“Karl was super responsive and got the job done promptly. Great service, very competitive price, and it’s worked a treat — no more white tails in the house, dead or alive! Highly recommend, thanks Karl.
— Tania Brackenridge, Papamoa Beach“We’d never called in for help with spiders before, but Karl at Tauranga Pest Control made it simple from start to finish. Better yet, the unwanted feature-walls of spiders are now a thing of the past!

🛠️ Step By Step: How to Get Rid of Mosquitoes
1. Walk the Section After Rain
and tip out anything holding water: buckets, pot saucers, tyres, tarps, toys and wheelbarrows.
2. Do It Every Week
Wrigglers take about a week to become mosquitoes in warm weather.
3. Clear Blocked Gutters
4. Fit Fine Mesh Over Rainwater Tank Inlets and Overflows
5. Empty and Refill Bird Baths and Pet Bowls
every few days.
6. Fit Screens
to the windows you leave open, and use a fan where you sit. Mosquitoes are weak fliers.
