Kensington Rat Control

Perhaps it’s their association with the plague or the fact they live in sewers, people really don’t like rats. Domesticated rats may make loving pets, but the ones you find on the street or eating your rubbish, certainly do not.

Carriers of disease, rats can cause a lot of damage to property with their sharp teeth, leaving behind a lot of debris as well as their droppings. Breeding very quickly, a rat problem in Kensington is something that you will want to deal with as quickly as possible, so don’t delay, call our Kensington rat control team today.

Our Kensington rat control team is highly experienced in dealing with rats and have a number of tricks up their sleeves to ensure the safe extermination of the problem.

To stop you from needing to call them again, our Pestforce pest controllers are also trained to advise and help you to rat-proof your property, to stop them from growing in numbers and invading once more.

Kensington Mice Control

Mice may seem cuter than their larger cousin the rat, but they can still cause significant property damage chewing through wires, walls and even floors to get to their nests and your food.

Smaller than rats, mice can often go unnoticed for much longer, but should still be dealt with quickly as they too can breed exponentially. Our Kensington mouse control experts are just a phone call away and can help you to deal with your mouse problem safely, efficiently and professionally.

Our Kensington mouse control team can also help you to mouse-proof your home to stop re-offenders and are able to use a variety of different methods to control your mouse population.

Kensington Wasp Nest Removal

Wasps become prolific in Kensington during the summer months, causing trouble at family BBQ’s, harassing diners who are eating al-fresco and making nests in unwanted places.

One wasp may be manageable, but as their numbers multiply wasps become more of a problem. If you have a wasp nest that needs removing in Kensington, or simply have too many wasps flying around your home or premises, then contact our Kensington was control team for effective wasp management and wasp nest removal.

Although wasps can give a nasty sting, our trained pest controllers are all equipped with the necessary protective gear to keep them safe and will be able to remove any nest, no matter how large, safely from your premises in Kensington.

Kensington Squirrel Control

Depending on where you live, you may never have seen the UK’s native red squirrel, because they have been pushed out and outcompeted by the grey squirrel which came over to the UK from North America during the Victorian era.

Larger than the red squirrel, grey squirrels quickly outcompeted our native red squirrels for territory and food, driving down their numbers so much that they are now protected and at risk of endangerment.

If it’s cheeky red squirrels giving you grief in Kensington, then we are limited as to the action we can take due to their protected status. However, we can still offer you advice on their management and can put measures in place to keep them away from your property.

If it is grey squirrels causing you problems, then our Kensington squirrel control team has more measures that they can use to solve your problem.

Kensington Bird Control and Pigeon Proofing

In Kensington birds, especially pigeons, are common. The vast majority of the time, pigeons and people live side by side, but like other vermin, they can quickly duplicate in number and cause problems if they start to live in the wrong places.

If you have birds that are becoming problematic, then you may need the help of our Kensington bird control and pigeon proofing services.

One of the most common problems with birds and pigeons is their tendency to nest where they are not wanted. A bird's nest under a solar panel, in a gutter, down a chimney or in your attic can start to cause bigger problems, and so it is important to discourage birds from nesting there in the first place using bird control and pigeon proofing methods.

It’s important to remember that some birds are protected, so rest assured that our Kensington bird management team will properly assess the variety of bird they are dealing with before choosing the action to take, this ensures that protected birds are correctly managed.

Kensington Bed Bug Control

Sleep tight, don’t let the bed bugs bite. Bed bugs are another pest problem that many people do not know that they have until they get quite bad.

The only trusted way to diagnose a bed bug problem is by seeking professional help, which is where our Kensington bed bug control services come in.

Our team of bed bug experts in Kensington are experts at spotting bed bugs and eliminating them from your home.

Some of the signs that you may have a bed bug problem include blood spots on your bedding and bite marks on your skin but a quick assessment by our Kensington bed bug team will give you a diagnosis for sure.

Kensington Cockroach Control

Cockroaches, quite rightly, make most people's skin crawl, and the thought of them walking around their home is enough to make their stomach turn.

Cockroach infestations, even in Kensington, are more common than people think but don’t panic, our Kensington cockroach control team are ready and waiting to rid you of them.

