Best Pest Control in Derbyshire (2025)

Rating: 5 / 5

I originally noticed M. Gregory of Protecta Pest Control (Gregg) from the advert on a parked car's window. Impressed by his credentials and the way my initial enquiry was handled, I added him to my contact list in case I needed his services. Came the day when I did! Alarmed at the sight of the tail-end of a rat as it disappeared from view when I lifted the access panel in my verandah decking to check something, I realised I may have a problem. Time to call Greg! Today he made a thorough inspection of the 32ft x 9ft area enclosed by my raised verandah. It required him to crawl on all fours. He found no sign of any droppings or nest, nor anything that would attract vermin to stay, and concluded there was no problem needing treatment. I was relieved to know that the rat I saw was simply a member of the wildlife community passing by and popping in to have a look before moving on. And I was perfectly prepared and happy to pay for Gregg's time and skill - but he wouldn't accept any payment. I was amazed and grateful for his expertise, care and courtesy.

From the moment we got in touch with Protecta they were amazing. Gregg was round the next day and was so helpful with finding our issue. As two fairly new home owners with little knowledge of all things DIY/pest control, we really needed someone with experience and Gregg had that and more. He even popped round again when my wife sent an SOS the following day. Thank you so much for your help Gregg, hopefully we won’t need you again but if we do you’ll be the first person we call.

Greg visited us at short notice, and provided great advice. He was really knowledgeable about how we could prevent pests in the future and even left us with some mesh for the vents on our house. Really good service, highly recommended.

Called Gregg from Protecta Pests to assess a rat problem in my house. He discovered a nest in the attic and multiple access points around the house. Professional through and through, he dealt with the issue quickly and throughout the whole experience the information provided was clear and simple to understand. I have had no issues in the last few months since his visit and follow up visit to check on the situation. Wholeheartedly recommended 👌

Builders found a wasp nest whilst fixing my roof, I called H & Co and had someone out within an hour! Problem solved and no delays for the builder. Thank you so much

Had a problem for several months and dealt with the council without success before we used H&Co's services. Chris was very friendly and identified the problem on a first visit. It only took few more visits to sort out the issue altogether. We received quotes from larger services and they are extortionate compared to H&Co. Chris is incredibly knowledgable about his craft and is very dedicated to his work. He was very responsive and keen to help. I would 100% recommend his services as he will deal with any issue professionally and sort it out quickly.

Had a very annoying rat problem with vermin running up and down the cavity walls of an old house. Chris from H& Co. did an excellent job over 3 visits laying poison, bait and traps in the affected areas and fitting a one-way valve in the sewer. Very pleased with the results as the scuttling noises are gone and the price was reasonable. Chris was excellent to deal with throughout always explaining his methods and what he'd found and pointing out areas that were more vulnerable or attractive to rats and suggesting solutions. Highly recommended!

We had an issue with pigeons getting under the solar panels, Matt came and installed spikes to stop them, amazing job very neat can hardly see them. As we obviously couldn’t see what he was doing and how it looked to make sure we were happy and knew what had been done he took pictures to show us during and after completion. While up on the roof Matt drew our attention to an issue we had with the roof vent, he very kindly sorted that out for us to, saving us a lot of money as having scaffolding erected again would have cost us a lot. Matt is a kind and friendly guy, fabulous customer service, highly recommend this company.

Since we lost our cat, we had evidence of mice in our garage but we couldn’t tell if they’d been in recently or not. As an animal lover, I wanted the situation to be handled sensitively. As a Father of two young children, I wanted it handled quickly, safely and permanently. Matt from MSD Pest Control was able to determine that the activity was recent and advised that our visitors were field mice. He was honest and advised me away from my plan to capture them as they would only return or potentially die on the return journey. Matt laid bait boxes and conducted weekly check ups. He assessed potential access points and installed preventative treatment on our garage at a very fair price. Our next door neighbour was also impressed and asked for the same services. Great communication, service and workmanship. I highly recommend.

Matt is amazing at what he does from finding the root cause to treatment. We had a chaotic problem on a large scale & Matt dealt with the issue promptly & professionally. Highly recommend Matt for all pest control problems!

Matt has been absolutely fantastic. One of my rentals suffered a fly infestation and I found Matt on Google. He took away the stress of the situation and dealt with my tenant with excellent professionalism and care. I would recommend anyone to use Matt in dealing with pests in the home. Thank you Matt once again I will be using you in the future if any issues occur. A huge thank you 👍🏻🙏

Darren is absolutely awesome. I only wish I'd rung pest force first before I got robbed of £120 by another company. Darren is polite, professional, extremely knowledge and does exactly what's needed to sort your pest problem at a fair price. He's punctual and efficient whilst being thorough.

Rating: 5 / 5

Darren responded at short notice to remove the wasp nest from my elderly mother's house as the wasps were flying around the bedroom. He let us know when he was coming and fitted the job into his extremely busy schedule on the day we called. I have no hesitation in recommending him to solve your pest issues quickly and at a very reasonable price.

Rating: 5 / 5

Pestforce responded and assessed our issue with a first visit in less than 24 hours. We found the service to be efficient and ethical. Darren was friendly, professional and knowledgeable in his field and happy to answer my many questions. We hope to not require such services again (naturally) but should we have any further issues, we have absolute confidence in Darren to act, monitor and resolve the problem. I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone else.

Rating: 5 / 5

Brilliant service from Darren, swiftly dealing with our rat problem in a few short visits. Additional help added by fitting a door brush to our out place and securing meshing around open drainage space at no extra cost. Would definitely recommend for a friendly, experienced and knowledgeable service.

Andrew has been fantastic in helping us get on top of our rat and mouse problem in both our house and garden. He is knowledgeable, kind and understanding. Andrew has also advised us on how to prevent further infestations with lots of tips that I'd never have known otherwise. Thanks Andrew for your help. Highly recommended!

Excellent friendly service. Gave our house a thorough check and diagnosed the problem. Gave us some good instructions on how to prevent the rodents returning, something that our previous three pest control companies did not do. Would definitely recommend.

Andrew was friendly, professional, efficient and reliable. He gave sound and reasonable advice and has rectified our issue. I would highly recommend him to anyone with a pest control problem, and I won't hesitate to use his company in the future.

Just amazing… I could leave it at that to be fair. Never had any issues with rodents before, didn’t know what we were dealing with, spoke to Andy and within minutes he’d put our minds at rest, super informative, this was just over the phone and free advice. Booked him to come and help us and what a fantastic fella, super knowledgeable and a great guy too. Wouldn’t even bother calling anyone else, no need, he’ll sort it out with confidence.
