◉ 04 — Local context

Why pest pressure varies here.

Reading is a city in South East, and pest pressure here is shaped by two things: building stock and street pattern. We see the most call-outs from ex-council maisonettes with communal bin stores and post-war semis with original sub-floor voids, with seasonal spikes traced to active demolition and basement-dig sites and active demolition and basement-dig sites. On top of that, milder southern winters extend the breeding window by several weeks. Bed bugs, rats, cockroaches dominate the casework.

Quotes in Reading run slightly above the UK average — driven by access, parking and travel time across South East.
