Ōmokoroa pest control, from the old village to the new streets
Ōmokoroa has grown from a holiday village into a commuter town, and Stu looks after all of it: rats and mice, cockroaches, ants and spiders, from harbour-side baches to brand-new homes. The quote is free.
If Stu’s up a ladder or under a floor, the phone is still answered and he returns your call.

Before you ring
What changes the cost?
Rat or mouse, how many, how deep into the roof or under the floor the nest is, and how many bait stations the runs need. The look and the quote are free.
Can it wait?
A warm roof near food is a home they won’t leave on their own, and winter brings more of them inside. The longer they stay, the more droppings, runs and chewed wiring there are to deal with.
What happens on the visit?
Stu goes up into the roof space and under the floor with a torch, finds the runs and the nest, sets the bait stations and shows you where they’re getting in.
Ōmokoroa jobs, from old baches to new garages
First, the rodents. Building on open farmland pushes mice and rats out of their cover, and they head for the nearest garage, roof void or wall cavity. Ship rats go high, into the roof; Norway rats stay low, under the floor; mice need only a small gap. Stu tells them apart by the droppings, the runs and the damage, then treats the nest and calls back to check.
Cockroaches next. German cockroaches are the kitchen and bathroom kind, and in a house shut up between holidays they breed undisturbed. American cockroaches like the damp of drains and laundries, and the big Gisborne cockroach lives out in bark and garden timber and wanders in now and then. Stu works on the places they breed, behind appliances and inside cupboard voids, and makes a return visit to see it's worked.
New homes and gardens bring the outdoor work: ants marching in along the paving and under the doors, spiders round the eaves and window frames, and wasps building in banks and hedges over summer. Stu and the team spray and treat inside and out. Whether it's the house you live in, a holiday place or a rental, the start is the same: a look, a straight answer and a free quote. If you're away for the winter, Stu can check the place over and treat it before you're back.

Ōmokoroa: a holiday village turned commuter town
Ōmokoroa sits on the harbour side of State Highway 2 and counts as part of Greater Tauranga, with a ferry across to Matakana Island and a 19 km cycleway to the city. It began as a small rural holiday village, a boating and retirement spot, and has grown steadily since the 1960s. Part of it was made a Special Housing Area in 2016, and the town has filled out quickly since, turning from holiday spot into commuter town. Next door, Whakamārama is orchards and avocado growers.
New houses beside orchards and open farmland need a different eye from an old bach. Mice turn up in every kind of country and are common home invaders, and rats follow the same cover from the paddock to the garage. A bach left shut for weeks is quiet, which suits rats too, so the roof and the pantry both get a look when it opens up. Argentine ants are known in many parts of the Bay of Plenty, and around new homes and fresh gardens, ant trails and spider webs are worth treating early, before a colony has time to spread.
Tips and questions for Ōmokoroa
- Bach shut up for the season? Clear the pantry, block gaps under the doors and book Stu for a look before you open it up for summer.
- Building new? Ask the builder to seal round pipes and cables where they pass through the walls. Mice fit through a coin-sized gap, and it's easiest to close before the linings go on.
- Spiders round the windows or ants along the paths? Book an inside-and-out spray in spring. Stu treats the eaves, frames and garden edges where they shelter, and follows ant trails back to the nest.
Stu also works nearby in Katikati and Bethlehem. All suburbs
Questions from Ōmokoroa
Do you treat holiday baches as well as homes?
Yes. Baches, holiday homes, rentals and the houses people live in all year get the same service: Stu works out what's there, quotes free and treats it, then checks back.
We've just moved into a new house and there are ants everywhere. Can you help?
Yes. Stu follows the trails back to the nests outside and treats them there, then deals with the ones indoors. Ask about spiders at the same time and he'll quote both.
What customers say
This is our 4th time wime with Owen. I can see a huge difference especially in the amount of flies afterwards. All the dead bugs a few days later aswell. Owen is great and will always make sure to cover stuff that aint covered inside the house. He even lock our cat door so kitty cant come inside afterwards. Thanks!! Will be using again nxt year
Great experience from start to finish! From the first communication, to the friendly service, and the final result, all was seamless.
Thanks we'll be back :)
