Why Lewisham Has One of South London's Toughest Pest Problems

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.

<h3>Rats from the rivers, or pests in your home?</h3>

Rats from the rivers, or pests in your home?

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.

Pest problem in a Deptford or New Cross venue?

From the bars, restaurants and market stalls of Deptford and New Cross to the food businesses of Lewisham, Catford and Forest Hill, the borough's premises sit close to the rivers and old drainage that bring rats and mice in. An Environmental Health Officer will expect to see a professional contract and a clear record. We treat discreetly, around your trading hours, and provide a digital report after every visit.

Pests spreading through a Lewisham let?

From the student and converted housing of New Cross, Deptford and Brockley to the flats and estates across Catford and Lewisham, the borough's lets and house shares are how mice, cockroaches and bedbugs spread between adjoining units. Landlords, letting agents and managing agents rely on us for fast treatment, direct tenant liaison and a full report after every visit for their records.

<h3>Pigeons on your Lewisham building?</h3>

Pigeons on your Lewisham building?

Pigeons roost and nest across Lewisham and Catford town centres, the Deptford and New Cross railway viaducts, the estate blocks, and the older parades of Forest Hill and Sydenham, fouling roofs, balconies and guttering and damaging the building over time. The Pied Piper installs netting, spikes and proofing tailored to the property, fitted by our dedicated bird team.

Pest control Lewisham frequently asked questions.

Why are there so many pests in the London Borough of Lewisham?

Lewisham 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.

How quickly can you get to my property in Lewisham?

We can usually get a technician to you the same day, often within a few hours of your call. We cover all the Lewisham postcodes, so response times across Catford, Deptford, New Cross, Sydenham and Forest Hill are fast.

Which areas of Lewisham do you cover?

All of them, including Deptford and New Cross (SE8 and SE14), Brockley and Crofton Park (SE4), Lewisham and Ladywell (SE13), Catford and Bellingham (SE6), Forest Hill and Honor Oak (SE23), Sydenham (SE26) and Blackheath, Lee and Grove Park (SE3, SE12 and SE13).

Do you offer commercial pest control in Deptford and Lewisham town centre?

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.

What are the main pests you deal with in Lewisham?

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.

Will I need more than one treatment to get rid of my pest problem?

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.

Does Lewisham Council offer pest control for private residents and businesses?

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.

Do rats come from the Ravensbourne and the borough's other rivers?

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.

I let student housing near Goldsmiths. How do you handle shared homes?

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.

Will pest control treatment in my Lewisham restaurant affect our EHO rating?

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.

Amazing Service! 5 Star! The issue I had, I thought it could never be resolved. After having a previous Pest Control company treat it and a few months later the pests tripled! I contacted The Pied Piper Pest Control and they took the problem into their hands made me feel so relieved as they assured me they would not stop treating until the problem was completely solved. This is the type of service you don’t always come across. As promised, they visited my premises until the pests were completely clear. Thank you to Tony and to his great team! I would definitely recommend to everyone. Great service.

Currently using them for a pest control contract as our last company let us down badly. Spend the time doing the job properly and turning up on time and when they say they will. Can't ask for much more than that

CONSISTENTLY EXCELLENT I have been working with this company since 2008 across six of my restaurants and I have to say I haven’t had one bad experience. I don’t normally write reviews but I really felt like I owed these guys as I believe they deserve all the recognition. They have been consistently good, any issues I had in any of the restaurants, they were there and never left until the issue was resolved. Thank you so much guys..

I own a property in London that has had an ongoing issue with Bedbugs. We have had other pest control treatments in the past and none have worked. I called the Pied Piper late on Friday afternoon and was given a price on the spot with an information sheet for how my tenants needed to prepare the property. We were advised that it would take 3 treatments as the infestation was really bad. We have now had all the 3 treatments and 8 weeks on we are still clear. Fantastic service at a great price. From the ladies who answer the phone to the technician who carried out the treatment the service was second to none.

Had a program of treatments done recently for a mouse problem we had in our house. They were on time and very thorough. The problem was all gone in two visits but they still came for the third and made sure all was ok. Very professional

We got our lives back!! We had an infestation of bed bugs under my sons new bed. We just could not get rid of them. We called around and were quoted prices in the thousands.... We called Pied piper in - they were fantastic. In total they made 3 visits over a few weeks. Their time keeping was exceptional. Their service was professional and kept us informed of progress after each visit. Thank you Pied Piper. We can sleep easy again.

I have experienced many different pest control firms in the last 10years for a number of different properties & after much disappointment this last year in particular with the lack of detail on required proofing, I researched a number of firms & came across The Pied Piper who I have been extremely impressed with i.e., their fast responses/replies, their frankness & their attention to detail - example; photos of holes/gaps that need proofing & materials to use & guidance on how best to do the proofing to achieve the best end result.

We have a stream nearby and we're mortified to see rats in our garden which we believed was the source. I would strongly recommend this company for their efficient professional and prompt service. Highly competitive in their charges and thorough in their service keeping you informed throughout. I found them reassuring and helpful at a very worrying time. My neighbours were impressed and have used them also and they too are happy and recommending their service to others.

Had an issue with mice/rat under the floorboard on the ground floor. Tony came out and put rat poison and a camera to see what we were dealing with. We have eventually irradicated the problem thanks to his many years of experience and knowledge of the issues in hand. Service A+ Pricing A+ Professional and I can highly recommend their service that they provide.

This is my second time of dealing with The Pied Piper but for a different pest issue. Their team of technicians/specialists go above and beyond in pest control and dare I say, in my opinion, they are heroes. Knowing that I am totally and unreasonably paranoid regarding pests (bed bugs, rats and other creepy crawlies, you name them...), their expertise in challenging any pest related issues is so reassuring. What sets them apart is their unwavering commitment to their clients, their work dedication and integrity, no matter how small or big is the job. They won't rest until they have identified and eradicated the pest problem. I always recommend them without hesitation because I trust them implicitly. They arrive on time; they respect you and your property and they always tell you what they are doing and why. And they get results. Note: My review is based on my personal experience and reflects my genuine appreciation for the outstanding services I received from The Pied Piper team. This is my second review of them and my views have not changed.
