Pest Control Lambeth

Pest Control in Lambeth

Lambeth covers a large swathe of South London from the Thames at Westminster Bridge down through Kennington, Vauxhall and into Brixton and the range of buildings and environments within it makes for a complex pest control picture. The area closest to the river around Lambeth Palace, the South Bank and Vauxhall is heavily developed with commercial buildings, transport hubs and riverside apartments and the Thames is the main source of rat activity at this end. Rats use the riverbanks, the tide line and the old drainage outfalls to move along the waterfront and the buildings closest to the water see the most pressure. We carry out rat control in Lambeth for properties and businesses right along the riverside and into the residential streets behind.

Further back from the river, the housing in Lambeth is a dense mix of Georgian and Victorian terraces, council estates from the post-war decades and newer developments that have filled in the gaps. The terraces along Kennington Road, Black Prince Road and the streets around the Oval have all the features that make old London houses vulnerable to mice: party walls, sub-floor voids, cellar conversions and decades of alterations. The council estates at Lambeth Walk and the Vauxhall area have their own issues with shared bin areas, service risers and the flat roofs that are so common on post-war blocks. Mouse control in Lambeth is our most frequent call right across the borough, covering every type of property and every neighbourhood within it.

The food businesses along the South Bank, at Vauxhall and along Lambeth Walk add commercial pest control to the residential demand. Bed bugs are a growing concern in the rental properties and hostels within Lambeth and the density of the built environment here means that pest problems in one property can easily affect the neighbours. Lambeth is one of the most diverse and dynamic parts of London and the pest control work here reflects that variety.
