An enjoyable working lunch last week with Tim Bloomer at The Old Thatch Wimborne, Tim Bloomer is one of our valued sales reps for Killgerm Chemicals Ltd but sadly he will be stepping down from this role in the coming months.
Our Director Matt reflects back on their many meetings together, " I met Tim 14 years ago, in a restaurant in Poole Quay, just before I started Urban Pest Control, he has always offered his full support and been on hand with technical advice, we have shared many fun moments together during his networking events and I now consider Tim as a friend"
We would like to take the opportunity to wish Tim the best of luck in his new job role, you will be greatly missed but they will gain a wonderful asset to their team.

Defender Bird Spikes are one of our top suppliers, they offer humane, long-lasting products to prevent birds from landing and roosting on ledges and buildings. Each month Defender hold a friendly competition called "Installer of the month", They decided to introduce 3 special guest judges to this series. The third and final judge is our very own Director, Matt.

June’s Installer of the Month is officially open, and this month the judging baton is being handed to Matt Phillips from Urban Pest Control . The last but by no means least in our series of 3 guest judges 🏆🐦

Matt has been in pest control for 20 years and has been Director of Urban Pest Control for 13 years, so he knows his way around a tricky bird job.

He loves bird work because no two jobs are the same. Different sites, different problems and sometimes a clever mix of methods to get the best result.

So what will impress him?

Attention to detail, smart product choices, combined methods, safe access and, of course, those lovely little details that turn a good job into a trophy worthy one. 😄

So start posting your work with Defender Bird Spikes, let us share it on socials and let’s see who takes the trophy this month! 🏆🏆🏆

Let the judging begin. Whoop whoop! 🎉

Meet Ryan, your local Technician for Weymouth.

Ryan may be a familiar face at Urban Pest Control, you may have seen him in articles in the Blackmore Vale magazine or seen his images in exhibitions at Bournemouth Arts University but this is because Ryan isn't just a pest control technician but also a Falconer for Urban Pest Control, Ryan and his team of birds of prey are always happy to share their experiences, teach others about the role of a falconer and preserving this historic art form.
Ryan enjoys working within the Weymouth area as he always has a great view of the coast and being local himself, he understands the needs of his customers and will always try to offer them the best solution.

Meet John, your local technician for Bournemouth.

John has been a member of the Urban team for a few years now, but it still amazes him how everyday can be so different, "Bournemouth has a variety of pest issues due to the many different types of businesses in the town, one day I could be tasked with doing a routine service inspection for rodents then I'm investigating an ant issue and many pests in between, but my favourite problem to solve are wasps nests, as they come in all shapes and sizes and can also be very different from one another, such as within a loft space or outside in a tree." John doesn't just cover the Seaside towns of Bournemouth, Boscombe and Southbourne but he also offers pest control in Christchurch.

When John isn't in the Bournemouth area tackling Pest issues he is often found working out hard in the gym, John also has a keen interest in cars, and going for a strolls along the beach with his girlfriend and the dog.
