P.E.S.T. CONTROL SERVICES LTD(SW) was founded on a simple belief: that rats can be controlled effectively,
humanely and accountably without ever reaching for poison.
We started P.E.S.T. CONTROL SERVICES LTD(SW) after years of seeing food waste and agricultural sites forced to choose between ineffective control and poison they were not allowed to use. Shooting was the answer, but only when done properly, by people who understand the site, the species and the paperwork.
Today we work alongside waste operators, farmers and commercial site managers across the country, running scheduled poison-free programmes that keep rat pressure low and audit records clean. We are a small, hands-on team, the person who surveys your site is the person who carries out the work.
Effective control starts with reading the site — the runs, the burrows, the feed points and the harbourage. We take the time to understand why rats are there before we start, so the work we do actually solves the problem rather than pushing it somewhere else.
Combine that understanding with precision shooting and honest proofing advice, and you get lasting reduction rather than a temporary clear-out. It is slower to learn and harder to do, but it is the reason our clients stay with us year after year.
Why clients choose us
Every site is surveyed and worked by an experienced controller — never handed to a junior or a franchisee. You deal with the person doing the job.
Visit reports, counts and observations are part of the service, not an extra. We give waste and commercial sites the paperwork auditors and insurers expect.
If shooting is not the right answer for your site, we will tell you. We refer work we cannot do to a high standard rather than take it on badly.
In the field
Most of our control takes place at dusk or through the night, when rats are active and sites are quiet. These images show the reality of the job.

“We cannot use bait on site, full stop. Their shooting programme has kept our rat numbers down to almost nothing for over a year now, and the visit reports make audit day straightforward. Genuinely the only method that has worked for us.”
