Local Knowledge
The River Derwent flows through Matlock, Belper and the centre of Derby before joining the Trent south of the city. The Erewash Canal runs up the Erewash valley through Long Eaton, Sandiacre and Ilkeston. Brown rats favour damp river and canal banks, so homes and businesses beside these waterways often call us about rats.
Derby and the older towns of the Erewash and Amber Valley have plenty of terraced housing. In joined-up houses, mice travel through shared roof voids and under floors, so we check for the entry points as well as treating. In Derby's student lets and shared houses, bed bugs can spread from room to room, so we inspect the whole property.
Further north and west the countryside takes over, from the Derwent Valley to the edge of the Peak District. Homes beside woodland and farmland are more likely to get grey squirrels in lofts, wasps in sheds and eaves, and mice moving indoors after harvest.
Each town page covers the postcodes, the council's own pest service and charges, drive times and the pests we see most there.

Council Or Private?
Derby City, Amber Valley, North East Derbyshire and Bolsover councils still treat pests for residents, and Bolsover treats rats and mice free of charge. Erewash, South Derbyshire and Derbyshire Dales do not offer a treatment service and point residents to private pest controllers.
District and unitary councils, not county councils, deal with pests. Under the Prevention of Damage by Pests Act 1949 they have a duty to keep their area free of rats and mice as far as practicable, and they can require landowners to deal with infestations. Councils don't have to offer a treatment service, though, so what's available, what it costs and which pests are covered varies from one council to the next.
In our part of Derbyshire, that means Derby City Council and the district and borough councils for Erewash, Amber Valley, South Derbyshire, North East Derbyshire, Chesterfield, Bolsover and the Derbyshire Dales. Some offer a paid service for rats and mice, and sometimes for wasps or other insects. Others don't treat at all and refer residents to private firms. Each town page sets out what that council offers.
If the council can't come quickly, doesn't treat your pest or doesn't cover businesses, we can help. We'll explain the likely cost before any work starts, and follow-up visits are included for rats and mice.
Not sure which to use? We can usually visit sooner, treat pests councils don't (wasps, bed bugs, birds, squirrels), and seal the gaps they get in through. See our pest control prices.
