Do you service my area

If you're in Timaru, Temuka, Geraldine, Pleasant Point, Fairlie, Lake Tekapo, Twizel or anywhere across South Canterbury and the Mackenzie, yes. Not sure? Just call David and he'll tell you straight.

Who actually shows up?

David. Always David. There's no team, no subcontractors and no surprises. When you book The Exterminator, you get the same person every time.

Do you do one-off jobs or regular treatments?

Both. Some problems need a single visit, others need ongoing maintenance to stay on top of. David will tell you honestly which one your situation calls for.

What pests do you treat?

Rodents, wasps, spiders, ants, cockroaches, silverfish, flies and most crawling or flying pests you'll find in South Canterbury properties. If you're not sure, just describe what you're seeing and David will figure it out.

Is it safe for kids and pets?

David uses treatments appropriate for the situation and will always let you know what's been applied, where, and how long to keep people and animals clear if needed.

Unwanted by the pests, but the most wanted by homeowners. Wasp, Rodent, Spider Pest control Timaru

When the pests moved in, they didn't know who they were dealing with. David Curry knows South Canterbury properties inside out. He started The Exterminator because too many people were getting messed around by big companies sending different guys every time, quoting for things that didn't need doing, and charging accordingly. So he kept it simple. One bloke, shows up when he says he will, sorts the problem, and doesn't flannel you about it.

Holiday Home Pest Control,
Mackenzie & Lake Tekapo

Holiday homes around Lake Tekapo, Twizel and the Mackenzie Basin sit empty for weeks at a time. Pests know it. Rodents move into walls, wasps build under decks, and by the time you arrive for the long weekend, something's already made itself comfortable.

David runs scheduled maintenance days through the Mackenzie, covering multiple properties in a single dedicated run. Not one-off callouts but regular planned visits that keep on top of problems before they become expensive ones. One call sets it up.

Holiday homes and baches left unoccupied between seasons
Airbnb and short-term rental properties
Remote or rural sections with outbuildings and sheds

What We exterminate

From the obvious stuff to the sneaky little freeloaders hiding where you can’t see them, we handle the pests that don’t belong in homes, rentals, sheds, or workplaces. If it crawls, scurries, chews, or nests where it shouldn’t, we’ll figure out what’s going on and deal with it in a way that makes sense for the property

Rodent Extermination

Rats and mice don't pay rent, but they're very comfortable in your walls. David finds where they're getting in, deals with the ones already there, and makes sure they don't send their mates back. Serving homes and businesses across Timaru, Temuka

and Pleasant Point.

Crawling Pest Extermination

Cockroaches, ants, silverfish... if it has too many legs and lives in your kitchen, it's overstayed its welcome. We identify what's crawling around where it shouldn't be and show it the door. Permanently. Available across Timaru, Washdyke and surrounding South Canterbury properties.

3

Spider Extermination

A few spiders outside? Fine. A web in every corner and one dropping onto your face at 2am? That's our cue. We clear them out and treat the spots they keep coming back to. Covering Timaru, Geraldine, Fairlie and everything in between.

Flying & Biting Pest Extermination

Wasps that built a nest in your shed roof. Flies that found something they like in your walls. Mosquitoes that think your deck is their deck. We deal with all of it before it ruins your summer. Servicing Timaru, Lake Tekapo, Fairlie and across the Mackenzie.
