Location
You can access Pest Control on the south part of the void knight outpost island. You can get to the void knight outpost by taking a boat from Port Sarim (south of Falador). You can enter the Pest Control mini game by crossing the Gangplank.
Basics
Once you're on the lander you see how much people entered (green), how long to the next departure (in white) and the amount of pest control points (in cyan). Once 25 people have entered the game will start (or if 5 people entered and when the departure time is 0).
The goal of the game is to destroy all portals before the Void Knight in the center is killed or if the Void Knight survives for 20 minutes.
You need hit atleast a total of 50 damage to get a pest point. If you're having problems getting this attack the monsters to make sure you hit enough.
Interface
Their is some usefull info in the screen. In the left side you'll see (going from top to bottom) the hitpoints from the Void Knight, the total damage you've done and on the bottom you'll see the time left.
Note: You need to hit atleast 50 in one game to get a pest point.
On the top right you'll see the hitpoints of the portals (locations from left to right) west, east, south-east and the most right: south-west.
Tactics
Attacking
When you attack your goal is to destroy all portals. When you spawn at the begin of the game it's best to start by attacking the west or east portal (close the gate when everybody is through).
Tip: Use a dragon dagger p, p+ or p++ to poison the portals.
If you attack a portal it's very important to attack the spinners because spinners heal the portals. If you watch out for spinners and have a group of 7 or 8 people you should be able to destroy the portals easy.
Once you've destroyed portal go to the south to the next portal. Then go to the other side and destroy the portal their. After that most likely all portals are destroyed but if not continue by moving north to the last.
Defending
When you defend your goal is to defend the Void Knight and preventing monsters to be entering the camp.
Tip: Use prayer to make sure you survive longer.
Defending the Void Knight
Stand by the Void Knight and attack all monsters getting close to the Void Knight.
When gates are left open you should close them. The gates can be destroyed by the ravager. You can repair the gates by cutting a log and using and repairing the gate (hammer and hatchet required).
Defending the Gates
Like when defending the Void Knight you should try to close the gates when they are closed.
It's best to use ancient magicks or melee here. If you want to use ranged you should go on the towers near the walls.
Monsters
Their are alot of monsters in the Pest Controls. Most feared for attackers are the spinners and for the defenders the shifters.

Best Pest Control Worlds
The best way to get a good pest control world is using the Swift Switch chat.

/join #rspc
/join #PC-elites
Rewards
If you destroyed all 4 portals or the Void Knight survived for 20 minutes and have atleast hit a total of 50. You'll be awarded with a void knight commedation point and an amount of counts that's calculated combat*10.
You can use your void knight commedation points at the void knight. Their you can get experience for combat skills (attack, defence, strength, hitpoints, prayer, ranged and magic), seeds, herbs, minerals or void knight armour.
The amount of experience you'll get is calculated like this: (skill*skill)/6=x and for prayer (skill*skill)/12=x. If you use 100 tickets in one time you'll get the answer of the other formula times 1.1. (x*1.1) (that's +10%)
Note: You need to be level 25 of the skill where you want to get a reward for (not only for exp but also for herbs, minerals and seeds).
Failure
If you lose you don't get anything.
