About Us

Pest Control Solutions Ltd

Pest Control Solutions Ltd is a startup family business with over 20 years experience in the professional pest control industry. Our primary focus is to develop safer, better targeted and more environmentally conscious pest control solutions for homes and businesses. Launched in 2024, our first product is the Kerminator® Wasp Lance and is designed to bridge the gap between current DIY wasp nest treatments, and the application devices pest control professionals use out in the field.

Industry Recognition

At Pest Control Solutions Ltd, we don’t just manage pests; we redefine how the industry handles them. Since our launch in 2024, we have focused our expertise on a single goal: perfecting the way wasp nests are treated through smart engineering, a regard for the safety of our customers, and a commitment to reducing the environmental impact of excessive insecticide use.

Our commitment to disrupting the status quo was recognized almost immediately. In early 2025, our flagship innovation, the Kerminator®, was named a finalist in two categories at the prestigious DIY Week Awards.

Building on that national momentum, we were later honored with the SME News Southern Enterprise Award for 'Most Innovative Pest Control Tool 2025'. For a company in its first two years of operation, these accolades serve as a powerful validation of our singular focus and the impact we have already made.

James Kerman - Creator of the Kerminator®

As a professional pest controller, I treat in excess of 500 wasp nests every season. Many of my customers have wasp nests every year but an increasing proportion call me after they have used DIY powders and foams that have not worked. The familiar sight of excessive spillages of insecticidal dust in roof gutters, over tiles and on patio slabs when I arrive at residential properties has bothered me for many years. And with social media increasingly awash with amateur films featuring home and business owners balancing precariously on ladders to treat their own nests with a variety of homemade application devices, I knew there was a better way.

So I embarked on a 5 year product design journey to bring the Kerminator® Wasp Lance to market - a DIY wasp nest treatment device that anyone can use to safely, accurately and quickly treat their own wasp nest like a professional.

Property management companies, farmers, holiday home owners, trades such as roofers, electricians and window cleaners, as well as private homeowners are all part of a growing network of Kerminator® customers who want to treat their own wasp nests, and save themselves both time and money in the long run.

The Kerminator®: One Tool, Total Precision

The Kerminator® Wasp Lance is the heart of our company. Rather than offering a broad catalogue of generic products, we have dedicated ourselves to the development of this pioneering, high-performance tool.

An Innovative Approach: The Kerminator® represents a complete rethink of traditional treatment methods, prioritising precision, reach, and the safety of the user.

Mission-Driven Design: Our awards are a direct testament to our mission—proving that one intelligently designed tool can transform an entire sector by making the treatment of problem wasp nests more effective and more environmentally responsible.

We are proud of our award-winning start and remain dedicated to setting the gold standard for wasp nest treatment through the continued success of the Kerminator®.

Today, Pest Control Solutions Ltd continues to operate as a registered UK company (Company No: 409499459). We are proud to ship all of our orders from our base in Kent, ensuring our customers receive the personal touch that started this journey.
