Websites built for pest control.

Someone searching for pest control usually wants a problem gone fast — rats in the roof, wasps in the eaves, an ant trail in the kitchen — and is nervous about chemicals being used in their home. Your website’s job is to answer both worries quickly. We build it first, from what is already public about you, and then give it to you. It costs nothing to have and nothing to keep.


What people are actually searching for

“Pest control [suburb]”, “rat in roof near me”, “wasp nest removal”: most of this is urgent, and it is happening inside someone’s home, which makes trust matter more than for an outdoor trade.

That changes what the website is for. It is there so someone can see, fast, what pests you deal with, the towns you cover, and a phone number that gets answered — and, if it applies, that you are certified to use the products you use.

The trust signal most pest control websites leave out

Using certain classified agrichemicals and hazardous substances for pest control requires an Approved Handler certificate under the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act. It is not a marketing claim — it is a specific certification tied to specific products, and it is worth naming if you hold it.

Most people calling pest control are letting a stranger put chemicals inside their home. Naming your Approved Handler certification, and being plain about what products you use where children or pets are present, removes real worry before they ever call.

What it costs

Nothing. We build the page from what is already public about your business and send you the link. If you want it, we put it live and you pay us nothing for it. There is no card, no trial, and no fee that starts later. It sits at an address of ours, not your own domain name, and it carries one line at the bottom saying we built it.

It asks one thing of you. Once a year we send one message asking whether the details are still right, and two reminders over the month after it. If we cannot reach you, the page comes down — a page with your name and a wrong phone number on it is worse for you than no page at all. It also comes down when you ask, for any reason or none, within five New Zealand working days at the latest, and we will not ask you why.

The only thing you can pay for is changes made for you. You message us a new price, new hours, a holiday closure or a photo of the new van, and we make the change, within five New Zealand working days at the latest. That is NZ$299 for the year, and it includes your own domain name registered in your business name and email on it. No monthly fee, no minimum term, and it does not renew itself. No GST is added. The full terms are here.

If somebody else would suit you better — and for plenty of pest control businesses they would — we have listed every option we could find, with the price each company publishes on its own site: who should build your website.

Built from what is already public

We build the first version of your page from your Google Business Profile, your Facebook page, and anything else already public about your business, then send you the link. You look at it before anything happens. If you do not want it we take it down, you owe nothing, and we will not contact you about it again.

If you have not claimed your Google Business Profile yet, It matters even more for pest control than for outdoor trades, because the work happens inside someone’s home around their family, and the Approved Handler certificate is the one fact that actually addresses that worry. The walkthrough is here: how to claim your Google Business Profile in New Zealand.

Being straight with you: we build and host the website, not your Google Business Profile, because that needs a verified New Zealand address and we are not in New Zealand. The walkthrough above covers the whole process yourself; it takes about twenty minutes and it is free.


Common questions

Should my pest control website mention an Approved Handler certificate?

Yes, if you hold one. Using certain classified agrichemicals for pest control requires an Approved Handler certificate under the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act. Naming it addresses the real worry most people have about chemicals being used in their home.

What should a pest control website actually say?

The pests you deal with, the towns you cover, a phone number that gets answered, and whether you are certified for the products you use. That matters more than a paragraph about your company history.

Does this work for both rodent and insect control?

Yes. Rodent, insect and general pest control sit close enough together in how people search and call that the same page structure works for all of them.

I already have a Facebook page. Do I need a website as well?

For a lot of trades, a Facebook page covers most of what people need day to day. What it does not do well is show up when someone searches your trade and town on Google rather than on Facebook, and it can look less permanent to someone checking you out before they call. We wrote the comparison up properly here: Facebook page or website, for a New Zealand trade business. If you are not showing up in a search at all — not even for your own business name — here is why, in the order it usually happens.

How fast can I see mine?

Send us your business name and the town. We will tell you honestly whether we can build one, and if we can, we email you the link to look at. There is nothing to pay at any point for the page itself.

Not a pest control operator? See the same approach for plumbers, electricians, builders, roofers, landscapers, auto electricians, painters, plasterers, scaffolders, fencing contractors, gardeners and lawn care businesses, handyman businesses, tilers, concreters, gutter cleaning businesses, locksmiths and glaziers.

Based in a main centre? See the same approach for businesses in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Hamilton, or see every trade and city.

Ask us to build yours.

Send us your business name and the town. We will tell you honestly whether we can build one — this is one person, so we cannot build for everyone who asks. Either way there is nothing to pay.
