Rats in Lewisham
Rats in Lewisham follow water and green space. Deptford Creek and the River Ravensbourne, along with open spaces such as Hilly Fields and Beckenham Place Park, give them food and cover, and from there they travel along sewers, railway banks and garden fences into nearby homes.
In Deptford (SE8), for instance: Deptford has a busy high street market, old dockyard streets, new riverside flats and Deptford Creek. Near the river or canal, rats often enter through drains, so a damaged pipe or missing drain cover can let them straight into a kitchen or bathroom.

Much of the housing in Catford, New Cross and Forest Hill is Victorian and Edwardian terraces. In terraced streets rats often come from defective drains under the house or along shared rear gardens, so we check inspection chambers and pipe joints as well as the house itself.
