Paul Bates

One of the original founders of Cleankill Pest Control is retiring after building the company into one of the South East’s leading pest control businesses.

Paul Bates joined Cleankill in 1997 after a 16-year career with Rentokil where he progressed from technician to sales, service and branch management. Cleankill was founded with a clear aim: to provide high-quality pest control delivered by well-trained, motivated staff who genuinely care about customers. The directors wanted to build a company that they would want to work for.

Cleankill Pest Control is proud to announce its Managing Director Paul Bates has been shortlisted as a finalist at the Institute of Directors (IoD) London & South Director of the Year Awards 2020.

Shrieks of horror can be heard across the Kent, Surrey and Sussex as people succumb to the Autumn weather and dig out their coveted cashmere jumpers - only to find them full of holes.

While precious pashminas were stored away in cupboards, they were providing a summer time feast for the dreaded clothes moth or Tineola bisselliella. What makes the situation even more heartbreaking is that very few household insurance policies cover damage caused by pests in the home.
