Sean Kennell

Senior Pest Control Technician · London

Sean brings more than 25 years of international pest control experience to Service Giant's London operation, having worked commercial and residential contracts across several countries before settling into the capital's demanding pace. He's well versed in the sewer-borne rat activity that plagues basements from Southwark to Islington, and in the shared-wall mouse movement that spreads through London's Victorian and Edwardian conversions once one flat develops an entry point. Sean works closely with restaurant groups and managing agents who need audit-ready pest records, and treats every job as if it were his own tenancy on the line.

Rat Control in London

Rats breed rapidly, contaminate food and surfaces, and gnaw through wiring and pipes. A rat infestation poses serious health risks and can cause structural damage if left untreated.

In London: London's sewer network gives rats a direct route into basements and kitchens across every borough — we check drain runs, not just bait indoors.

How we control it

  • Tamper-resistant baiting
  • Snap & break-back trapping
  • Entry-point proofing

Seasonal pressure

When pests are worst in London

Pest control in London works best when it’s timed to the local calendar. Here’s what our technicians see through the year, and the month to book each job so a small problem never becomes an infestation.

  1. 01Pest pressure in London

    Spring (Mar–May)

    • Ants
    • Wasp queens
    • Birds

    Wasp queens leave hibernation to start new nests in lofts and eaves, garden ants begin flying, and gulls and pigeons claim nesting ledges. Proofing roofs around Southwark before nests establish is the cheapest fix of the London year.

  2. 02Pest pressure in London

    Summer (Jun–Aug)

    • Wasps
    • Flies
    • Bed bugs
    • Fleas

    Peak callout season in London. Wasp nests reach full size, flies breed in bins within hours, and holiday travel pushes bed bug reports up sharply in flats and rentals around Kensington and Chelsea.

Sean Kennell of Service Giant has been very good and helpful in sorting out the issue of rat activity in our top floor loft storage space. Rodenticide bait was placed at various locations to control the rats and has worked so far since 26/03/25 and we're very satisfied with the professional work done. Well done Sean.
