Mouse Control in Soho
20 minutes response · W1D, W1F
Soho has more kitchens per acre than anywhere in Britain, nearly all of them working out of cramped basements with waste stored at street level overnight. That combination — food below ground, refuse on the pavement, buildings sharing party walls — makes it the hardest square mile in London for rodent and cockroach control, and the reason almost all our Soho work happens between closing and opening.
