FOR the past 18 years, Stephen Liu has focused so much attention on his company that it came to a point when he realised he had to sit back and take stock, or else it would run his life entirely.
At 19, he had begun a career in pest control and had opened his own business five years later. The company, called Ridpest, had enjoyed a gradual but steady growth since its inception in 1985, mainly due to the method they used. It is a baiting system that does not use poisons or vapours and thus does not cause much inconvenience to customers compared to the conventional methods of pest removal.
