New pest control business in Moray

Trading under the name, DKA Environmental Pest Control and Hygiene Services, Dave Archer deals with control of all types of pests from rodents, ants and cluster flies to cockroaches, wasps and the occasional fox.

From domestic residents to commercial businesses and the public sector, his business is also a licensed carrier of controlled waste and sanitary waste collection which benefits premises such as hotels and restaurants. Dave said: “DKA Environmental has won many new contracts this year and since winter has arrived I have been busier than ever as this is the time of year that a variety of small animals and insects seek refuge in our homes and places of work. The support I have received from HIE Moray has been essential in getting the business up and running in as short a time as possible.”
