1967 to 2021
Ecopest is a family run business established by Frank Vetter in 2002. Frank developed and trained highly skilled teams establishing a national footprint in Gauteng, KwaZulu natal and Cape Town offering an arranging services and expertise to multinational franchises within the hospitality, manufacturing and FMCG sector.
Tragically we lost Frank in 2021 due to Covid 19 complications, however he left behind two loving sons Reece and Jarryd Vetter as well as excellent business partners in the national footprint and an amazing team of dedicated Ecopestians around the country to carry his name forward and honour his legacy into the future.
