Commencing business in 1987 Graeme Stephens started the company in Auckland known as "Pest Patrol" |
| 1991 |
Graeme started getting serious about the business, working increasingly long Hours, eventually hiring additional staff, (including Mary whom would later marry Graeme.)
A second mortgage loan was made to purchase bigger and better equipment. This was necessary to handle the growing demand.more options were now available to clients and from this time onwards at least an extra van and equipment was put on the road each year to handle growth and demand. |
| 1995 |
We purchased our first “Van -mounted” application machine and clients were being amazed with the quality of the better pest control. All our solutions were now the best available based on international research. |
| 1996 |
By this time due to popular demand the company was employing, and putting an van on the road each year. |

We purchased and moved into bigger and better factory premises, which we currently operate from at our headquarters: 12 Culperry Road,Glendene, Auckland, |

We commenced servicing in the Bay of Plenty region on RT contact. To provide a better service to our nationwide key clients a decision was made to expand throughout New Zealand. |
