Cockroach Control in Paddington
25 minutes response · W2
Paddington puts a mainline station, a canal basin and a dense hotel strip within a few hundred metres, and each contributes. The canal gives rodents a continuous route through the area; the station and hotels supply constant food waste and a steady turnover of luggage, which is how bed bugs arrive. The converted terraces off Sussex Gardens carry both problems indoors.
