Before you ring
What sets the price?
The size and layout of the premises, which pests, how many bait stations, and how often the plan has Richard back. The site inspection and quote are free.
Is it safe to wait?
Rats, cockroaches and ants in a kitchen or stockroom spread to the next room and the next delivery, and customers notice.
What does the visit involve?
Richard walks the premises inside and out, sets up a plan for the site, treats it at a time that suits the business, and checks in on the schedule.
What’s about this month?
This month is lit on the strip. Where a pest keeps a season, its band shows the months it’s most about.
This monthBusiestIn season
Tell Richard what you’re seeingRats or mice
Busiest June to August.
Winter is the commonest time for rats and mice to get into the house.
Ants
Busiest September to February.
Spring and summer are when ants like the Argentine ant go looking for sweet and protein foods.
Wasps
In season September to May; busiest February to May.
Queens start new nests in spring. Nests grow all summer and are busiest in late summer and autumn, raising next year’s queens.
Premises Richard looks after

Stockrooms, back doors and bins, where rats and cockroaches find a way in.

Schools and childcare centres
Classrooms, kitchens and the grounds, wasp nests in the banks and trees included.
One of Richard’s recent jobs was an ant treatment for a Motueka business.
A plan set up for your site
Every site gets its own plan, set up after the free inspection: where the bait stations go, which areas are treated, and how often Richard comes back to check them.

Richard walks the premises inside and out, including roof spaces, store rooms and the outside of the building.

You get a plan for the site and a quote for it.
Treatment
Richard and the team treat the site at a time that suits the business.
Check-ins
He checks the stations and checks in with you on the schedule in the plan.
Motueka’s working side
Late summer brings a seasonal workforce to Motueka to pick the crops, wooden apple crates stack up at the packing sheds, and Port Motueka is home to a deep-water fishing company.
From the shops and cafés along High Street to the restaurants in Māpua’s old cool store and the schools from Riwaka to Upper Moutere, Richard covers businesses right across the district.
What sets the price
- The size and layout of the premises
- Which pests, and where on the site
- How many bait stations the plan needs
- How often the plan has Richard back to check
Very good service, thank you Richard.
Questions
Another question? Call 0800 166 027 or send it with your quote.
Do you work with schools and childcare centres?
Yes. Schools and childcare centres are among the sites Richard looks after, along with offices, shops and hospitality.
Do we need a regular service or a one-off treatment?
Either. After the free inspection Richard recommends what the site needs and quotes it, so you can choose.
Do you treat outside the building too?
Yes. Bins, back doors, outdoor seating and the outside walls are often where it starts, so the plan covers them.
