Briarquest Pest Control is a local business offering expert pest control services throughout Scunthorpe, Grimsby, Hull and North Lincolnshire.

Our team is led by Ian Walshaw, our dedicated pest control technician and a proud National Pest Technicians Association (NPTA) member. Ian’s honoured to support members of the Scunthorpe community and provide them with expert pest control services.

Having enjoyed a varied career that includes working in the police force, ambulance service and international dog training market, Ian has experience working with people from all walks of life. He draws on this to ensure that he provides tailored support to every client, including vulnerable members of the local community, such as the elderly and differently-abled.

As well as being an experienced, RSPH level 2 certified pest controller, Ian has also been trained by the Guild Of Master Chimney Sweeps. Thanks to this extensive expereince, he has a strong understanding of the structure of chimneys and draws on this expertise when removing pests, such as bees and wasps, from these structures.

Even while working hard to remove pests from homes and businesses across Scunthorpe, Ian remains deeply committed to professional development and is always exploring new ways to remove pests safely and humanely. As part of this resolve, he has earned many qualifications that allow him and his team to use specialist equipment to get rid of pests. One recent achievement he earned was the RSPH Level 2 Award for using Aluminium Phosphide safely for the management of vertebrate pests.
