Rat Control in Hammersmith and Fulham: what we see locally
Hammersmith and Fulham wraps around a long loop of the Thames, from Chelsea Harbour and Fulham Palace up past Hammersmith Bridge to Chiswick Mall. The river, its embankments and the old drains under the borough's Victorian terraces give brown rats plenty of places to live.
Basement extensions are common in Fulham and Brook Green, and building work often disturbs or disconnects old drains, letting rats into kitchens and lower-ground floors. Busy streets such as King Street, Fulham Road, North End Road and Shepherd's Bush Market add a constant food supply. We inspect drains, basements and gardens to find the real entry point.
Where we find rats in Hammersmith and Fulham
- Riverside homes in Fulham and Hammersmith: Rats move along the Thames embankment into nearby gardens and basements.
- Houses with new basement extensions: Disturbed drains are a common way in after building work.
- Around Shepherd's Bush Market and North End Road: Market and restaurant waste draws rats in.
- Homes near Wormwood Scrubs: The large open space supports rats that move into nearby streets.
Our rat control service covers the whole of Hammersmith and Fulham, including Brook Green, Fulham, Hammersmith, Parsons Green, Sands End, Shepherd's Bush and White City, with same-day or next-day visits.
Keeping rats out of Hammersmith and Fulham homes
If you've had building work, check that old drain runs were properly capped. Keep inspection chamber covers and air-brick grilles intact. Don't leave bin bags out overnight on the pavement or in front basement areas, and if your garden backs onto the river, keep the ground under decking and sheds clear.