Whatever type of cockroach infestation you have, and whether it be 2 cockroaches or 200 our Kensington cockroach control specialists are qualified to safely deal with the problem, even if it is hiding deep within your home.

Kensington Flea Control

Fleas can enter homes on dogs, cats and other pets, but believe it or not, you don’t even need to have a pet yourself to need flea control services in Kensington.

People can also transmit fleas from home to home, and on occasions, they can find their own way in from the backs of wild animals.

Fleas, like other small pests, can be difficult to spot unless you can catch one. A tale-tale sign that you could have fleas at home includes itchy bites around your ankle or sightings of small jumping critters.

The best way to diagnose a flea problem for sure is to call out our Kensington flea control team who will be able to do a close inspection and to advise you on the best way to treat the problem.

Recent Jobs in Kensington

Rodent survey of property in Kensington, W8 - January 2022

Pestforce Pest Control Kensington received a telephone call in the afternoon the other day from a local property owner in Kensington who had a rat problem in their semi-detached home. We provided the client some reassurance and booked them in for a rodent survey of their property for their earliest convenience. We discovered clear evidence of rat activity with fresh rat droppings found in the lounge area. To eradicate the rat problem we devised a unique 3 visit riddance programme combining non-toxic rat baits and rat traps. We have now ended our treatment and the rats have been effectively eradicated. The customer was over the moon for the great communication throughout of our Kensington rat control services.

Spiders in Kensington, W8 - 21st June 2021

Pestforce Pest Control Kensington carried out treatment for spiders in a home in Kesington last week. The client had a serious fear of spiders and wanted to call the professionals. We quickly identifed the target areas where lagre numbers of webs were congregated. We used an insectidal spray concentrating on the wal and floor junctions. The client was very pleased with our friendly and reassuring technician and the spiders appear to be gone.

Moth Treatment in Property in Kensington, W8 - 21st May 2021

Our inspection revelead moths on the monitoring stations. We carried out a insecticidal spray treatment of the wardrobe and carpets to treat the moth infestation.

Kensington Wasp Control - Multiple wasp nests in loft of house in Kensington, W8 - 14th April 2021

Pestforce Pest Control Kensington were called out by a family in Kensington after they had the fright of their life entering their loft space. The family had receently moved into the central Kensington area and rang us quite distressed reporting multiple wasp nests in their roof. We attended the same day and was quickly able to reassure the family that all 6 of the wasps nests found by our team were dormant or dead. No treatment was required and we were able to simply remove each of the nests for safe disposal. A simple job and a very happy customer. Many people are not aware that wasps do not return to the same nest each year and nests die at the end of wasp season and usually die at the first frost, any time between Sept - Nov.  We're not entering wasp season with the queens who have been in hibernation starting to create their nests for the season. You may start to see the first few worker wasps foraging.  Please give us a call if you believe you have a wasp nest developing in its early stages.

Squirrel Control under a bathtub in Kensington, W8 - 14th February 2020

We had an urgent request to attend a tenanted 5th floor flat by a letting agent on Saturday night.  The call out was following the tenants describing gnawing and scratching type noises under the bath tub.  We attended the same evening and waited for the tenant to come home.  While we were waiting we used the time to check the drainage inspection chamber serving the building for evidence of rats. Rats will often enter a building via the drains and then proceed into the fabric of the building, so by checking the drainage inspection chamber we can establish any evidence including smear marks, droppings, actual rats, blocked pipework, missing caps on interceptors etc.  On this occasion the drains were totally blocked, so we already thinking rats maybe the issue in this flat. When the petrified tenant arrived we entered the flat.  The tenant, who had a phobia of rats and mice actually hid in another room while we set to work carefully removing the panelling around the back of the toilet and the bath.  As we lifted the top off to our surprise we did not find evidence of rats or even mice.  We found a large adult grey squirrel looking up at us - the tenant was bizarrely relieved when we advised what we found!  We then carried out a detailed inspection of the area and found severely chewed electrical wiring and wooden materials which all explain the noises being heard by the tenants.  The squirrel had quickly disappeared, so we installed specialist traps designed to humanely manage any squirrels.  We have now removed 4 squirrels from the property and the pest issue is completely resolved.  The client has been advised to urgently get a suitably qualified electrican to repair any damaged electrical wiring due to the risk of arcing and potential fire risk.
