pinner Road. The housing is predominantly 1930s semis and terraces with bay windows and hipped roofs, the kind of classic London suburban homes that line street after street across this part of Middlesex. Mice love these houses. The cavity walls, suspended timber floors and loft spaces were built with gaps that have only widened with age and mice need so little room to squeeze through. We deal with mouse control in North Harrow throughout the year and the approach always combines trapping with proofing to stop them getting back in.

Rats come up regularly too. The allotments off Headstone Lane, the railway embankments and the green corridors that thread through this part of Harrow all provide cover and food for rats. From these spaces they move into nearby gardens, especially where bird food, compost or fallen fruit offers an easy meal. The drainage network under the older streets is another route in and damaged sewers are often the source of rats appearing inside ground-floor kitchens and bathrooms. A rat control job that keeps coming back usually points to a drain problem that needs fixing.

Wasps nest in the loft spaces and eaves of homes across North Harrow every summer and the compact back gardens with sheds and fences provide sheltered spots at ground level too. We handle wasp nest removal and can usually treat a nest on the day of the call. Squirrels are common in the streets with larger trees, getting into roof spaces through gaps where the soffit meets the roofline or where tiles have slipped. A squirrel in the loft needs prompt attention before the damage to wiring and insulation becomes a serious problem.
