Installer of the Month | September | OG Pest Control Ltd

We're excited to announce that OG Pest Control has been named our Defender Installer of the Month! Their outstanding bird-proofing project at a local school demonstrates their commitment to providing effective and efficient solutions.

A struggling primary school reached out to the OG Team to address a pressing issue. Pigeons were roosting on window ledges above a classroom and playground, leaving unsightly droppings on the windows and slippery, potentially hazardous waste on the ground. This situation was creating a health and safety concern for the school community. Oscar, with his expertise in bird control, recognized the need for immediate action.

Oscar was keen to help and strategically installed two rows of Defender Wide Stainless Steel Bird Spikes bove the school's windows. This well-executed solution effectively eliminated the pigeon problem by preventing the birds from accessing the problem areas while minimizing disruption to their chosen roosting spot. The school was thrilled with the outcome and the service they received from the OG Team. In the long term, this type of installation will save the school significant costs associated with cleaning and damages caused by nesting and roosting pigeons. It has also created a much healthier and more positive learning environment for the students and staff. Well done, Team OG!

Keeping Pest Control in the Family

OG Pest Control is a family-run business based in South East London. The company's dedication to providing top-notch pest control services and their deep-rooted passion for the industry have undoubtedly contributed to their success.

The story of OG Pest Control begins with Oscar Garrett's grandfather, who introduced the family to the world of professional pest control back in 1977. His grandfather and father worked for Rentokil, and his grandfather had seven children, all of whom worked in the family business. Three of Oscar's uncles are still involved in the pest control industry today. Growing up surrounded by the industry meant Oscar's love for pest management developed at a young age. He spent countless hours learning from his grandfather and father, honing his skills and knowledge of various pests and their behaviours.

One of Oscar's most amusing bird control experiences occurred when he was just ten years old. His grandfather's company had a contract with the London Council, and they were frequently called upon to clean up a particularly pigeon-prone statue in Tooting. Despite repeated recommendations for bird proofing, the council seemed uninterested. The statue became so notorious for its avian inhabitants that Oscar and his team playfully dubbed it “Poop Head”.

A Family Legacy of Pest Management Excellence

Oscar has proudly fulfilled his lifelong dream. In October 2017, he started his own pest control company, OG Pest Control. Remembering his promise to his grandfather, "I will make you proud one day," Oscar remains committed to carrying on the family legacy of providing exceptional pest control services. OG Pest Control is a testament to the Garrett family's commitment to excellence. Oscar's brother, Elliott, is also a key member of the team. Together, they have built a successful business that prides itself on providing personalized and effective pest control solutions.

One of their areas of expertise is bird control. Oscar's early interest in bird control began when he could be found playing with posts and wire kits, and bird spikes in his garden. His meticulous nature led him to perfect the art of installation, using blue tack to secure them precisely. This attention to detail is evident in every job he undertakes. As Oscar explains, "I've always enjoyed bird proofing," Oscar says. "It's a challenging task that requires precision and attention to detail. The satisfaction of seeing a well-executed bird proofing job is unmatched."

Beyond their technical skills, OG Pest Control is known for their friendly and approachable demeanour. Their dedication to customer satisfaction shines through in the countless positive reviews they've earned. With over 400 five-star reviews on Google, it's clear that OG Pest Control consistently delivers exceptional service.

We're more than just a pest control company," Oscar explains. "We're a family that cares about our community. We aim to provide exceptional service and build lasting relationships with our clients.

Why do OG Pest Control use Defender Bird Spikes as their supplier?

I discovered Defender Spikes through social media and am so glad I did. I was sent a free sample pack and thought I'd give them a try. You can't go wrong with trying new things, and now I won't use anything else other than Defender Spikes. Their products are high quality, but what truly sets them apart is the supportive community and family you become a part of. The team is always helpful and enthusiastic about highlighting your hard work, which is incredibly refreshing. You won't find this level of service and support from any other spike supplier.

As OG Pest Control continues to grow and succeed, it's clear that their dedication to the industry, their passion for pest management, and their commitment to customer satisfaction will continue to drive their success for years to come.
