Mouse Control in City of London
25 minutes response · EC1, EC2, EC3, EC4
The Square Mile is built on layers — medieval cellars beneath Victorian foundations beneath modern towers — and pests use every one of them. Smithfield's meat trade and the bar and restaurant strip around Liverpool Street and Farringdon generate the food waste; the older infrastructure underneath provides the harbourage. Nearly all our work here happens outside trading hours, fully documented for EHO inspection.
