Mice & rats
Noises alone do not tell us which rodent is present. We check droppings, gnawing and accessible entry routes before choosing control positions.

The service, explained
From an unwelcome discovery
to a clear plan.
A pest problem can interrupt an ordinary day very quickly. You may find a chewed packet in the kitchen, an unfamiliar insect near the bed or repeated activity in a stockroom. When you call, we ask what happened, where you saw it and what has changed. You do not need to arrive with the correct pest name.
At the visit, we examine accessible signs and the places that could explain them. That may mean checking along pipework for rodent access, looking closely at an insect specimen or inspecting furniture seams. We separate what the evidence confirms from anything that still needs checking. An unclear finding can call for monitoring instead of an immediate application.
If treatment is appropriate, we explain the proposed method, the areas included and the precautions that go with it. Rodent work may involve traps or baiting in suitable positions; insect work depends on the species and where it is living. We also discuss practical changes that could reduce the chance of the problem returning, without presenting housekeeping as a substitute for pest control.
In Canning Town, a booking may involve a private flat, a shared building or business premises. Let us know who can open the relevant rooms and service areas. Before the visit ends, you should understand what has been done, what must be left undisturbed and what to watch for next. If another check is part of the plan, we explain its purpose rather than leaving you to guess whether the treatment has worked.
Choose a starting point
Different pests.
Different checks.
These guides help you explore the right service. A sign is a useful lead, not a diagnosis on its own.
Bed bugs
An insect, cast skin or spotting around a bed deserves a close look. The inspection establishes which sleeping and seating areas need attention.
Bed bug treatment ↗Cockroaches
Sightings around appliances or food storage help direct the search. Species and hiding places influence the treatment and subsequent checks.
Cockroach control ↗Wasps
Repeated flight into one opening is useful information. Safe access and the position of a confirmed nest determine whether treatment is practical.
Wasp control ↗Fleas & fabric pests
A damaged garment and a biting insect are different enquiries. We examine the affected material or specimen rather than treating every room alike.
Flea treatment ↗Unsure what it is?
Tell us where you noticed it and whether it has appeared again. A clear photograph can help the conversation, but does not replace an inspection.
Pest inspection ↗
Inside the appointment
You should know why
each step matters.
Show us the signs
Start with the room or item that prompted the call. Dates, photographs and previous treatment details can help us avoid working from an incomplete account.
Discuss the findings
We explain the likely source, accessible hiding places and any uncertainty. If something important is behind a locked door, it stays on the list of things not yet assessed.
Agree the work
The proposed control, preparation and follow-up should be clear before you proceed. The plan can change if inspection reveals a different pest or a wider affected area.
Working with the building
Canning Town is not one property type.
Newham’s regeneration programme brings new homes and neighbourhood facilities into Canning Town. That is a reason to ask about your actual building, not to assume its age, layout or pest problem from the postcode.
A home within a larger building
Give the flat number as well as the street address. Tell us if the signs are inside your rooms or in a shared corridor, bin area or service cupboard. Where another party controls access, arranging permission can be as important as choosing an appointment.
A business with people coming and going
For shops, food premises and other workplaces, explain where stock is stored and when the affected areas are occupied. The treatment discussion needs to account for staff, visitors and operations, rather than applying a domestic room plan to a working business.
Local context: Newham Council’s Canning Town and Custom House overview. Regeneration is not evidence of a pest infestation.
Know the starting point
A price for the work,

Before you book
Questions from a
Canning Town enquiry.
Useful details to settle before an inspection or treatment.
Can you inspect a flat without access to the communal cupboard?
We can discuss inspecting the areas you are authorised to open. If signs point towards a locked communal space, that limitation matters: the managing agent may need to arrange further access. We will not describe an inaccessible route as checked.
Should I book rodent control if I can only hear scratching?
Describe the sound, its location and when it happens. Scratching is not enough to identify an animal. The next step may be an inspection for physical signs, rather than committing to a particular treatment over the phone.
My shop and the flat upstairs have different owners. How does that affect a visit?
The booking should identify which premises are included and who can authorise entry. If the findings suggest a connection, we can explain what needs to be checked next. Access to the shop does not automatically give permission to inspect the flat.
Will I need to take my pet out during treatment?
Tell us about pets, children and any relevant household circumstances when arranging the visit. Precautions depend on the method and where it will be used. Follow the specific preparation and re-entry instructions supplied for your treatment; do not assume a single waiting time applies to every service.
Can a treatment go ahead while my premises are trading?
That depends on the pest, the method and the affected working areas. We need to know about food handling, customers and staff access before agreeing arrangements. Some work may require a space to be taken out of use temporarily.
What should I record if I see something after the visit?
Note the date, room and exact position, and take a photograph if you can do so safely. Tell us whether it is a new sighting or an old mark. This helps the follow-up discussion distinguish continuing activity from evidence left before treatment.
