Local Knowledge

Pests In Matlock: What We See

Matlock sits on the River Derwent at the south-eastern edge of the Peak District, with the National Park directly to the west. Wooded valley sides and stone walls suit grey squirrels, and houses on the hillsides often get wasp nests in summer and cluster flies in their lofts in autumn.

Cromford, just south of Matlock Bath, is where Richard Arkwright built his first mill and is part of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site, along with the Cromford Canal. The river, the canal and old mill buildings give brown rats water and cover along the valley floor.

Matlock grew on its Victorian hydros, and the spa resort of Matlock Bath still draws visitors to its cafés, takeaways and holiday lets; Hall Leys Park also hosts farmers' markets. 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.

Council Or Private Pest Control In Matlock?

Derbyshire Dales District Council doesn't run its own pest control service, so households and businesses in Matlock use a private pest controller (council advice). That's us: same-day visits where we can, and clear, upfront advice on cost before any work starts.

Landlords are normally responsible for pests in rented homes caused by disrepair, and businesses must keep food premises pest-free under food hygiene law. We work for both.

Derbyshire Dales District Council

No council pest control service

Charges
No council pest control service; the council only responds to pest complaints on its own land (parks, cemeteries, town centres) and points residents to Derbyshire County Council's Trusted Trader scheme.

Checked on the council's pest control page in October 2026. Council charges change each April. We cover Matlock for every common pest, including the ones the council doesn't treat.

  • “ 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. ”

Google reviews from homes & businesses across the East Midlands

No. Derbyshire Dales District Council doesn't run its own pest control treatments, so households in Matlock use a private firm (see the council's pest control page). We cover Matlock, and we'll explain the likely cost before any work starts.

Prices depend on the pest, the size of the problem, the property and when you need us. Matlock is about 55 minutes from our Southwell base, so it's best to book ahead; for a same-day visit, call 07999 935 929 first so we can check availability and give you an idea of cost.
