Discover effective pest control tips to keep your property pest-free—plus how OXE Services Ltd can help with professional pest solutions in Derbyshire.

Pests can cause serious damage to property, harm your health, and hurt your business’s reputation. The good news? With the right strategies, you can prevent infestations before they start.

At OXE Services Ltd, we offer reliable pest control services for domestic, commercial, and industrial clients across Derbyshire. Here are six proven tips to help keep unwanted visitors away.


1. Keep It Clean

Food crumbs, rubbish, and standing water attract pests. Regular cleaning, especially in kitchens, bins, and storage areas, is the first line of defence.

 

2. Seal Entry Points

Rodents and insects can squeeze through tiny gaps. Inspect and seal cracks in walls, gaps under doors, and holes around pipes.

 

3. Store Food Securely

Use airtight containers and don’t leave pet food or open packaging lying around. Keep dry goods off the floor and rotate stock in commercial kitchens.

 

4. Empty Bins Regularly

Waste is a magnet for flies, rats, and cockroaches. Use sealed bins, empty them frequently, and clean them regularly to reduce odours.

 

5. Check for Early Signs

Look out for droppings, gnawed materials, insect wings, or nests. Early detection allows for faster, more effective treatment.

 

6. Call in the Experts

Sometimes, pests require more than DIY fixes. OXE Services Ltd provides fast, discreet, and fully licensed pest control solutions tailored to your property.
