Pest Control Services in Monument and Tower Hill EC3

Pest control in Monument and Tower Hill, EC3

EC3 covers the eastern side of the City. It takes in the Monument and Pudding Lane, Eastcheap, the insurance quarter around Lloyd's, Leadenhall and St Mary Axe, and Aldgate and Tower Hill on the edge of Tower Hamlets. The pest problems change from one corner of the district to the next.

Leadenhall and Lime Street

Leadenhall Market is a Victorian covered market, now lined with restaurants, bars and shops, surrounded by modern office towers. Food trade in old buildings with cellars means rats and cockroaches need watching all year. In the towers, mice travel through the service cores and ceiling voids from floor to floor.

Eastcheap and the Monument

The lanes running down from Eastcheap towards Lower Thames Street are a mix of offices, pubs and small restaurants in tall, narrow buildings. Rats reach the basements from the river side and the old drains, and mice move between buildings that share party walls. Waste left in the lanes overnight makes both worse.

Tower Hill and Aldgate

Around Tower Hill and Aldgate there are hotels, serviced apartments and the busy approaches to Fenchurch Street and Tower Gateway. Hotels bring the risk of bed bugs arriving in guests' luggage, and pigeons settle on the ledges and canopies near the stations. See our page on hotel pest control.

Questions people ask

Do you work with restaurants in Leadenhall Market?

Yes. Old market buildings with cellars and shared drains need regular checks for rats, mice and cockroaches. We survey the unit, treat, proof what we can reach, and keep a record of every visit for your food safety file.

Can you deal with bed bugs in a hotel near Tower Hill?

Yes. We inspect the affected room and the rooms either side, above and below, treat what we find, and advise housekeeping on what to look for so a case is caught early next time.

Why are mice common in modern office towers in EC3?

Towers have continuous voids under floors and above ceilings, and service cores that link every floor. Mice use them to move around the building, so proofing the cores matters as much as treating the floor where they were seen.
