Mouse Control in Barbican

The Barbican is a single interconnected structure rather than a collection of buildings, and pests treat it that way. Service ducts, podium voids and underground car parks run continuously beneath the estate, so effective work here means coordinating with estate management rather than treating flats in isolation.
