Pest Control Bromley – Local, Professional & with 25+ Years Experience

Prime Target Pest Control Steve in hot loft

My name is Steve Percy and I've lived in Bromley for over 51 years. I grew up in St Mary Cray, spent years in Bromley Common, and now live in Poverest — so when I say I know this area, I mean it. I run Prime Target Pest Control as a sole trader, which means when you call me, you get me. Not a call centre, not a stranger in a van — someone who genuinely knows your neighbourhood and cares about doing the job properly.

I cover all BR postcodes and offer same-day callouts Monday to Friday, 8am to 8pm, for urgent pest problems including rats, mice, wasps, bed bugs, fleas, cockroaches, and grey squirrels.

Why Local Knowledge Matters in Bromley

Bromley is a borough of contrasts — Victorian terraces in Bromley Town, large detached homes in Chislehurst, properties backing onto woodland in West Wickham and Keston. Each comes with its own pest challenges. I've spent years working in this borough, first on council contracts and now independently, and that experience shapes every job I take on. I know which areas tend to have drain-related rat problems, where squirrels are active during loft season, and how bed bug cases have crept into properties near transport links.

That local knowledge isn't something you'll get from a national pest control chain.

Rat & Mouse Control in Bromley

Rodent problems are the most common call I receive across Bromley, and they're also the most frequently mishandled. The truth is, traps and bait alone rarely solve the problem long term. In my experience, the single most important step is finding out how the rats or mice are getting in — and permanently blocking that route.

I've visited homes in Bromley where customers had spent hundreds on repeated treatments with other companies, only for the problem to keep returning. In several cases, a cracked drain or an unsealed pipe was the real culprit. Once that's fixed, the infestation ends.

Every rodent job I carry out includes a thorough inspection of the property, identification of likely entry points, professional-grade baiting or trapping where needed, and proofing advice — or a quote for physical proofing work. You always get a minimum of three visits as part of any rodent treatment.

Wasp Nest Removal Bromley

Wasp Nest in Garden shed

If you've found a wasp nest, the worst thing you can do is disturb it. I provide safe, same-day wasp nest removal across all Bromley postcodes. After treatment, the nest is typically inactive within 24 hours. If for any reason it isn't, I'll return free of charge — after 24 hours, no quibble, no extra cost.

Bed Bug Treatment Bromley

Bed bug cases have increased noticeably across Bromley in recent years. I use the Cimex Eradicator system — a dry steam treatment at 180°C that kills bed bugs and their eggs on contact. This is followed by a professional residual insecticide to ensure nothing survives. It's one of the most effective treatment methods available, and I've seen it deliver results where other approaches have failed.

Grey Squirrel Removal & Loft Proofing in Bromley

Grey squirrels are widespread across Bromley's green spaces and, once inside a loft, can cause serious damage — chewing cables, destroying insulation, and creating a persistent noise problem. Simply trapping and releasing doesn't work; they'll be back, or others will follow. I remove squirrels and then proof the entry points properly so the problem doesn't repeat.

Areas I Cover Across Bromley

I covermost of the BR postcodes, including Bromley Town Centre (BR1), Bromley Common (BR2), West Wickham (BR4), Orpington and Petts Wood (BR5 & BR6), Chislehurst (BR7), and Swanley borders (BR8). I also cover TN16 on the rural fringes.

Every job is different, so I give clear, upfront pricing before any work begins. There are no hidden charges or surprise add-ons.

Yes — being based locally means I can often attend the same day for urgent problems, subject to availability, Monday to Friday 8am–8pm.

Are your treatments safe around children and pets?

Yes. I follow Integrated Pest Management principles. Rodent baits are always placed in tamper-resistant bait stations, and all treatments are applied with care and professionalism.
