About Us

How Pest-Clear Dorset Was Born

Small beginnings. Paul began his career in 2002 with a small local company in Bournemouth, providing pest control services to both domestic and commercial clients, as well as conducting woodworm surveys and treatments across a range of properties.

Growing experience. Paul later expanded his experience by working with a company based in Exeter, where he was responsible for servicing national accounts, food production sites, and farms throughout Dorset and Hampshire.

Enhanced skills. In 2014, he joined Rentokil Pest Control, where he spent nine years as a trusted local technician, serving customers across Bournemouth and Poole.

Pest-Clear Dorset. Now, Paul has brought his extensive experience and dedication to service into his own venture — Pest-Clear Dorset — a local company offering reliable, fairly priced pest control treatments throughout the BCP Council area and beyond.

What our customers say

Gets the job done and knows what he's doing

I woke up in the middle of the night to the terrifying sound of rats scurrying around above me in the loft. Paul came the next day to investigate. He very quickly found their entry point and went into the loft to put some bait down. He kept coming back until the problem was sorted. Not only did Paul visit three or four times, but I felt I had his support 24/7. He responded immediately to my frantic late night emails when I genuinely thought hundreds of rats were going to fall through the ceiling and eat me in my sleep! After it was clear there were no more rats, Paul set to work at filling the entry point outside. He did such a great job, you'd never know there was a hole there. Paul gets the job done and knows what he's doing. I'm incredibly grateful to him for his kindness and patience with me during such a difficult and stressful time. I hope I never need to contact him again but should the need arise, I wouldn't hesitate to get in touch with him. Highly recommended. Thank you Paul.

5 star service, would highly recommend

I had an ongoing problem with rats under my shed, I had tried other methods and another company before contacting Paul, he took his time accessing the situation & I explained I had 2 small dogs & was concerned about the increasing amount of rats we were seeing every day! Paul took his time to get a good idea of what was going & to get rid of these unwanted vermin ! He kept checking in with me & came back twice to make sure the job had been done properly & gave great advice on how to prevent this from happening again ! 5 star service would highly recommend!

Joanne G

Really took care and attention

Fantastic service from Paul. Really took care and attention to diagnose our little rodent issue with minimal fuss. Has given us some great advice on how to prevent further problems in the future too. Hope I don't need Paul's services again (in the nicest possible way) but know who I'll be calling if needed. Highly recommended.
