Local pest control for Croydon

Croydon is the largest borough we cover and the most varied. We work across central Croydon, Thornton Heath, South Croydon, Norbury, Addiscombe and the surrounding areas.

The borough throws up the full range. Central Croydon has a dense commercial core and a large stock of converted flats and high-rise blocks, which is where we see the most cockroach and bed bug work, and where problems rarely stay inside one unit. The Victorian terraces out towards Thornton Heath and South Croydon bring the rodent work, usually through old drainage and suspended floors.

Blocks of flats are the thing to understand here. Cockroaches and mice travel through service risers and shared voids, so treating one flat in isolation often achieves very little.

Does Croydon Council do pest control?

Croydon Council runs a chargeable pest control service, delivered in partnership with Southwark Council as its contractor. Council tenants may get some treatments free, but private tenants and owner-occupiers are charged for everything.

The council treats rats at residential properties and a range of other pests, with charges shown before you book. Bed bug and flea treatments require preparation beforehand or the appointment will not go ahead.

You are not obliged to use the council service, and quotes from other contractors are explicitly permitted. We will tell you honestly which route suits your situation.

Croydon questions

I live in a block of flats. Will treating my flat work?
Often not on its own. Cockroaches and mice move through risers and shared voids, so the block usually needs addressing. We will give you a written report to take to the freeholder or managing agent.
Do you cover Thornton Heath?
Yes. Thornton Heath is part of our regular Croydon coverage, along with Norbury and South Croydon.
How does the council service compare on price?
It varies by pest, and the council publishes its charges before you book. Comparison sites suggest the gap is widest on bed bugs, moths and fleas. Check the current figures rather than relying on any third-party table, including ours.
Can you provide documentation for a landlord dispute?
Yes. A written report setting out what we found, what we treated and what caused it is usually exactly what is needed.
