Deadliest Pests Down Under: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

This new and exclusive series follows a group of brave (and occasionally hapless) British pest controllers as they take on the challenge of spending a summer season in Australia.

For pest controllers Down Under, every day is a brush with death and it's getting even more dangerous as the continent's critters are winning the battle. So desperate for help, they have called in the cavalry from the motherland. Nine brave Brits will be matched with their Australian counterparts as they leave the cold streets of the UK behind, swapping mild moles for psychotic possums, baby bed bugs for super-sized spiders and mundane moths for killer crocs.
