Fly Control in Camden
30 minutes response · NW1, NW3, NW5, NW6, WC1, WC2, EC1
Camden's problem is water and food in close proximity. Regent's Canal runs the length of the borough, the market feeds thousands daily, and the Victorian terraces between them have been subdivided into flats for a century. Rodents move along the canal corridor and into buildings through original drain runs; further north, Hampstead Heath pushes squirrels and foxes into loft spaces and gardens.
