Mice Dominate Croydon’s Pest Crisis
Description
Mice are taking over Croydon’s social housing, triggering over 11,000 pest control visits since 2021—making up 57% of all residential calls. Peaks hit 325 visits in January 2024, with rodents accounting for nearly 80% of all pest issues. While rat and bedbug complaints remain high, cockroaches are on the rise. Council insists these figures reflect treatment, not new infestations, but tenants report persistent problems—even being moved into already infested flats. Prevention efforts now focus on food storage, waste management, and free mouse control services for residents.
