About ViroPest
THIS IS OUR STORY
SYDNEY - WE HAVE A PROBLEM (2012)
When we found tiny holes in our favourite clothes, we knew something was up. Back in 2012, we moved to sunny Sydney, Australia, and before we knew it, our wardrobe was under attack from clothes moths. And as if that wasn't enough, we also had to deal with some seriously uncool "guests" like cockroaches and those massive Huntsman spiders! 😱🕷️
The real wake-up call came when we found our daughter's beloved teddy bear had suffered insect damage. We couldn't let our family's precious memories be destroyed by pests, so we took matters into our own hands. 🧸💔
We dove into DIY pest control, trying out loads of products to strike the right balance between cost and effectiveness. 🧪💸
Before long we were helping other expats arriving in Sydney, offering advice of what products to use and how to use them.
BACK IN THE UK (2015)
When we moved back to the UK in 2015, we took our passion for pest control and created a little business operating from our dining room at home - primarily to generate a small income and avoid having to pay for childcare.
We started out small, selling at market stalls and to family and friends - and gradually we started to build a network of suppliers and business partners that allowed us to add more products to our inventory.
VIROPEST WAS BORN (2019)
As we added more products, we started to run out of space in the dining room, as well as the garage, and so took on a small storage unit. This felt like quite big step at the time, but with it our confidence grew and we created the ViroPest brand that you see on many of our products today.
We're all about sharing our knowledge and experience, and we've kept testing new products and cutting-edge pest control technologies to make sure we're offering the best home solutions out there. 🏡
So, come join us at ViroPest! We're here to help make your home a comfy, pest-free zone, one little critter at a time! 🎉🔒✨
