Locate the changing signs
Mark the earliest and latest Keston evidence before selecting an inspection route.
Keston: Inspection-led help across London Borough of Bromley
Arrange a Keston inspection for rodents, insects or a time-sensitive problem. Findings at Keston Common and the village ponds determine treatment and review.

Keston: Diagnosis before products
A Keston visit starts with evidence at the exact cottage, detached house or commercial site. Woodland, ponds and fields can support outdoor wildlife and insects, but indoor control requires a current link such as repeated droppings, gnawing, tracks or a defined flight line. Mention roof alterations, drainage problems and outbuildings, and arrange safe access only to those areas implicated by the signs.
Species identification prevents unnecessary or unsuitable work. Loft sounds are tested against physical evidence; fabric damage is linked to the affected material; wasp activity is assessed by direction, height and exposure. Products and devices are chosen around residents, animals and non-target wildlife. Review findings decide whether further control, targeted proofing or specialist building repair is justified.
For Keston, related guidance includes moth control and bed bug control.
Keston: Four evidence checkpoints
Mark the earliest and latest Keston evidence before selecting an inspection route.
Inspect woodland edges, barns, roof spaces and garden stores only where fresh evidence points that way.
Treat the evidenced source around Keston Common and the village ponds with stated safety restrictions.
Read new Keston evidence before recommending repairs or management changes.

Keston: London Borough of Bromley property context
Keston's village lanes and larger plots can make directions, parking and gate access important. Some addresses have separate garages, stables or garden rooms, while others sit near protected woodland where indiscriminate control would be inappropriate. Provide BR2 details and the authorised contact for every relevant structure. Outdoor sightings alone are recorded without assuming that the main house is infested.
Keston: Time-sensitive problems
When an animal enters an occupied room, contamination affects usable food or a nest route crosses essential access, keep people and pets back and call with the precise location. Preserve the evidence without approaching a roof or woodland-edge nest. Avoid loose bait and unlabelled spray. Describe any vulnerable occupant, previous treatment and safe route to the affected building.

| Pest problem | Useful warning signs | Inspection focus | Typical next step |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rats or mice | Night noise supported by gnawing at Keston | The occupied room, accessible food and woodland edges, barns, roof spaces and garden stores | Remove accessible food pressure and measure activity at protected points |
| Bed bugs | Repeated marks supported by harbourage evidence | Specimen identity and the boundary of sleeping or seating space | Treat accessible harbourage with stated preparation and re-entry |
| Cockroaches | Repeated catches on a dated Keston monitor | Cleaning access behind fixed fittings and nearby pipework | Treat the active Keston zone and read placed monitors |
| Wasps | Concentrated wasp traffic at a Keston eave | Safe approach, entry point and people using the nearby route | Keep the Keston approach clear until treatment is assessed |
| Moths or beetles | Larvae or holes linked to Keston fabric | Species features and storage history around Keston Common and the village ponds | Remove infested material where appropriate and improve storage |
