What we treat in Earl's Court
In Earl's Court most calls are bed bugs in hotels, boarding houses, short lets and shared flats, with mice and cockroaches in the converted houses around them. We work from the boutique hotels on Trebovir Road and Templeton Place to the Courtfield mansion blocks and the Philbeach terraces, and on into West Brompton and West Kensington.
Bed bugs
High-temperature dry steam followed by a residual spray.
Mice
Trapping and entry-point sealing, usually over two visits.
Cockroaches
Gel bait and residual programme over planned revisits.
Rats
Removal plus proofing of the route they use to get in.
Wasps & hornets
Nests treated at source, usually the same day.
Fleas
Residual treatment that breaks the breeding cycle.
Moths
Clothes and pantry moth larvae treated at the source.
Ants
Gel baiting that takes out the colony, not just the trail.

Local knowledge
Pests and properties in Earl's Court
Earl's Court was built as mid-Victorian Italianate terraces, Philbeach among them, followed by red-brick terraces and mansion blocks around Courtfield between 1870 and 1900. Many of the large houses were later split into flats and boarding houses, and the homes around Warwick Road and Pembroke Place have been recorded as overcrowded and multi-occupied. People have always moved through quickly: in 1991 the area's annual population turnover was put at 30%. Add the boutique hotels and you have what bed bugs exploit, with luggage arriving daily, beds changing hands, and shared walls and wiring runs to travel along. Mice and cockroaches use the same shared kitchens and voids.

What the Royal Borough charges for bed bugs in Earl's Court
Kensington and Chelsea Council does treat private homes in Earl's Court, at a price, and its bed bug fee is the one to read closely if you manage a building with many rooms. These are its charges as updated on 9 July 2026:
- Bed bugs: £428.30 at the council for two visits covering up to two rooms, then £53.90 for every additional room.
- Cockroaches: the council charges £280.80 for two visits.
- Rats or mice: four visits cost £258.80 from the council, in up to five rooms.
- Missed appointments: the council bills £53.10 when it cannot get in.
Council tenants pay nothing for bed bugs, cockroaches, or rats and mice inside their building.
In a boarding house or a converted house where several rooms are affected, those per-room additions build up, and a single survey of the whole building is often the clearer way to see the full job.
Check the council's treatments and charges page for the full list, and our council pest control guide for neighbouring boroughs.
Why Earl's Court gets bed bugs, mice and cockroaches
Bed bugs ride in luggage, on public transport and in second-hand furniture and clothing, and they spread most readily where housing is dense and residents change often. Earl's Court has every one of those conditions: District and Piccadilly line connections, hotels and boarding houses, and divided houses where one room's problem reaches the next through party walls and sockets.
The wider figures point the same way. London councils visited 8,864 homes for bed bugs in 2023, a fifth more than the year before, and one London borough reported 155 infestations in the first half of 2026, 40% up on the same months of 2025.
Mice and cockroaches use the building fabric too. In multi-occupied houses, shared kitchens, boxed-in pipe runs and underfloor voids connect the units, so treating one flat while the rest of the building is left alone rarely lasts.

Getting pest control in Earl's Court
We cover all of SW5 and the West Brompton and West Kensington edges, including the streets around Brompton Cemetery and the former exhibition centre site.
Every job begins with a free inspection survey to confirm the pest and how far it has spread; for bed bugs that means checking the rooms either side as well. You then get a fixed quote in writing. We can often attend an SW5 address the same day, Monday to Saturday between 8am and 7pm, and take Sunday calls for emergencies only. Hotels and landlords receive the same written six-month guarantee as householders, subject to survey.
If you run a boarding house or a multi-let building, ask for several rooms to be surveyed on one visit, which shows how far an infestation has travelled.
Book through our contact page; for neighbouring streets see Chelsea and Fulham.

Earl's Court FAQ
Pest control in Earl's Court: common questions
Does the council treat bed bugs in Earl's Court?+
Yes. Kensington and Chelsea Council charges £428.30 for two visits in up to two rooms, plus £53.90 per extra room, under charges updated 9 July 2026, and treats its own tenants free. Where many rooms are affected, compare that per-room cost with a quote after a free private survey.
Can you treat an Earl's Court hotel room between guests?+
Usually, yes. We inspect the affected room and those either side, treat with the room kept clear for the time on the product label, and plan any follow-up visit around bookings. Neighbouring rooms often need checking because bed bugs move along shared walls and wiring.
Why do mice keep returning to my Earl's Court flat?+
Most Earl's Court flats are in divided Victorian houses or red-brick mansion blocks, where floor voids and pipe runs are shared. Mice cleared from one flat come back from another unless the gaps are sealed. We trace the route through the building and tell you if the managing agent needs to treat the common parts.
Are cockroaches a problem in shared kitchens?+
They can be. Cockroaches need warmth, moisture and food, and a shared kitchen in a boarding house or flat share often has all three, plus gaps behind units and around pipes. We confirm the species first, then place gel bait where they harbour and advise on cleaning and proofing.
