Giving Pests the Flick
SkillsOne meets Gary Stephenson, from Flick Pest Control.
We find out about the pest control industry, opportunities within it for young people and what a typical day involves as he inspects a typical Australian home for termites and timber pests.
We follow him on inspection of one property and learn just what makes houses more vulnerable to pests.
