Founded in Cork, for Cork.

Cork Rat Control was founded in 2011 by Michael Hennessy, a former Environmental Health Officer with Cork City Council. After fifteen years inspecting food premises and writing up the same pest-control failures over and over, he decided to start the firm he kept wishing existed.

The premise has not changed since: we do one species, in one city, properly. No franchise. No call-centre. No upselling you on a bee removal or a wasp nest you don't have.

Today we are a team of five technicians, all PCS-licensed and BPR-trained, working out of a small unit just off Patrick Street. We treat roughly twelve to fifteen properties a week — enough to stay sharp, few enough that the boss still attends every emergency call-out himself.
