Pest Control North Hillingdon

Pest Control in North Hillingdon

North Hillingdon sits on the edge of the London Borough of Hillingdon, a suburban area between Uxbridge and Ickenham with a mix of inter-war semis, post-war estates and some more modern housing. The Hillingdon Court Park and the allotments and playing fields in the area bring green space into what is otherwise a typical outer London residential neighbourhood and that green space is a factor in pest activity. Rats use the parks, allotments and overgrown boundaries as cover and from there it is a short trip into back gardens and through gaps in foundations into buildings. We carry out rat control across North Hillingdon and the wider UB area and the streets bordering open land or allotments tend to see the most activity.

Mice are the bread and butter of our work in this part of Hillingdon. The 1930s houses that make up a large portion of the housing here have cavity walls, airbricks and suspended floors that all present potential entry points. Over time, mortar deteriorates, airbrick grilles break and gaps open up around where extensions have been added. Mice exploit all of these and once inside they nest in wall voids, behind kitchen units and in loft insulation. A lasting mouse control result depends on finding and sealing these access points as well as removing the mice already in the building.

Wasps are a summer constant across North Hillingdon, with nests appearing in roof spaces, cavity walls, garden sheds and sometimes underground in lawns and borders. We deal with wasp removal throughout the season and can usually treat a nest the same day. Squirrels are a problem in the streets with mature trees and the green corridors through the area give grey squirrels easy routes to rooftops. Once they get into a loft they strip insulation and chew through cables, so squirrel control is something we recommend dealing with sooner rather than later.
