Pest Control Services in Highbury N5

Highbury, N5

Highbury lies north of Highbury Corner. N5 takes in Highbury Fields and the terraces around it, Highbury Barn's shops and restaurants, Highbury Hill, Highbury New Park, and the streets around the Emirates Stadium and Highbury Square, the old stadium turned into flats. Blackstock Road runs along its western side towards Finsbury Park, and its eastern edge crosses into Hackney.

Terraces and conversions

Most of Highbury is Victorian: tall terraces on Highbury New Park and Highbury Hill, many now split into flats with shared basements and gardens. Mice travel through party walls and floor voids from house to house, and a flat can have mice even when the one below appears clear. See mouse control.

Highbury Fields and the gardens

The Fields and the long gardens behind the terraces support squirrels, foxes and rats. Squirrels come in through the eaves of the tall houses, and rats burrow under decking and sheds. See squirrel control and rat control.

Match days and food shops

Takeaways, grocers and cafés along Blackstock Road and around the stadium deal with extra waste on match days, and with rats and cockroaches at bins and in storerooms all year. See cockroach control and restaurant pest control.

Questions people ask

We have mice but the flat downstairs says they do not. Why?

Mice often live in the voids between floors and walls and may only show themselves in one flat. In a Highbury conversion, the whole house is usually involved, so we ask to check the other flats and shared areas.

Do you cover Highbury Square and the flats near the Emirates?

Yes. They are in N5 and covered by this page. We work with residents and managing agents in the blocks around the stadium.

Squirrels are in our loft near Highbury Fields. Can you help?

Yes. We remove them and seal the entry points, which in tall Victorian houses are usually at the eaves, gutters and roof valleys. See squirrel control.
