An environment-friendly pest control business in East Devon has won an award for its excellence in pest control for the second year in a row.
Green Rock Pest Control won the Excellence in Pest Control category of the UK Trades Awards again this year in recognition of its effective pest management and exceptional customer service.
The awards were set up to celebrate the nation’s skilled professionals and businesses that keep homes, workplaces and communities running efficiently.
With his background in horticulture owner Kieron Bewes has a great respect for the environment and believes we should work with nature to prevent or eliminate pest problems, using poisons only as a last resort.
He strives to minimise his company’s environmental footprint and this involves working with and supporting local organisations that conserve plants and wildlife. His work takes him around East Devon and into West Dorset.
Mr Bewes said: “People tend to want to save the planet, but the high cost of sustainable options can mean they take the cheaper route of over-the-counter poisons that either don’t work effectively or result in secondary poisoning of local pets & wildlife.
“It’s important to create a memorable customer experience and to advise and explain about what and why this is happening, provide a rapid response and to take ownership of a problem until it is eradicated.”
