Rat & Mice Control

London's Rodent Control Experts — Fast, Discreet & Fully Guaranteed

Rats and mice are among the most damaging and dangerous pests that can invade your home or business. If you’ve spotted signs of a rodent infestation, acting fast is absolutely essential. At Pescon Pest Control Services, we provide fast, effective, and discreet rodent control solutions across London — including Croydon, Wembley, Streatham, Dartford, Kingston, Richmond, Tooting, Putney, Hackney, Brixton, Ealing, Lewisham, Wandsworth, Hounslow, and Bromley.

Don’t wait for the problem to get worse — rodents breed rapidly and a small problem can become a full-scale infestation within weeks.

Why Rodents Are a Serious Threat

Rats and mice are not just unpleasant to encounter — they pose genuine risks to your health, your property, and your finances. Left untreated, a rodent infestation can cause:

  • Serious health risks — rats and mice carry dangerous diseases including Leptospirosis (Weil’s disease), Salmonella, Listeria, and Hantavirus, spread through droppings, urine, and direct contact
  • Structural damage — rodents gnaw constantly to keep their teeth sharp, chewing through wood, insulation, pipework, and plasterboard
  • Electrical fires — rats and mice frequently chew through electrical cables and wiring, creating a serious fire hazard
  • Food contamination — rodents contaminate food stores, preparation surfaces, and packaging with droppings, urine, and fur
  • Rapid breeding — a single pair of mice can produce up to 60 offspring per year, meaning infestations escalate quickly without professional intervention
  • Business consequences — a rodent sighting in a commercial premises can result in failed hygiene inspections, closure orders, and serious reputational damage

Benefits of Choosing Pescon for Rodent Control

Common Rodent Species in London

Brown Rat (Rattus norvegicus) The most common rat species in London. Brown rats are large, burrowing rodents that live in gardens, sewers, and under floorboards. They are strong swimmers and highly adaptable to urban environments.

Black Rat (Rattus rattus) Less common but still found across London, particularly in port areas and older buildings. Black rats are agile climbers and tend to nest in roof spaces and upper floors.

House Mouse (Mus musculus) The most common mouse species found in London homes and businesses. House mice are small, fast-breeding, and can squeeze through gaps as small as 5mm — making proofing essential.

Field Mouse (Apodemus sylvaticus) Also known as the wood mouse, field mice enter properties from gardens and surrounding greenery, particularly in autumn and winter when temperatures drop.

Signs You Have a Rodent Infestation

  • Droppings — dark, pellet-shaped, found along walls, in cupboards, or under sinks
  • Gnaw marks on food packaging, wood, cables, or pipework
  • Scratching or scurrying sounds in walls, ceilings, or under floors — particularly at night
  • Greasy smear marks along walls and skirting boards from rodent fur
  • Nesting materials such as shredded paper, fabric, or insulation in hidden areas
  • A strong, ammonia-like smell from urine
  • Burrows or holes in gardens, under decking, or along exterior walls
  • Footprints or tail marks in dusty or muddy areas

If you notice any of these signs, contact Pescon immediately for a fast response.


Our Rat & Mice Control Process

🐀 Step 1 — Thorough Survey & Inspection

Our certified technician visits your property and carries out a comprehensive survey — inside and out. We identify the rodent species, locate entry points, assess the scale of the infestation, and check for harbourage areas and nesting sites. A detailed report is provided along with our recommended treatment plan.

🐀 Step 2 — Targeted Treatment Programme

Based on our survey findings, we implement the most effective treatment strategy for your specific situation:

Rodent Baiting Tamper-resistant bait stations are strategically placed in affected areas, containing professional-grade rodenticide that eliminates rats and mice effectively and safely. Bait stations are checked and replenished on follow-up visits until the infestation is fully resolved.

Trapping In situations where rodenticide is not appropriate — such as in food preparation areas or properties with pets — we use a range of professional trapping systems to capture and remove rodents quickly and humanely.

Tracking Dusts Applied in roof spaces, wall voids, and other harbourage areas to confirm rodent activity and deliver treatment to areas that are difficult to access.

🐀 Step 3 — Proofing & Exclusion

Eliminating the existing infestation is only half the job. Our technician identifies and seals entry points using professional-grade materials including steel wool, wire mesh, expanding foam, and door brush strips — preventing rodents from re-entering your property.

🐀 Step 4 — Follow-Up Visits & Monitoring

We carry out scheduled follow-up visits to check bait stations, monitor activity, remove any deceased rodents, and confirm the infestation has been fully resolved. We don’t close the job until you’re completely pest-free.
