During a recent interview with Malta Daily, the mind behind The Exterminator brand Arnold Sciberras told us that the project started well over 20 years ago. Sciberras revealed that, him being an environmentalist at heart and a student of natural history, he always saw that Malta had a need for mature and professional pest management which seeks to educate the people whilst caring for the country’s biodiversity.

Sciberras outlined how he has worked locally and internationally, eventually setting up his own business. The Exterminator joined forces Degiorgio Vassallo Ventures Limited, transforming from a “one man show”, as Sciberras called it, to a more professional, more effective brand.

“We have always kept science at the forefront as a company”, Sciberras said, as he argued the importance of approaching a project holistically, with a host-specific approach. The host-specific approach means that when faced with a problem, they do not simply tackle it with whatever chemical is available but tailor the project to make the least impact to the surrounding environment.

The Exterminator boss outlined how the way you handle a casual intruder or pest problem makes a huge difference. First, to control the problem by exterminating the pest completely from the locality and second, to approach the problem with as little cruel and barbaric means as possible. Such means is not only cruel, but also inefficient, as pests who witness other species suffering, they will avoid the area at all costs.

Sciberras stated that, thanks to the current team, there are no limits to The Exterminator’s growth and development, highlighting that they constantly travel and conduct research to ultimately improve their service and conduct with the least cruelty possible.
