Pest Control Hurlingham

Pest Control in Hurlingham

Hurlingham is a quiet and affluent pocket of Fulham, centred on the Hurlingham Club and its grounds beside the Thames. The streets around the club, including Hurlingham Road, Broomhouse Lane and Sulivan Road, are lined with large Victorian and Edwardian houses with generous gardens and the area has a spacious, almost villagey quality that sets it apart from the busier parts of Fulham to the north. The Thames runs along the southern boundary and the riverbank is one of the main routes for rats moving through this part of South West London. Rats use the foreshore, the walls along the Embankment and the drainage outfalls to travel between feeding areas and the gardens that back onto the river are the first to see activity. We handle rat control in Hurlingham throughout the year, with the river being the common thread in most cases.

The large houses in Hurlingham tend to be well maintained, but their age still works against them when it comes to mice. Gaps develop around sash windows, where bay window structures pull away slightly from the main wall and around the pipework that passes through external walls. The gardens here are bigger than in most of Fulham, with mature trees, hedges and outbuildings that give mice shelter and staging points close to the house. Mouse control in Hurlingham is a regular job and the quality of the properties means the work needs to be done to a high standard with minimal disruption.

The Hurlingham Club grounds and the Wandsworth Park at the eastern end of the area provide green space that supports grey squirrels and the mature plane trees along the roads give them routes to rooftops. Wasp nests show up in the eaves and roof spaces of these period houses each summer. The setting beside the Thames makes Hurlingham a desirable place to live and we approach pest control here with the care and discretion that residents expect.
