Complete Pest Control is a locally owned firm that works on the cause of a pest problem, not just the pests in front of you. It covers homes, commercial premises and rural properties across Christchurch and Canterbury. Its method looks at where pests are getting in, and what food and water is drawing them. The firm offers a free, no-obligation quote. Its services include spider control, ant treatment for the non-native species found in Christchurch, fly and flea control, bird control for seagulls, sparrows, starlings, pigeons and magpies, and humane possum control on farms and rural land. It also treats borer in older wooden houses and deals with rats, using bait stations and traps. The firm says it is a member of Pest Management Australia and New Zealand, an industry body that sets standards for its members.
