Industry stalwart and Cleankill Pest Control’s longest-serving technician Phil Nye has retired after 20 years with the company.

Phil started his career with Rentokil in 1977 as a technician and then field biologist and a supervisor, before joining Cleankill in 2001.

Cleankill Pest Control has long been recognised for its expertise in the provision of pest control measures to stop problem birds such as pigeons, gulls and parakeets.

The operator of some playing fields in London was stumped when one of its sets of floodlights suddenly stopped working in the Spring. The same light then failed again at the start of Winter. This was one of twelve lights and all the other eleven continued to work perfectly well. What was causing the problem?

Cleankill Pest Control is proud to announce its Managing Director Paul Bates has been shortlisted as a finalist at the Institute of Directors (IoD) London & South Director of the Year Awards 2020.

Cleankill Pest Control is reporting a significant increase in the number of callouts from businesses as they reopen after the lockdown. 

The sudden increase in temperature and sunshine has meant an explosion of blossom and noticeable increase in bees going about their work.

There has also been a worrying surge in calls to pest controllers from people confusing bees with wasps and asking for treatment.

The lockdown has resulted in an increase in calls from residential premises to a London pest control company as people are spotting furry intruders and insects that would often go unnoticed.

Managing Director Paul Bates of Cleankill Pest Control says the mental health implications of having an infestation during lockdown when you can’t leave your home can be quite serious for some.

Croydon-based Cleankill Pest Control is celebrating after being shortlisted for six prizes at three local business awards in March 2020.
