Our approach
Locate the source
We don't just treat what you can see — we find the colony, nest or harbourage and treat from there.
Treat to NZ standards
EPA-approved, NZ-formulated insecticides applied by an Approved Handler — odourless, non-staining, safe.
Back it in writing
Every treatment carries a written warranty — from 3 months on rodents through to 5 years on borer.
World Class Pest Control is owner-operated. Owner James Lawler has been in the industry for over twenty years and knows New Zealand pests and the best methods for their eradication. The team have been providing exceptional service since 1998.
We're locals. We use local and support local business — from suppliers to subcontractors. Every technician holds a current Approved Handler's Certificate for Urban Pest Management in accordance with ERMA New Zealand (Environmental Risk Management Authority), and the products we apply are formulated to very high standards, manufactured in New Zealand, and specifically formulated for New Zealand conditions.

Frequently asked
Yes. We use NZ-made, EPA-approved insecticides specifically formulated for New Zealand conditions. Treatments are odourless and non-staining, and our technicians explain any short waiting period before children and pets re-enter the treated area — for most jobs there is no need to vacate at all.
For most pests — including the German Cockroach gel and powder treatment — no preparation is required. Where any prep is needed (heavy flea infestations or bed bugs, for example), we'll send a short checklist with your written quote.
For rodent control, cockroach gel treatment, ant baiting and most insect treatments — no. You can stay in the home. Where vacating is required for safety, your technician will tell you upfront and arrange a convenient time window.
Call us. Within the warranty period for that treatment (3 months for rodents, 4 months for flies & spiders / bed bugs, 5 months for fleas, 6 months for ants, 9 months for cockroach gel, up to 5 years for borer) we return at no extra charge to re-treat.
Fleas tend to bite around ankles and lower legs, and you'll often see pets scratching. Bed bug bites appear in clusters or lines on areas exposed during sleep, and you may notice tiny dark spots on mattress seams. If you're unsure, we offer a bed bug inspection service to confirm before any treatment.
Cash, EFTPOS, Mastercard and Visa are accepted. AfterPay is available on most treatments — talk to us when you book.
