Each year in the UK, approximately 1,800 children receive a cancer diagnosis. Living with cancer is immensely challenging for anyone. For children, it's even more daunting. Their innocence, vulnerability, and resilience make their journey incredibly tough.
Yet, amidst the struggle, there is hope, courage, and the unwavering support of families, healthcare professionals, communities, and charities. We want to be a part of that.
Pestforce proudly teams up with The Give a Duck Foundation. We actively help the children’s cancer charity give a 'Chemo Duck' to every brave young fighter and their sibling.
Chemo Duck is a cute friend that helps children dealing with tough things like needles, hair loss, feeling sick, and going to the hospital. By playing with it, children feel better and learn about their cancer treatment, making it a little less scary. It reminds them they're not alone and they're still the same kids they were before cancer.
Pestforce donate four Chemo Ducks monthly. Additionally, we pledge more ducks for every 200 positive reviews.
You may spot a little yellow duck with your pest controller — in the van, snug in the tool bag, working as their apprentice, or even pinned to their uniform. These quirky mascots bring joy to our day and symbolise our link to the Chemo Duck family.

Help us spread the word far and wide and support The Give a Duck Foundation by leaving a review for your pest controller—simply ask them for the best way to do it.
