From City Boy To Hunter: Luke Hartnell’s Journey In Pest Control

"Facebook's the way to go, it's taken off more than I anticipated," Hartnell explains.

Originally born in Sydney, Luke Hartnell moved to Auckland as a young child before being shipped off to a boarding school in Hawke's Bay, where he says he learnt a lot about the lifestyle he now lives.

Hartnell shares his journey from being a shepherd and fencer to founding Precision Pest Control.

He delves into digital marketing strategies he has learnt as part of growing his business including utilising social media to help grow his client list.

Hartnell also talks about managing dual ventures in pest control and pet food, his sustainability efforts, and how he’s planning to get venison accredited for human consumption.
