Pest Control in Hounslow

Hounslow Council has its own pest team, working from the Bridge Road Depot on Pears Road, and it treats private homes for a fixed fee. For work booked on or after 1 April 2026, Hounslow charges £155 for rats in the garden, £180 for rats indoors and £180 for mice, each covering up to three visits within a 35-day window. Hounslow's bed bug price is £300 for two visits to up to two rooms, plus £75 for each extra room.

There is no longer any reduction for residents on low incomes or benefits, payment is taken by card when you book, and an aborted visit is charged. HMOs and businesses do not get the fixed price at all: Hounslow bills them at its commercial rate of £91.67 an hour plus VAT.

The service was suspended during a staffing shortage and restarted in the week beginning 6 October 2025, so check Hounslow Council's pest control page for current booking details. If you can wait for the council's programme, its prices are clear. If you run an HMO or a hotel, or want someone this week, a private firm is usually the quicker route. Our London council pest control guide compares the neighbouring boroughs.

Heathrow puts Hounslow on the route of a great deal of luggage. Hotels, rooms let by the night and shared houses all have frequent turnover, and bed bugs move in suitcases, bags and second-hand furniture rather than through the street. Left alone, they spread from room to room. Our bed bug treatment page describes what a treatment involves.

In a row of semis or terraces, the shared walls, lofts and underfloor voids act as corridors for mice, so a problem next door often becomes yours once the nights get colder.

Hounslow Heath and the gardens near open land give rats cover, and compost, bird feed and overflowing bins give them food. The borough logged 991 council rat reports between 2023 and mid-2025, according to freedom of information figures published in August 2025, far fewer than Camden's 9,133. Councils count reports differently and 13 London boroughs sent no figures, so treat the comparison as a rough guide. See our rat control service for how we deal with a garden run.

We cover TW3, TW4 and TW5: the town centre, Lampton, Hounslow West, Hounslow Heath, Heston and Cranford, and the hotels and businesses towards Heathrow. Next door, our Isleworth page covers the same council from the riverside end of the borough.

Every job starts with a free inspection survey. For a hotel or an HMO, the technician checks the reported rooms and the ones either side, then gives a fixed written quote for the rooms that need treating. We visit Monday to Saturday from 8am to 7pm, frequently the day you call, and take Sunday emergency calls only.

Hotel, HMO and household treatments in Hounslow all carry a written six-month guarantee, subject to the site survey. Technicians working across TW3 to TW5 hold the RSPH Level 2 Award and are DBS checked. Book a Hounslow visit on our contact page or call 020 3411 2329.
