Wandsworth has changed faster than almost any London borough, and its pest problems have changed with it. The Nine Elms and Battersea Power Station developments put thousands of new flats on former industrial land next to the river, while the Victorian terraces of Balham, Tooting and Putney carry the older pattern of loft wasps, garden rodents and shared drainage between converted flats.
