Pest Control Wembley Park

Pest Control in Wembley Park

Wembley Park is the area immediately surrounding Wembley Stadium and it has been transformed over the past decade from a largely empty event-day destination into a residential and leisure neighbourhood in its own right. New apartment blocks, a designer outlet, restaurants and a cinema have been built around Olympic Way, creating a modern urban environment. These new buildings are generally well sealed, but mice still find their way in through service risers, cable routes and around utility entries and the number of food outlets in the area guarantees a food supply. Mouse control in the newer blocks often focuses on the service areas and communal spaces where access from outside is most likely.

Behind the gleaming new development, the older residential streets of Wembley Park include 1930s semis and terraces that have a very different pest profile. These houses have aging brickwork, cavity walls and gaps around air bricks that provide easy entry for mice and rats. Rat activity in this part of the area is influenced by the railway lines and the commercial waste from the food outlets along the Olympic Way strip. The drainage network beneath the older streets connects to the wider sewer system and cracked pipes give rats underground access to individual properties.

The high proportion of rental apartments and the regular turnover of residents in the new-build blocks make bed bug treatments a recurring need. Bed bugs travel in luggage and on furniture and in buildings with hundreds of units they can spread between flats through the smallest gaps. Wasp nest removal is less common in the newer blocks but very much a summer job in the surrounding streets of traditional housing where pitched roofs and wall cavities provide ideal nesting sites. Wembley Park is a place where old and new sit side by side and the pest control needs reflect that mix.
