OUR STORY

IT’S WHERE WE’VE COME FROM

Contego was founded in early 2004 by CEO Michael Taylor. The then 18-year-old entrepreneur began his career working as an animal trainer on feature films including the Harry Potter series at their London studios. 

After several years in London, Michael decided to move back to the North East of England to set up his business focusing on pest and bird control. Michael gained the support of the Prince’s Trust who provided him with a £1500 business loan, a £500 grant, and the services of a mentor for 12 months.

Since 2004, Contego has grown into one of the leading National Pest Control business in the UK, with expansion to offices in Aberdeen and London, and have built a blue-chip client base we are very proud of. 

We like to do things a little different; our diverse approach to business has seen exciting growth and has helped to ensure we are fast becoming the number one choice National Pest Control provider across multiple industries. We have achieved this success though innovation, delivery and installing strong customer focused values that our customers recognise and value.

The launch of these exciting brands will enable us to give our customers the option to choose from a number of customisable solutions, giving the customer full control and flexibility while still providing excellent customer service that Contego have built their remarkable reputation on. 

2020, also marks the launch of our Contego Smart Pest Control delivery model which is set to revolutionise Pest Control service delivery, our risk focused reporting and real time customer dashboards giving our customers multisite compliance at their fingertips.

After hearing rats scratch around in the loft for the last couple of weeks I decided to call a pest control company. I found Contego Home Pest on Google and used their website to pay for a 2 part treatment to get rid of the rats. After making the payment on the website, I was called back within the next hour by a lovely lady called Gillian, who was able to help me make sure I had requested the correct treatment for my problem and she booked in a technician to see me the very next day. Shane the tech arrived on time and was lovely, inspected the loft and the rest of the house and I was horrified to find they had also been in my kitchen the little buggers. Anyway, Shane laid traps and treated the house and said he would be back at the end of the week, which he was and took away the rats. Happy to report that rats are now gone and I am no longer waking up to scratching on the ceiling of my bedroom.

My Rotti Henry discovered a wasp nest at the bottom of the garden and unfortunately was stung by one of the wasps, but luckily after a trip to the vets he was ok and just a little sore. Contacted Contego Home Pest after finding their website online, and got through to a lovely girl called Ellie who quickly arranged for my wasp nest to be removed the following day. The tech that came round was lovely and removed the wasp very quickly and also checked for any any other nest in the garden. Henry is now happy playing back in the garden minus the wasps.

After having a few pest control companies out for a bedbug problem and getting nowhere I was recommended to contact Contego with a friend who had used them for his B&B. After several failed attempts, I wasn’t hopeful, but Michael was very knowledgeable and help me understand the problem I was having. As it had been left so long due the failed attempts of the other pest companies Michael did have to come back multiple times rather than the initial 2 appointments, but the additional appointments were a very reasonable cost and Michael always showed me what he was doing on each visit. I felt I was in safe hands all the time and happy to report that 6 months after Michael’s last visit I am still bedbug free but do miss my chats with Michael.

We had seagulls nesting on our roof for the last couple of years, but this year they became very aggressive and were swooping down on us at any chance they got. I also had a baby this year and the constant squawking would wake my baby up. I contacted Contego after having used them for my business before and they came out a few days later and removed the gulls and nests and bird proofed my roof. Happy to report that the seagulls didn’t come back and I now get a little extra sleep in the morning.

Saw a mice run across the living room and the following night he had a friend. Found Contego Home Pest online and contacted the team. A tech was sent over the following week at a convenient time for me and my house was inspected and traps laid down safely as I have 3 dogs and a cat. A week later they came back to remove the dead mice and happy to report 2 weeks later I haven’t seen anymore mice.

Found a wasp next in the loft. Ran council and was told there was a 2 month wait. Contacted Contego, they came out the following week as requested and removed the nest quickly and were even cheaper than the council. Definitely recommend.
