Margate is a seaside town surrounded by a picturesque harbour, but its proximity to the water can mean pests, such as rats and spiders, are drawn to the area.
For many years, Margate has played host to vast numbers of tourists from London and beyond, with its old town and sandy beaches attracting people all year long, and especially in the summer months.
But bed bugs, cockroaches and mice can congregate in places where there are high numbers of people eating, drinking and sleeping.
JG Pest Control can tackle any kind of pest infestation, wherever it is - whether it’s in your business or home. Get in touch for a quote or to find out more about our full range of services.
Margate’s regeneration around the Turner Contemporary has brought new residents and businesses, but the town’s older properties and seafront still face persistent pest challenges.
Pest Control in Margate
Margate is home to some hidden gem tourist attractions, such as the shell grotto, Theatre Royal and Margate Tudor House. It also has a number of beautiful beaches, including Palm and Westbrook Bay.
But where there’s coastline, there are pests, such as seagulls, spiders and rats, which can make their way into homes and businesses around the area.

Local Pest Trends
Margate’s coastal location brings specific pest challenges. Seagull activity is common near the seafront, while the older properties along the waterfront attract rodents looking for harbourage. The hospitality and tourism sector in Margate requires proactive commercial pest management, particularly during the summer season.
