Pests Birds and Bugs Ltd is a family-run pest control business based in Ringwood, covering Hampshire and Dorset including the New Forest National Park. The business deals with rats, mice, moles, wasps, fleas, flies, ants, woodworm, bees, cockroaches, moths, ladybirds, squirrels, rabbits, foxes and pigeons. It also offers bird proofing and loft cleaning.

Peter Cherry, a Biology graduate, runs the business with his wife Elzabe. Peter was born in Christchurch and grew up in Burley. Elzabe was born in South Africa and studied at the University of Pretoria. They returned to the New Forest in 2016 to work with the already established family business. Both live on the edge of the New Forest with two Labradors.

The business uses pest eradication and control methods that protect the environment and non-target species. Work begins with an inspection to find where pests are entering and nesting. Treatments follow, such as bait stations, traps and powders. A second visit checks the results. The business works within strict regulations governing pesticide use.

Pests Birds and Bugs Ltd covers Ashurst, Netley Marsh, Colbury and surrounding hamlets. It handles residential and commercial properties, including shops, cafes and hospitals. Domestic call-outs are charged from £95 plus VAT, and commercial call-outs from £105 plus VAT. The business works Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, excluding bank holidays.
