Pest Control

Recommended Posts

Last weekend had some rodent problems in our kitchen and following recommendations contacted Craig Brown of Browns Pest Control.


He and his assistant Ed came round quickly, sorted out the problem, sealed a few entry points and checked the rest of the house and loft to make sure everything was ok.


Very friendly, explained how to avoid further problems and was very good value compared to Rentokil and comparable to the Southwark Council service which was quite hard to access.


Would happily recommend Craig who can be contacted on 07989 343136

Another recommendation for Craig Brown. We had a flea problem courtesy of a visiting neighbour's cat(!)and I contacted Craig on the basis of good reviews on this site. He answered my questions in a friendly and comprehensive manner and came round to deal with the problem promptly.


I was concerned that there were still some fleas around a few days later and contacted Craig who explained that the spray would still be working but if there were more fleas in the next day or so then he would come back to respray the property. Thankfully, he was right and we have had no further problems since.


I would thoroughly recommend Craig to anyone experiencing pest control problems. His number is 07989 343136.

Craig is excellent I would thoroughly recommend him. We had issues with rodents from a neighbour's property. With a newborn I was worried and quite scared but Craig was so reassuring, thoughtful and thorough. He offered to deal with next door too and has been happy to provide recommendations following the service.


Rodents all gone thanks to Craig. Hope that helps!

Another shout for Craig brown - great, fast job done. After hearing thumping in our attic and the pitter patter of tiny feet... Craig discovered a hole n our roof where a squirrel was coming in. also plugged all of the mouse holes and so far, so much quieter.


he does follow up cal and follow up service too. Nice friendly local bloke.

Another recommendation for Craig. He came out very quickly to deal with our unwanted rodents - sealed up various potential entry points and put down bait. No further sightings since his visit. His prices are very reasonable and he offers a follow up service which is good for peace of mind.

I would NOT recommend Craig Brown for pest control. It seems like my experience was similar to others: he came round for a first visit, did some treatments, charged me for a return visit too but then in spite of many many messages and me chasing, he never came back. I still have the problem and am down a lot of money.

We had used Craig twice in the past (based on ED recommendations) and he WAS ok. Two weeks ago, our tenant had spotted mice therefore we called Craig as before. We paid him for a more expensive package that includes a guarantee until end of this year, but we could not get him to come back after the first visit. He kept on giving excuses e.g. daughter in hospital, he will return calls later...etc. Eventually he stopped answering my calls.


A guarantee is worthless if it is not redeemable. Not only we wasted money, we also regretted wasting time on him wishing he could fulfil his end of bargain, causing much stress for us and our tenant. We have moved on to a different pest controller.

We have just finished a 3 part treatment from Critter Solutions Pest Control and would highly recommend their service.


Roger is friendly, trustworthy and professional. He has solved the mice issue at the flat (no more sighting) and guarantees to come back if we see any more mice in the next 18 months.


We can see why Critter Solutions have such glowing reviews at ED Forum and we wish we had used them earlier.

Just wanted to record my bad experience with Craig at Brown's Pest Control. When we first reported the issue, he was very quick to book a time and come round. He appeared to know what he was doing, but I later discovered that the wrong types of baits had been placed out (for rats rather than mice), and that the blocking up of holes was also incredibly shoddy.


This treatment proved ineffectual, and we were not able to contact Craig again despite having paid extra for him to supposedly guarantee a return visit - he started off by making excuses similar to the ones mentioned above, and ended up simply ignoring our phone calls / messages. We ended up having to give up on him and had to pay for another local pest controller.

    • Looking for tickets for 2 adults one child under 2 and one child over 2. However, please let me know if you have any combination of tickets you are no longer able to use.  Thanks 07756110500
    • all I said was "take a pro cash stance too far" - what twisting have I done?   plenty of good arguments for retention of cash - but let's not get too detached from reality either lest we go back to trading livestock   But to go back to your post DD:   "Or don't stop using cash" Yep plenty of people will agree with this - nothing controversial here   "Stop using your phone or even your watch as a banknote" - getting a bit weird now - why not - it's super convenient for both users and businesses. And far easier to keep a track of your balance using your electronic wallet than old systems of cheques taking days to clear, how much did I take from cashpoint 2 days ago etc. But people will differ so whatever works   "God only knows how much damage we're doing to the planet because all the above must require a hell of a lot of resources and juice from the grid" - big straw man argument here. Why bring this in? Unless you are also suggesting we don't buy any goods not made from within a 5 mile radius and nothing transported by air or sea? "a big lump of plastic with a screen and full of personal information that can be easily gleamed." I've had my phone stolen but nothing was lost because it was secure.I've been mugged and lost cash and valuable. It's not a binary thing   "your sky rocket with a phone in your hand. It's become a source of dopamine for many. It's an addiction for many."  Proper overreaching now There is a reason people like their modern phones - and it isn't just replacing cash. Replacing all of these functions in a tiny device is a magnificent achievement and to just boil  it down to "big lump with a screen" is reductive in the extreme  
    • I agree with the posts that housing is an urgent need in Peckham and throughout Southwark. But as Alice says, it’s the percentage of social / affordable housing that matters. In October last year, there were over 4,200 households on the Council’s waiting list for housing in Peckham alone (over 17 thousand across Southwark). But the developer is only offering 35% affordable housing (which means that 65% will be unaffordable). Both Southwark Council and the GLA say that a big development like this should provide 50% affordable housing.   Re-development of the site is a great opportunity to make the town centre “cleaner, safer and more sustainable and welcoming” (borrowing Nigello’s great words). Is this dense development going to do that, when it provides no real green and open space where people can spend time outside and nature can help us tackle the growing problems of climate change like absorbing flood water, cooling the air on baking summer days? Are 7-storey buildings along Rye Lane (where the average buildings are 2-3 storeys) going to be welcoming to users of the town centre? How will the development impact on Peckham’s economy? Currently there is busy daytime commercial activity of shops providing for different demographics and needs including a rich offering of international groceries and other products, alongside a thriving night-time economy. I can’t see anything in the proposal that suggests how it will enhance and empower the local economy. Yes please, let’s have a great development on this site that enhances the town centre. This means not letting the developer get away with packing people into dense blocks that turn their back on the town centre and which will be a recipe for urban decay in the long run. Peckham deserves better than this!
