About Us

About Tim Bostock

Tim Bostock founded Eradipest in 1998 and the business is based in Chichester, West Sussex.

Having been involved in horticulture for many years, Tim noticed a constant need for pest control of one kind or another, particularly in private homes and gardens.

Typically this involved ants, wasps, moles, rabbits, rats and squirrels.

Tim studied pest control at Warwick University in 1998 and was then successfully certified by the BPCA (British Pest Control Association).

Eco-Friendly pest control

The history of Eradipest

Initial work in the first year included mole control in domestic gardens, wasp nest eradication, rabbit control including rabbit-proof fencing, ferret work and shooting.

Pest control didn’t become a full-time career for Tim overnight though, and it fitted around his day job of garden maintenance and landscape work.

Over the next 2-3 years he built up the business following recommendations from happy customers. Tim joined Checkatrade in 1999 and as the business grew he built a larger, secure storage facility for stock and equipment.

Tim continued his learning throughout this period, taking further education courses to increase his knowledge. By 2008 he needed a full-time technician to help meet demand for his services and they branched out into commercial pest control.

Since 1998 Eradipest has grown further, now employing four technicians and two office administrators. Another office was built in 2017 to accommodate the administration work and staff training using an online portal.
