Mouse Control in Balham
40 minutes response · SW12
Balham is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, most of them split into upper and lower conversions. The split is the problem: a lower-ground flat with a garden and an upper flat with loft access give a rodent or squirrel two separate ways in, and neither tenant sees the whole picture. Bedford Hill adds the food-premises work.
