the Murray's story

Trust in business is built on a solid foundation of experience, expertise and personal service.

When it comes to eradicating pests, trust in the results is the defining quality that sets one firm apart from the rest.

Murray Pest Control is a South Australian family-owned and operated business that has been delivering quality pest management services for almost five decades.

In the mid 1950's, Peter Scott began his pest control career in the South Australian riverland town of Renmark.  Inspired by the River Murray, the business name 'Murray Pest Control' was first registered in 1959. Peter's reputation for thoroughness and assured results spread rapidly, and  branches opened across South Australia and later the Northern Territory throughout the 60's and 70's.

With an unswerving commitment to research and development, training, quality control, environmental management and continuous improvement in customer service, Murray Pest Control now features an extensive branch network in South Australia and the Northern Territory with scores of employees and a fleet of specialised vehicles.

In this evolving story of endeavour and innovation, commitment to the highest standards has been a constant factor.

Peter Scott is still at the helm as Managing Director. Two of his sons, Trevor and Peter manage the day-to-day operations, serve as company directors and maintain the business culture that has served customers so well. Youngest son Gary joined in 2003, studying & working his way through various departments to his current role as Training Manager.  

Murray Pest Control is the name you can trust.
