Pest Control Biggin Hill

Pest Control in Biggin Hill

Biggin Hill sits on the high ground at the southern edge of the London Borough of Bromley, famous for its wartime airfield and now a mix of residential streets, the airport and the green belt countryside that wraps around the settlement on three sides. The housing ranges from the 1930s semis along the main road to post-war council-built estates and modern developments near the airfield. The position on the edge of the green belt means that properties on the fringes of the built-up area face pest pressure from the surrounding farmland and woodland. Brown rats move in from the fields, especially after autumn ploughing or when the cold weather arrives. The back gardens of the houses along the western edge, where they meet the fields, see the most activity. Our rat control in Biggin Hill covers both the residential streets and the more rural properties at the edges.

Mice are common across all types of housing. The 1930s houses have the standard inter-war construction with suspended timber floors and airbrick ventilation and cracked airbricks let mice in at ground level. The post-war estates see mice entering through gaps around service entries and meter cupboards. The modern builds are generally better sealed, but mice still find their way in around boiler flues and cable entries. We carry out mouse control across Biggin Hill with proofing included as standard.

The surrounding green belt supports grey squirrels that enter roof spaces from overhanging trees and the exposed, hilltop position of Biggin Hill makes wasps seek out the most sheltered spots they can find for nesting. Loft spaces, wall cavities and garden sheds are the main locations. Our wasp removal in Biggin Hill runs throughout the summer, with most nests treated on the same day you call.
