Local Knowledge
Shelton Lock takes its name from a lock on the Derby Canal, which closed in the 1960s; a cycle path now follows its line. Old canal routes stay green and overgrown in places, which gives brown rats a corridor right through the housing.
Behind the estates are fields and woodland that form part of Sinfin Moor, some of which has been built on for newer housing. Homes on that edge are closer to grey squirrels, wasp nests and rats moving in from the open land.
Chellaston Road has a lot of inter-war private housing, and the George V Jubilee Estate was built in 1935. Mice get into houses of that age through air bricks, gaps around pipes and worn door seals, so proofing is part of every mouse job we do.
Derby City Council runs a pest control service for rats, mice (inside only), wasps, cockroaches, bed bugs, fleas, carpet beetles, cluster flies, squirrels (advice visit only). 2026/27, booked online (phone prices higher): rats inside or outside £109 and mice £109 (up to 4 visits); wasps £74 for one nest; cockroaches £282; bed bugs from £218 (up to three bedrooms); fleas or carpet beetles from £130; cluster flies £129; squirrel advice visit £39. Private landlord and housing association properties pay the commercial call-out fee (£85 + VAT from 1 April 2026). No concessions published. Full details are on the council's website.
Use us when you need a quicker visit, a pest the council doesn't treat, commercial cover, or proofing to stop pests getting back in.
