Walkers Pest Control – Reliable, Professional, Effective

Your Local Pest Control Specialist

For more than 20 years, Tony Walker has helped homeowners and businesses throughout Paerata, Franklin and Auckland tackle unwanted pests. As owner-operator of Walkers Pest Control, Tony combines specialist training, practical experience and dependable personal service.

His career began with a New Zealand dairy company that secured a major overseas contract requiring a pest control programme. Already qualified in Food Hygiene, Tony undertook specialist training to manage the programme. What began as an additional responsibility eventually became his own business.

Today, his expertise spans pest management, microbiology, food hygiene and quality assurance.

Rat, Mouse & Insect Pest Control

From rats in the roof and mice in the pantry to ants, cockroaches, flies, spiders, fleas, borer, possums and wasps, Walkers Pest Control provides effective solutions for household and commercial pests.

Seasonal changes bring different challenges. Rodents and ants often become troublesome during colder months, while flies and spiders are more active in summer.

Tony understands these patterns, identifying the causes of infestations, applying appropriate treatments and helping prevent future problems.

Commercial Pest Control Auckland

Alongside residential services, Tony provides preventative pest management for commercial customers.

For businesses involved in food production, storage and handling, pest control is essential for maintaining hygiene, protecting stock and meeting operational requirements.

Tony's dairy industry background provides valuable expertise in food safety and quality assurance. His preventative maintenance programmes help businesses identify risks early and maintain effective pest management standards.

Qualified Pest Control Technician

Pest management continues to evolve as research delivers improved products, technologies and treatment methods.

Tony attends up to ten industry training days annually and follows research from universities and specialist institutions.

A registered pest control technician and member of the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ), Tony holds a Trade Certificate in Food Hygiene, with additional training in dairy microbiology, quality control and quality assurance.

Responsible Pest Management

Tony has a longstanding interest in environmentally responsible pest control, including biodegradable products and alternative treatment methods.

He selects treatments according to the pest, property and surrounding environment, recognising that effective pest management involves more than eliminating an immediate infestation.

Understanding how pests enter buildings, what attracts them and how to prevent their return is central to his approach.

His owner-operated business offers the personal attention, accountability and practical knowledge developed through more than two decades serving local households and businesses.
