Putting a face to the company K&O Pest Control


Recommended Posts

When you call a company you never really know who you are speaking to, I thought it would be a good idea just to give you a little insight into the owners of K&O Pest Control. A picture of them is attached.


Here are the owners and the formidable Husband & Wife team Colin & Vicki Sims.


Colin also is a pest control technician and has been working in Pest control for 9yrs and was a few points away from a distinction in the RSPH level 2 in pest management. Colin loves his job and customers have even commented on this, which gives reassurance that when you call us you will receive the best service.


Vicki also works in the shop and has been in the pest control industry for 4yrs and is not scared of any of the pests that K&O deal with. Vicki has attended rodent courses and insect courses and is very knowledgeable. Although she is mainly based in the shop, she does attend jobs with Colin as this helps when talking to customers over the telephone she can tell the customer the basic process of what to expect, when the pest controller arrives.


Colin & Vicki have been together for 20yrs and married for 13yrs. They have 2 children Kasey 18yrs & Oliver 14yrs. have you worked it out yet?? yes the K&O is named after their 2 children.


They both believe in giving a great service and get really annoyed when customers call up telling them the bad experiences they have had with another pest control firm. When Colin & Vicki first set this business up it was very important that all customers will be treated as if the pest problem was in their home, therefore ensuring 100% customer service. They believe in good old fashioned values i.e they treat people how they would like to be treated.

They are very professional and like to calm a very stressful situation down, and they do this by reassuring customers that they are in safe hands, and that no matter who you are if the pest wants to come in they will find a way in. sometimes Vicki & the children may dress up in pest costumes just to lighten things up. you can visit the facebook page to see more pictures of this. please be aware some pictures will contain images you may not want to see.


The "no pests survive, when K&O arrive" slogan, was thought up by a customer from this forum.


If you have a pest problem do give K&O Pest Control a call 8778 1557

Thank you for sharing the picture Colin! I love the idea of a pest control company being named after the kids!


I really recommend Colin - in the last ten years I have had to call on his services twice and fortunately haven't needed his help for about the last two years.


Very professional, really sorted out my mouse problem quickly and efficiently and I sincerely hope we don't need to meet again any time soon.

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
