KENSINGTON · PEST CONTROL
Pest Control Kensington
A mouse behind a fitted kitchen may have entered from a service route outside the flat. Our Kensington inspection records the signs inside, checks authorised connections and separates immediate control from building work that belongs to a manager.
- Evidence mapped before devices are placed
- Shared access recorded without guessing
- Proofing proposed after route review
LOCAL CONTEXT
Control within a managed building
Kensington includes period houses, mansion blocks and managed apartments. That mix matters only because a riser, basement or communal store may sit outside the occupier’s authority. The visit begins inside the reporting home and widens only when evidence justifies access.
What the inspection needs to establish
Behind the affected kitchen units Heating and water pipe penetrations Authorised risers beside the flat Lower service rooms linked to the stack
- Behind the affected kitchen units
- Heating and water pipe penetrations
Prepare the relevant access
Photograph droppings before cleaning, clear the sink cupboard and ask management for relevant service keys. Do not fill a pipe gap while movement continues.
Can work start without riser access?
Yes, but conclusions remain limited if signs lead towards it.
When the response should move faster
Request prompt Kensington advice if a rodent enters a bedroom or gnawing reaches electrical cabling.
Follow the service line

Control matched to the evidence
Mice
Fresh droppings and travel edges determine trap or monitor placement; closure waits until the route is understood.
Bed bugs
Beds and adjacent furniture are inspected for physical evidence before rooms are prepared.
Moths
Larvae and damaged natural fibres identify the source more reliably than a flying adult.

Questions before booking
Should kitchen kickboards be removed beforehand?
Leave them in place unless safe access has already been agreed.
Can old droppings show the current route?
They provide context, but fresh dated evidence carries more weight.
Will another flat be treated automatically?
No; that home needs its own evidence and authority.
What proves that proofing can begin?
Inactive monitors and no fresh signs support the next stage.
