Rat Control in Barking
Victorian terraces and council-built flats in Barking tend to have shared alleys, old drain runs and bin areas, which give rats cover and routes between neighbouring properties. With the River Roding and the Thames close by, and new riverside apartment blocks going up beside older streets, rats can move along the waterside land into gardens and basements.
Barking is a London-edge town in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, set beside the River Roding and the Thames. It has a busy town centre, large regeneration areas and a mix of older and newer homes. We cover Barking Riverside, Creekmouth, Thames View and Gascoigne Estate and the rest of Barking, across the IG11 postcodes.
