Pest Control Services in Manor Park E12

Pest control in Manor Park, E12

Manor Park grew up around its station in the late Victorian and Edwardian years, and most of E12 is still streets of two-storey terraces from that time. Romford Road and the northern end of High Street North carry the shops, with Little Ilford to the east and the Aldersbrook estate to the north. Large areas of green space sit on the district's edge: Wanstead Flats, and the City of London Cemetery on Aldersbrook Road.

Green edges, busy gardens

Houses that back onto open land get more visits from wildlife. In the streets near the open land and the cemetery we are called about:

• Rats burrowing beneath sheds, decking and compost bins, and using broken drains to reach kitchens and extensions

• Foxes denning beneath outbuildings and digging up lawns; the work starts with finding and proofing the den

• Squirrels in roof spaces, reached from overhanging trees

Inside the terraces

Edwardian terraces often share a continuous roof space and have gaps under the floors, so mice move along a row from house to house. Kitchen extensions added later often leave gaps where the new wall meets the old. We find those gaps and seal them after treatment.

Shops and food businesses

The grocers, restaurants, sweet shops and takeaways on Romford Road and High Street North handle a lot of food in older buildings, and cockroaches and mice are the usual problems. Regular visits with a written record keep on top of them.
