Rat Control in Haringey: what we see locally
Haringey stretches from the hilltop villages of Highgate, Muswell Hill and Crouch End down to Tottenham Marshes and the River Lea. The Lea, the New River, the Parkland Walk and big green spaces such as Alexandra Park, Finsbury Park and Lordship Recreation Ground give brown rats plenty of cover.
In the borough's Victorian and Edwardian terraces, including the long grid of streets known as the Harringay Ladder, rats usually get in through old clay drains that have cracked or been disturbed by building work. The restaurants and grocers of Green Lanes, Tottenham High Road and Wood Green add to the food supply. We inspect drains and gardens so the treatment tackles the source.
Where we find rats in Haringey
- Homes near Tottenham Marshes and the Lea: Rats move from the river and marshes into nearby gardens in Tottenham and Tottenham Hale.
- Terraces on the Harringay Ladder: Old shared drains behind long terraces let rats move between houses.
- Restaurants on Green Lanes: Food waste from Harringay's busy restaurant strip draws rats in.
- Gardens along the Parkland Walk: The old railway line gives rats a green corridor through Crouch End and Stroud Green.
Our rat control service covers the whole of Haringey (N4, N6, N8, N10, N15, N17 and N22), including Bounds Green, Crouch End, Harringay, Highgate, Hornsey, Muswell Hill, Noel Park, Seven Sisters, Stroud Green, Tottenham and Wood Green, with same-day or next-day visits.
Keeping rats out of Haringey homes
Check that your inspection chamber cover and air-brick grilles are intact. On streets near Green Lanes and the High Road, don't put bin bags out overnight. If your garden backs onto the Parkland Walk, a park or the river, keep compost sealed and the ground under sheds and decking clear.
