Hampstead backs onto 800 acres of Heath, and that changes the pest profile completely. Squirrels in roof voids and foxes in gardens are the routine calls here rather than the rodent and cockroach work of central Camden. The large period houses have generous lofts with plenty of unsealed eaves access.
