Meeting and talking to customers
Being faced with a challenge and working it out.
Replacing that nagging doubt with peace of mind.
I like being smarter than something – even if it’s an insect. (plus all of the above)
Being on the road and never stuck in a hot factory

Rowan Bate- Brisbane SOUTH |
|
Al Ferguson - Brisbane NORTH |
|
Since moving to Brisbane in 1994, Rowan has been involved in the termite business. To compliment his vast field experience, he holds Cert IV in pest management, the highest industry qualification. |
But it’s the challenge of finding termites and the passion of offering sound advice to customers that drives him.
Married, with two active school age children occupies most of his free time, but enjoys helping coach his son’s rugby team. |

|
Alan has lived in South East Queensland all his life, moving to Brisbane 19 years ago. He has a strong science background, having worked for CSIRO for 9 years as a research scientist. |
Al and (his long suffering) wife have three young children, yet he still manages to find the time to Coach a First Grade Men’s Hockey team.
Al is passionate about the termite business. He meets “lovely people” at home every day at work, and can either confirm that their home is free of termites, or in the one in five homes where active termites are found, “we can show people how to solve the problem”. |
