Residential Pest Control in London

Inoculand provides residential pest control for homes, flats, landlords, tenants and estate agents across London.

We help identify the pest, assess the level of activity, carry out appropriate treatment and advise on practical steps to reduce the risk of the problem returning. Our team works carefully inside occupied homes, with clear advice on preparation, access, safety and aftercare.

We regularly deal with mice, rats, bed bugs, moths, carpet beetles, cockroaches, fleas, wasps and other common household pests in London homes.

Mice control in London

Mice are one of the most common residential pest problems in London. They can live behind kitchen units, under floors, inside wall voids and around service routes where pipes and cables enter the property.

Our mice control service focuses on reducing current activity first. We use appropriate monitoring, baiting or trapping methods depending on the property, then advise on likely access points and proofing options where required.

In many London homes, long-term mouse control depends on proofing as well as treatment. Terraced houses, converted flats and blocks of flats often share hidden routes that allow mice to move between properties.

Rat control and drains

Rats are a serious pest problem in London homes, especially where drainage defects, broken pipework, open gullies or structural gaps allow them to enter the building.

Our rat control service starts with an assessment of activity, access points and likely harbourage. Where drainage is suspected, we may recommend further investigation, such as drain inspection, CCTV survey or a non-return valve where suitable.

Rat treatment and proofing are separate parts of the process. Treatment helps bring current activity under control, while proofing and drainage recommendations help reduce the risk of rats returning.

Rodent proofing service

Removing rodents is only part of the process. In many London properties, mice and rats return because they can still access the building through gaps around pipes, air bricks, service routes, floor voids, doors, walls or damaged building fabric.

Our rodent proofing service involves inspecting likely access points and closing them with suitable materials where access allows. This can reduce the risk of future rodent entry and support longer-term control.

Proofing is a practical, process-based service rather than a promise that rodents can never enter again. The result depends on the building structure, neighbouring properties, drainage, future building works and whether proofed areas remain undisturbed.

Clothes moths and carpet beetles

Clothes moths and carpet beetles can damage clothing, carpets, rugs, blankets and soft furnishings. In many cases, the first visible signs are holes in fabrics, shed skins, larvae or damage in quiet, undisturbed areas.

Treatment may involve targeted insecticide application, monitoring, cleaning advice and, in some cases, heat treatment for affected items. The best approach depends on the level of activity, the affected materials and the layout of the property.

Bed bug treatment

Bed bugs can cause stress, sleep disruption and uncomfortable bites. They often hide close to beds, sofas, skirting boards, sockets, furniture joints and other small cracks near resting areas.

We offer several bed bug treatment options, including chemical treatment, steam and chemical treatment, heat tent treatment for selected items, and full heat treatment where appropriate.

The right treatment depends on the property, the level of activity, the rooms affected and how quickly the space needs to be returned to use. We will advise on preparation, treatment options and follow-up where required.

Heat treatment and heat tents

Heat treatment can be a useful option for bed bugs, moths, carpet beetles and other insects when the affected area or items can be heated safely and evenly. It is often used alongside other treatment methods to improve coverage and reduce reliance on insecticides alone.

For room heat treatments, we use professional heating equipment and temperature monitoring to raise the affected space to the required treatment range. Where needed, we may combine heat with residual insecticide treatment in colder spots, cracks, edges or areas that are harder to heat evenly.

For smaller items such as clothing, bedding, soft furnishings or belongings, heat tents can provide a more targeted option. Items are placed inside the tent and treated under controlled conditions.

Heat treatment is not suitable for every situation, and preparation is important. We will advise on what needs to be removed, protected or repositioned before treatment begins.
