Local knowledge
Pests and properties in Hammersmith
Hammersmith is the administrative centre of its borough and a major commercial hub, so homes here sit close to offices, theatres and a busy food trade. The Broadway gathers two tube stations and a bus station beside the A4 flyover; the Lyric, the Apollo and Riverside Studios draw evening crowds, and Charing Cross Hospital is a large site of its own. Where flats share buildings, ducts and voids with shops and offices, mice move between homes and businesses without being seen. Commercial kitchens, warm, damp and full of food, are where cockroaches settle, while rats work the river edge and the bins behind restaurants and pubs.
What to expect from every visit
- Discreet unmarked vehicles and plain workwear
- No emergency call-out charges
- Treatments safe around children and pets

What Hammersmith and Fulham Council does about pests in Hammersmith
Hammersmith and Fulham Council keeps its own pest control team, which it describes as based near Ravenscourt Park, and it treats private homes for a fee. Council tenants do not pay for most treatments; fleas, moths and carpet beetles are the exceptions.
- Bed bugs: the council's prices page lists £312 for two visits covering two bedrooms, plus £26 per extra room.
- Cockroaches: a third-party table of council charges, updated in July 2026, puts the council's fee at £208.
- Rats and mice: the published figures conflict, so check the council's prices page before relying on any number.
For a restaurant, pub or office, the questions are timing and paperwork as much as price. A kitchen that cannot close needs visits before opening or between services, which a private contractor can plan around trading hours. Council tenants with a problem in their own home should use the free service first.
Our guide to council pest control in London sets out what each borough in our area offers in 2026.
Why Hammersmith gets mice, rats and cockroaches
Across Hammersmith and Fulham, the council reported 5,382 rat infestations between 2023 and mid-2025, according to freedom of information figures published in August 2025. Those are council reports, and 13 boroughs gave no data, so treat comparisons with care.
In Hammersmith the rats follow food: bins behind restaurants and pubs on and near the riverside, waste from offices around the Broadway, and the cover of the river wall and gardens.
Cockroaches need warmth and moisture as much as food, which is why they settle behind ovens, dishwashers and in the service ducts of commercial kitchens, then spread to neighbouring units through the same ducts.
Mice are the domestic problem. Where flats sit above or beside commercial premises, they share risers, voids and pipe runs with the businesses, so mice cross between them freely.

Hammersmith FAQ
Pest control in Hammersmith: common questions
Can you treat a Hammersmith restaurant without closing it?+
In most cases, yes. We visit before opening or between services, Monday to Saturday, start with a free site survey and use targeted gel baits and monitoring that let service carry on. If an inspector has already visited, we plan the work around their findings.
What does Hammersmith and Fulham Council charge for cockroaches?+
A third-party table of council charges, updated in July 2026, lists Hammersmith and Fulham's cockroach fee as £208, and council tenants do not pay for most treatments. Confirm the current figure on the council's prices page before you book, and compare it with a fixed quote after our free survey.
Why do mice in my Hammersmith flat come back after treatment?+
Usually because they are coming from somewhere else in the building: a shop or kitchen below, a shared riser or a neighbouring flat. We look beyond your front door, seal the gaps on your side and tell you plainly if the managing agent or a business downstairs needs to act.
How can a pub keep rats away from its bins?+
Keep bins lidded and on hard standing, put food waste out on collection day rather than the night before, and seal gaps under back doors and around pipe entries. Rats tend to use the same route each night, so a survey of the yard, cellar and drains usually shows where to proof.
