Local Knowledge
Water shapes a lot of our rat work here. The River Trent runs through the county past Nottingham and Newark, and the Nottingham, Erewash, Grantham and Chesterfield canals all run through it too, along with smaller rivers such as the Maun, Idle, Ryton and Erewash. Brown rats favour damp banks and burrow easily, so homes and businesses near water often get rats in gardens, sheds and under decking.
Housing varies a great deal. Inner Nottingham has streets of 19th-century terraces and many shared houses and student lets, where mice move through shared voids and bed bugs can spread from room to room. The former mining towns of Ashfield, Mansfield and north Nottinghamshire have rows of older terraces. Newer estates on the edges of towns such as Bingham and Hucknall back straight onto farmland.
Sherwood Forest and the Dukeries, including Clumber Park and Rufford, cover much of the centre and north of the county. Homes near woodland and farmland call us most often about grey squirrels in lofts, wasp nests in late summer, moles in lawns, and rats 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?
Nottingham City, Rushcliffe and Ashfield councils still run their own paid pest control services, and Ashfield says its service also covers Mansfield residents. Broxtowe, Newark and Sherwood and Bassetlaw do not treat pests, so residents there need a private pest controller (Broxtowe offers residents on benefits up to £50 cash-back on a rat or mouse treatment).
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 Nottinghamshire, pest control is handled by Nottingham City Council and the seven district and borough councils: Ashfield, Bassetlaw, Broxtowe, Gedling, Mansfield, Newark and Sherwood, and Rushcliffe. Some offer a paid treatment service, usually aimed at rats and mice in homes, and some have stopped treating and point residents to private firms. Each town page shows what the local council offers, so check your own council's pest control page for current prices.
Use us when you need a visit the council can't offer quickly, a pest it doesn't treat (bed bugs, squirrels, moles or birds, for example), proofing to stop pests getting back in, or regular visits for a business. Ask us for a price: we'll explain the likely cost before any work starts.
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.
