About Frontier Pest Solutions
A Peshawar pest management company founded by an entomologist with 17+ years of experience controlling malaria, dengue, leishmaniasis and other disease vectors in public health programmes.
Our mission
To bring the standards of international public health entomology to homes, businesses and institutions in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa: identify the pest correctly, choose the right method, use pesticides responsibly, and help customers prevent problems from returning.
Much pest control in Pakistan is still done by guesswork: the same spray for every problem, often too much chemical and no follow-up. Frontier Pest Solutions was started to offer a scientific alternative.
