Services
Rat Control
Our rat control service combines thorough property inspections using trained terriers with non-toxic monitoring to identify infestation sources. We implement targeted eradication strategies while addressing structural vulnerabilities to prevent re-entry. Clients receive detailed proofing advice to maintain long-term rat-free environments.
Bedbug Treatment
Specialised bedbug treatments utilise eco-friendly insecticides and manual egg removal to eliminate infestations. We conduct comprehensive inspections of mattresses, furniture, and wall voids, followed by follow-up visits to ensure complete eradication while minimising chemical exposure for sensitive households.
Bird Management
We address bird-related issues through humane deterrents and exclusion techniques. Services include installing anti-roosting spikes, netting, and visual deterrents to prevent nesting in eaves, balconies, and commercial premises while complying with wildlife protection regulations.
Mole Control
Our mole control solutions combine trap placement with habitat modification to protect lawns and gardens. We identify active tunnels through systematic monitoring and implement removal programs while advising on landscaping changes to discourage future infestations.
Commercial Pest Control
Tailored commercial pest management includes integrated pest management (IPM) plans for factories, farms, and offices. We provide regular inspections, detailed reporting, and compliance documentation alongside emergency call-out services to maintain pest-free environments for businesses of all sizes.

Chris has fantastic knowledge and expertise. He did a very complete and reassuring rodent inspection with his well-trained canine helpers Dodge & Flo and the whole experience was surprisingly interesting and enjoyable. I don't normally write reviews but am so pleased with such a good service. I have already recommended Chris and Kapow Pest Control to a friend and will definitely do that again if anyone I know needs pest control services.

I recently called Chris as we were concerned we had a termite infestation. Chris was extremely responsive and called me back immediately (even though it was a Sunday). He was very professional and helpful in his response. I would highly recommend Chris to provide pest control services.

Excellent service and great communication! Responded quickly and dealt with our wasp infestation efficiently both times. The second time, we had FIVE wasp nests on the roof! Chris eliminated all of them for a really reasonable price.
