Pest Control in Islington
Islington’s Georgian and early-Victorian terraces in Canonbury, Barnsbury and Highbury are beautiful, and mice love them: shared walls, basements, lightwells and old voids give rodents easy routes from house to house. Meanwhile the restaurants and bars along Upper Street and around Angel need pest control that works around service.
Diamond Pest Control covers the whole borough with a 100% electric fleet of unmarked vans. We’re open 24/7 and your call will always be answered, evenings and weekends included.

For homes, landlords and businesses
Homes
We survey the whole property, including basements and lofts, treat the problem and proof the gaps. Our treatments come with a guarantee. See residential pest control.
Landlords and letting agents
Many Islington terraces are now flats. Where mice come through common parts, the freeholder or managing agent usually needs to be involved,, or the problem keeps coming back.
Businesses
For restaurants, bars and cafés on Upper Street and around Angel, our unmarked, fully electric vans can pull up outside a busy Upper Street restaurant without drawing attention. We also offer monitoring contracts, and deal with drain-related rat problems. See commercial pest control.

Who pays for pest control in a rented flat in Islington?
It depends on the tenancy and the cause. Where pests get in through the building’s structure, drains or shared areas, it is usually the landlord’s or freeholder’s job. In converted Georgian and Victorian terraces, mice often come through common parts, which is usually the freeholder’s responsibility. See Shelter’s guide to pests in rented homes.
