Local Knowledge

Pests In Derby: What We See

The River Derwent runs through the middle of Derby, and the city holds the southern end of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site, which begins with Lombe's silk mill of 1717–19 and includes Darley Abbey. Riverbanks, old mill buildings and the brooks that feed the Derwent are natural routes for brown rats, which then turn up in gardens, sheds and drains on nearby streets.

Normanton and Pear Tree are known for high-density late-Victorian terraced housing. In terraces, mice move easily from house to house through shared roof spaces, under-floor voids and gaps around pipes, so treating one house without proofing often isn't enough; we look at the whole route in.

The University of Derby has around 34,000 students, with its main campus on Kedleston Road, and plenty of shared and rented housing goes with that. Bed bugs aren't a sign of a dirty home; the NHS notes they travel in luggage, clothing and second-hand furniture, which is why they show up where people move in and out often.

The Cathedral Quarter is full of independent shops, cafés and restaurants. Food businesses must keep pests out under food hygiene law, and pest checks are part of the Food Standards Agency's Safer Food, Better Business system, so signs of mice or cockroaches are worth dealing with before an inspection finds them.

  • “ Gino was exceptional. Prompt in his response and visits. He was successful in clearing the pests and has arranged the property so it doesn’t have the same issue again. Pricing of the service was fair. He arranged a drainage service that we needed and this was helpful. I would 100% recommend Gino’s services. ”
    Victor Odiase Google review · December 2024
  • “ Amazing service, great guy would highly recommend. We have had an issue in our garage loft where rodents were getting in, I tried traps, baits blocking what I thought were entry points. All of this with no success. I called Urgent Pest Control after reading there Google reviews, Gino visited promptly to carry out a survey and set some traps, luckily whatever was in loft had left as the traps were empty after two weeks of being set. Gino returned today and installed gutter brushes and mesh. Would 100% recommend this company. Thanks again. ”
