History

In 2020 The Local Guys team recruited Shaun Goulding our Pest Control Divisional who had many years of experience in the Pest Control industry. In 2020 we saw people were more than ever looking to start in a low-cost, low-fee franchise that wasn't going to be affected by the coronavirus. Being an essential service & that people were home more, we saw a large increase in work due to this. For these reasons and many more, we decided to add the Pest Control Division to our already successful Test and Tag Division.
