Pest Control

Pest Control combines simulation with turn-based strategy. You play as Lenny, an exterminator who takes on pests that can attack when he is alone with them. Across story and other assignments, you neutralize or capture pests, chase them, remove them by whatever method you choose and clean up afterward.

Missions and locations

The game has 87 missions across story, side and adventure tasks, set in 39 locations. You begin working in a district of Cherryhood and gain access to other parts of the city as your progress and reputation grow. New areas offer better-paid orders and more interesting items to find. Missions take you through homes, hotels, factories, laboratories, warehouses, villas, ruined apartments and camping sites.

Build your equipment

A laboratory and workshop at your office let you create and modify machines, traps, sprays and weapons. You find materials in stores and during missions, then use them to improve your equipment. Your arsenal ranges from a hammer to a remote-controlled robot, and you can choose different methods to deal with each pest, including traps, a swatter or a vacuum cleaner. Six sprays can remove impurities or weaken opponents.

Face different pests

There are 24 kinds of pests, from rats to shape-shifting raccoons. Each requires a different approach, and many have a much stronger, more dangerous steroid-enhanced version. After a job, you may need to remove excrement, lairs, nests and corpses.

Improve your headquarters

You return to a base that you can develop over time, with a day-and-night system where time is money. Expand rooms including the gym, laboratory and scrapper to gain new bonuses. A skill tree lets you develop Lenny as a scientist and engineer and improve his passive skills.

Game modes

Alongside story missions and regular tasks, the game includes adventure, terror and tower defense modes.
