About Me Your Local Pest Controller
I'm Joe Turner, and for the past seven years I've lived in Oxfordshire with my wife, daughter, and our two Labradors, Rolo and Ted. I grew up in Cornwall, spent time in Buckinghamshire, and eventually settled in Upper Heyford, not far from Banbury, where my wife's family have lived for generations. Oxfordshire feels genuinely like home, and Banbury is a town I know well, not just somewhere I pass through for work.
Before pest control, I worked in agriculture from the moment I left school. That gave me a solid grounding in practical problem-solving, hard graft, and keeping sites safe and properly managed, all of which carried straight over into this trade. I've now spent more than 15 years in pest control, working across domestic and commercial properties, with particular experience in food safety sites alongside a broad range of domestic work.
What keeps this job interesting after 15 years is the variety. No two jobs in Banbury are ever quite the same, and I get to meet different people all the time. I especially enjoy tackling rodent and crawling insect problems, because I understand the stress and worry they cause, and there's real satisfaction in putting things right and handing someone back their peace of mind.
Customers often tell me they value my experience, my knowledge, and the fact that I genuinely care about doing the job properly. I take pride in being respectful, honest, reliable, and punctual, and I believe in giving straightforward advice you can actually trust, not a sales pitch.
Outside of work, you'll usually find me spending time with family and friends, out with the dogs, or fishing when I get the chance, along with the odd barbecue and a bit of home brewing.
I've held an RSPH Level 2 qualification since 2009, and I've kept building on that through ongoing CPD. I'm now a BPCA Certified Technical Inspector, which means the advice and treatment you get is grounded in properly current industry knowledge, not guesswork.

My Pest Control Process in Banbury
You want to know exactly what happens once you pick up the phone. Here's the process you can expect, whether it's a single wasp nest or an ongoing commercial contract in Banbury.
Step 1: You Call, I Listen
You get straight through to me, not a call centre. I'll ask a few quick questions about what you've noticed, your property, and how far things seem to have gone, so I arrive prepared rather than guessing.
Step 2: A Proper Look Around
When I arrive at your Banbury home or business, you get a thorough inspection, inside and out, to establish exactly what you're dealing with, where it's coming from, and how far it's spread.
Step 3: A Plan Built Around Your Property
Whether you're in a canalside cottage, a modern estate on the edge of town, or running a commercial kitchen near the town centre, your property gets a treatment plan built specifically around it, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Step 4: Treatment Carried Out Properly
Using industry-approved products and equipment, you get treatment carried out safely and effectively, whether that's baiting, spraying, trapping, proofing, or nest removal, always aimed at solving the actual cause.
Step 5: Advice on Keeping It From Coming Back
Sorting what's there right now is only half the job. You'll get clear, practical advice on how the pests got in and what to do at your Banbury property to stop it happening again.
Step 6: Checking Back In
On many jobs, you get a follow-up visit to confirm everything's fully cleared, along with ongoing advice if anything crops up again.

