HA4 is Ruislip and its neighbours: Ruislip village and its High Street, Ruislip Manor, South Ruislip, Ruislip Gardens and the edge of Eastcote. To the north lie Ruislip Woods, a national nature reserve, and the Lido; to the south, the A40 and the business parks around South Ruislip.

Metro-land homes

Much of Ruislip was built in the 1920s and 1930s as the Metropolitan line brought commuters out, so the typical home is a semi or short terrace with a loft, a garden and a garage. Lofts attract wasps and squirrels, garages and sheds attract mice and rats, and cavity walls give all of them a way in. See wasp control and mouse control.

Living next to the woods

Homes near Ruislip Woods and the Lido see more wildlife than most London streets: grey squirrels in roofs, foxes under decking, rabbits in gardens that border fields and golf courses, and rats near water. Badgers are protected by law, so if we find signs of a sett we tell you and leave it alone. See squirrel control, rabbit control and fox control.

Shops and businesses

The High Street, Victoria Road in Ruislip Manor and the units at South Ruislip need regular rodent and insect checks. See commercial pest control.

Nearby: Greenford and Northolt UB5 and UB6. See more Hillingdon neighbourhoods.

Questions people ask

Rabbits are digging up my garden near Ruislip Woods. Can you help?

Yes. We look at how they are getting in, advise on rabbit-proof fencing buried below ground level, and control the rabbits already living in the garden. See rabbit control.

Why do squirrels get into Ruislip lofts?

Grey squirrels look for dry, warm nesting spots, and houses beside mature trees are easy to reach from overhanging branches. Once inside they chew wiring and insulation. We remove them and seal the gaps at the eaves and fascia.

Do you cover South Ruislip and Ruislip Gardens?

Yes. Both are in HA4 and covered by this page, along with Ruislip Manor and the village.
