Same-day pest control across SE13

More rivers run through Lewisham than almost any London borough. The Ravensbourne, the Quaggy, the Pool River and Deptford Creek all converge on Lewisham and Catford before reaching the Thames at Deptford, and those watercourses give rats established territory and routes into homes and businesses right across the borough. On top of that, Lewisham splits three ways. The gentrifying inner north, Deptford, New Cross, Brockley and Telegraph Hill, is dense student and converted-flat housing with a busy market and nightlife scene, where mice, cockroaches and bedbugs move between adjoining homes and food premises. The town-centre core at Lewisham and Catford is under heavy regeneration, and the leafier south, Forest Hill, Sydenham and Grove Park, backs onto parks and green space that bring squirrels and rats into gardens and lofts. The Pied Piper has been treating the whole borough since 1992. Call 0800 999 3999.
With the Ravensbourne, Quaggy and Pool River running through the borough, rats have established routes into homes across Catford, Lewisham and Deptford, while the converted flats of Brockley and New Cross and the suburban homes of Forest Hill and Sydenham give mice, squirrels and cockroaches plenty of ways in. The Pied Piper can usually get a technician to you the same day, with treatments safe around children and pets.

The Pied Piper installs netting, spikes and proofing tailored to the property, fitted by our dedicated bird team.
Solve My Pigeon ProblemLewisham has more rivers than almost any London borough, with the Ravensbourne, Quaggy, Pool River and Deptford Creek converging on Lewisham and Catford, and those watercourses give rats established routes into homes and businesses. The dense student and converted housing of Deptford, New Cross and Brockley lets mice, cockroaches and bedbugs spread, and the leafy south around Forest Hill and Sydenham brings squirrels and rats from the parks.

Yes. We cover the bars, restaurants and market stalls of Deptford and New Cross, and the food businesses of Lewisham, Catford and Forest Hill. We work discreetly, around your trading hours, and provide a digital report after every visit for your records and your EHO inspector.
Rats are the most common, driven by the borough’s four rivers and old drainage, with mice, cockroaches and bedbugs in the dense inner-north housing and food premises, and squirrels and wasps in the suburban south near the parks. We also treat pigeons, fleas and ants across homes and businesses.
Often, yes. Rats, mice, cockroaches and bedbugs usually need repeat visits to bring fully under control — a couple for a straightforward job, more for a severe infestation, or a maintenance contract for ongoing cover. We’ll tell you honestly what your situation needs.
Lewisham Council provides a limited pest service for residents, but waiting times can be long and it does not cover commercial premises. If you need a fast response, treatment of a pest the council does not cover, or a written report for your records, you will need a private pest control company. We have served Lewisham since 1992 and respond the same day in most cases.
Yes. The Ravensbourne, the Quaggy, the Pool River and Deptford Creek run through Lewisham and give rats established waterside territory and routes into the gardens, homes and businesses along them, especially around Lewisham and Catford where they converge. We find the entry points, treat, and proof against return.
The student and converted housing around New Cross, Deptford and Brockley shares walls, voids and pipework, so pests move quickly between rooms and adjoining properties. We treat the affected units and shared areas together, liaise with tenants to arrange access, and give landlords and letting agents a full report after every visit.
Having a professional pest control contract in place is something your Environmental Health Officer will expect to see. We provide a digital report after every visit, proofing recommendations, and a contract document you can show at inspection. Acting fast on a pest sighting and keeping a clear paper trail protects your rating, not the other way round.
