Protecting homes and businesses across the South Island since 2007
Pests never give you a warning. One day everything feels fine, and the next you’re dealing with ants, a wasp nest, or scratching sounds in the ceiling. When that happens, you need more than a quick fix. You need people who know how to find the source and stop it for good.
We’re a family business that’s spent nearly two decades tackling pest problems across the South Island. Our licensed technicians bring experience, training, and a genuine commitment to leaving every property safer than we found it. Whether it’s a small job or ongoing prevention, our aim is simple: zero pests and peace of mind.
Residential Pest Control
Your Home, Without the Unwanted Guests
A pest problem at home is more than an inconvenience, it can unsettle your whole space. Our team handles common household issues like ants, spiders, rodents, and wasps with solutions that don’t just clear what you see but address what’s happening behind the scenes.
We create plans that match the way you live, whether that’s a once-off treatment to get rid of an immediate problem or seasonal protection to keep pests from coming back. Either way, you’ll have the confidence of knowing a professional has taken care of it properly.
Commercial Pest Control
Protecting Workplaces and Reputations
For businesses, pests can do more than cause discomfort. A bad pest problem can compromise safety, interrupt operations, and damage hard-earned reputations. From cafés and restaurants to warehouses and schools, we design pest programs that keep workplaces compliant, discreetly managed, and disruption-free.
Our process starts with a comprehensive site assessment to understand your pest risks and identify prevention opportunities, then we develop an Integrated Pest Management plan tailored to your business. Using multiple control strategies, from exclusion and sanitation to targeted treatments, we focus on long-term prevention rather than just reactive spraying.
With online reporting, regular monitoring, and PMANZ-backed standards, you’ll always know where things stand, allowing you to focus on running your business instead of worrying about pests.