Pest Control Services in Banbury
Rat Control Banbury
If you've spotted gnaw marks, droppings, or burrows near the garden fence or by outbuildings, you're likely dealing with rats, a common problem in Banbury properties close to the Cherwell, the canal, and allotments, where easy access and food sources draw them in.
You get a full survey to identify entry points and nesting areas, professional baiting or trapping, and proofing advice to keep rats from returning, whether it's your garden, shed, or a commercial site anywhere in Banbury.
Seen signs of rats around your Banbury property? Call Joe on 01295 559 035 for same-day help.
Mouse Control Banbury
Mice only need the smallest gap to get indoors, which makes both Banbury's older terraced housing and its newer estates equally vulnerable. Scratching in the loft, droppings in cupboards, or gnawed food packaging are all signs you're not imagining things.
You get thorough mouse control combining targeted baiting and trapping with proofing recommendations around pipework, airbricks, and door thresholds, so the problem actually stops rather than just quietens down.
Hearing scratching at night in Banbury? Call Joe on 01295 559 035.
Wasp Nest Removal Banbury
A wasp nest tucked into a loft, garage, or shed can grow from a handful of wasps to several thousand remarkably quickly through spring and summer. Trying to deal with it yourself without the right protective equipment is genuinely dangerous.
You get a fast, safe wasp nest removal service, usually treated the same day it's booked, with nests typically clearing within 24 to 48 hours, whether you're in a Banbury garden or a unit on one of the town's industrial estates.
Found a wasp nest in Banbury? Call Joe on 01295 559 035 for fast, safe removal.
Ant Control Banbury
Ants making their way into your Banbury kitchen looking for food and water is a common warm-weather issue, and while a few might seem harmless, an established nest can quickly become a genuine nuisance.
You get the nest location and entry points identified around your property, targeted treatment aimed at the colony itself rather than just the ants you can see, and advice on stopping them returning.
Ants in your Banbury kitchen? Call Joe on 01295 559 035.
Cockroach Control Banbury
If you run a café, restaurant, or food business in Banbury, you'll know cockroaches are more than a nuisance, they're a real risk to your reputation and your food hygiene compliance. They thrive in warm, damp spots such as behind kitchen equipment and around drainage.
You get discreet, thorough cockroach treatment for domestic and commercial properties across Banbury, dealing with infestations at every life stage, plus hygiene and proofing advice to help protect your food hygiene rating.

Bed Bug Treatment Banbury
Unexplained bites, small blood spots on the sheets, or a faint sweet odour around the bed can point to bed bugs, often introduced through travel, secondhand furniture, or shared laundry, and an issue that's become more common in Banbury's rented and shared housing.
You get treatment that targets bed bugs and their eggs across every stage of the life cycle, covering mattresses, furniture, and skirting boards, along with practical advice on preventing reinfestation if you manage a multi-let property.
Dealing with bed bugs in Banbury? Call Joe on 01295 559 035 for confidential, effective treatment.
Flea Treatment Banbury
A pet bringing fleas indoors can turn into a full infestation in carpets and soft furnishings surprisingly fast, and it's a problem Banbury households with cats and dogs run into regularly, especially through the warmer months.
You get flea treatment covering carpets, upholstery, and pet areas, breaking the life cycle at egg, larval, and adult stages, along with advice on ongoing pet treatment so it doesn't come straight back.
Fleas taken hold at your Banbury home? Call Joe on 01295 559 035.
Moth Treatment Banbury
Small holes appearing in clothes, carpets, or furnishings are usually the first sign of a moth problem, and it's the larvae rather than the moths themselves causing the damage by feeding on natural fibres, often unnoticed until it's already done.
You get targeted moth treatment across Banbury, with infestation sources tracked down in wardrobes, carpets, and storage areas, plus advice on protecting your belongings going forward.
Noticed moth damage in your Banbury home? Call Joe on 01295 559 035 today.
Squirrel Control Banbury
Movement in the loft that sounds heavier than mice is often grey squirrels, a common issue in Banbury properties near green spaces such as Spiceball Park or the wooded areas on the edge of town. Left alone, squirrels can cause real structural damage by gnawing timber, cables, and insulation.
You get trapping and removal, entry points into your loft or roof space identified, and proofing advice to stop squirrels finding their way back in.
Squirrels in your Banbury loft? Call Joe on 01295 559 035 for expert removal.
Pigeon & Bird Control Banbury
Pigeons and other nuisance birds causing mess, blocked guttering, or noise around a Banbury commercial building or roof space are a problem that tends to get worse the longer it's ignored.
You get humane bird control and proofing, including netting, spiking, and access-point management, tailored to both older and newer properties across Banbury while staying compliant with wildlife protection rules.
Struggling with pigeons or nuisance birds in Banbury? Call Joe on 01295 559 035.
