Pest Control Kensington

Tiled roofs from the 1920s to the 1950s develop broken tiles, lifted ridge capping and gaps where the roof meets the gutter. Kensington’s mature street trees and the canopy around the racecourse and parklands put branches within easy reach of those roofs.

In a walk-up block, German cockroaches move between flats through shared plumbing penetrations, laundry walls and wall cavities. If the neighbouring flat is untreated, activity can return to yours. Gel baiting works better than spraying here, because the bait moves back into harbourage points. A building-wide approach beats treating one unit repeatedly.

It depends on the property size, the pest and how established the problem is. A general treatment in a one-bedroom flat sits well below termite management on a freestanding bungalow. You get a firm price after the inspection and before any work starts.

For some treatments you may need to stay out of treated areas for a period after application. Your technician will explain the required re-entry time based on the products used and their label directions. Work in occupied flats is planned around this so you are not left waiting outside all day.

Older timber-framed homes can be affected, particularly where subfloor moisture or timber-to-soil contact creates favourable conditions. The interwar bungalows with enclosed subfloors are the ones worth watching. A termite inspection every year or two is sensible on an older freestanding home. It costs far less than repairing structural timber.

Yes. Cockroach and rodent problems in unit blocks usually need a building-wide approach rather than flat-by-flat work, and we can provide treatment records and scope documentation for the committee or the managing agent.
