Safe, professional pest control across Dunedin

Rodents spread disease, damage food stores, and can keep you awake at night with their activity in walls and ceilings. We provide both toxic and non-toxic control options, including bait stations that are safe around children and pets. For ongoing protection, we also offer rodent control programmes used by cafes, restaurants, factories, and homes across Otago.

Spiders are one of the most common household pests in Dunedin. Our motorised spray system ensures complete coverage of your home or building, reaching every nook and cranny. The treatments are long-lasting, safe when applied, and effective against a range of spiders common in Otago.

Borer beetles can quietly eat away at your home’s timber framing, leaving small holes and piles of frass as signs of damage. We use proven chemical treatments to protect your property from further infestation and keep your timber strong.

Wasps, cluster flies, slugs, and other insects can cause harm to people, pets, and property. We can destroy wasp nests quickly (often within 12 hours of treatment) and provide targeted solutions for other insect problems.

Pest birds such as pigeons can damage buildings, contaminate food areas, and become a health hazard. We are licensed to use both chemical and non-toxic bird control methods, as well as bird-proofing systems for long-term prevention.

Rabbits can devastate pasture and crops, especially in Otago’s rural areas. We offer poisoning, pindone baiting, and large-scale rabbit eradication programmes — including shooting where required. Follow-up monitoring is part of our service to ensure populations stay under control.

Possums damage native bush, crops, and carry diseases such as TB. DM Holdings has carried out possum eradication across tens of thousands of hectares in the Lower South Island. We use a mix of poisoning, trapping, and shooting to get results, always with environmental and safety standards front of mind.

Ferrets and stoats are unwanted pests that can cause havoc around your home. Rural property owners with chickens will undoubtedly know the problems they can cause. In the last 15 years, D M Holdings have covered over 300,000 hectares of the lower South Island conducting Ferret Trapping Surveys for Tb vector management for the Animal Health Board (now TB Free NZ). Using a range of trapping techniques we can remove these unwanted pests.

Feral pigs, deer, wallabies, and goats can cause major damage to rural properties. Our team has the skills and equipment, both on the ground and from the air, to remove these pests and protect farmland and native bush.
