After many years in the forest industry, long-time South Delta resident Randy Bilesky decided to start a new venture – and Go Green Pest Control was born.
Over his 17 years in Tsawwassen, Bilesky had noticed there was little consistency with how other companies dealt with pests. After taking the B.C. government training and certification program, starting Delta’s only locally owned and operated pest control company seemed like a natural next step.
“I’ve always had my own business,” he said. “I’m an entrepreneur.”
Bilesky said living in South Delta for close to two decades has given him first-hand knowledge about the pest problems local home and business owners encounter, adding he can provide environmentally friendly and humane removal techniques that control pests without impacting surroundings.
Bilesky said one thing he’s on the lookout for is the impressive fire ant, which is currently spreading across the Lower Mainland and has been seen in Richmond.
“Once it comes to Delta, it’s going to stay,” he said, adding they are hard to control.
Bilesky said he’s also noted a lot of rats in Ladner.
“It’s an epidemic. It’s unbelievable.”
