Pest Control North Wembley

Pest Control in North Wembley

North Wembley is a densely built residential area in the London Borough of Brent, stretching along the Bakerloo line between Wembley Central and Kenton. The streets are packed with 1930s semis and terraces, many of which have been extended, converted or subdivided into flats over the years. That pattern of alteration is one of the main reasons mice thrive here. Every loft conversion, rear extension and garage conversion creates new junctions between old and new building fabric and those junctions are full of gaps that mice use to get inside. We deal with mouse control across North Wembley constantly and the work always involves finding how the mice are travelling through the building as well as where they are getting in from outside.

Rats are common in this part of Brent too. The older sewer network beneath these streets has had decades of wear and cracked or collapsed drains give rats a route from below ground into gardens and buildings. The allotments, railway corridors and small green spaces that thread through the area provide additional habitat above ground. Food waste is another factor, with the busy commercial streets and takeaways along East Lane and Wembley High Road generating the kind of waste that supports rat numbers nearby. Rat control in North Wembley often involves investigating the drains as well as treating above ground.

Bed bugs have become an increasing concern in this area, particularly in the houses that have been converted into multiple flats. High turnover of tenants and shared spaces make it easy for bed bugs to spread between units. A proper bed bug treatment needs careful preparation from the occupants and usually takes two visits to deal with every stage of the insect life cycle. Wasps nest in loft spaces and wall cavities across North Wembley every summer and we carry out wasp removal throughout the season.
